Minimum wage reference
Belgium
Eurostat publishes a standardized gross monthly minimum wage of 2,234.00 EUR for Belgium at 2026-S2, applicable on 2026-07-01. The table is updated half-yearly rather than monthly. EUR, purchasing-power-standard and national-currency observations are kept as separate series because their units and comparison meanings differ. Country-specific age, tenure, skill and coverage rules can apply and are not represented as separate dimensions in this dataset.
