Figure 5: Collectively agreed average and median monthly wages in 10 low-paid jobs, January 2025, EU Member States (EUR)
Notes: Rates for countries with more than 12 monthly wage payments per year were converted by dividing the annual total of the minimum wage by 12 calendar months. Hourly rates were converted to monthly rates by applying the collectively agreed working hours (or 162.5 hours per month for Norway). Rates for countries not in the euro area were converted from national currencies to euro by applying the exchange rate applicable at the end of the previous reference month.
