The minimum wage is the lowest gross monthly pay that national law allows for a full-time employee, before income tax and social contributions. Eurostat records the rate in force on 1 January and on 1 July. Where the rate is set by the hour or the week it is converted to a month, and in Greece, Spain and Portugal, where it is paid 14 times a year, it is spread over 12 months. Wages in countries outside the euro area are converted into euros at the exchange rate of the end of the previous month, so the euro figure moves with the currency as well as with the wage.
