How it's calculated

Pick the type of worker. The matching hourly rate comes from the National Minimum Wage Regulations as amended by S.I. 16 of 2025.
The weekly minimum is the hourly rate times the hours you work in a week.
The monthly figure multiplies the weekly minimum by 52 and divides by 12. The regulations do not define a month, so treat it as an average.

An example

A regular worker on a 40 hour week must earn at least SCR 1,638 a week, which is SCR 7,098 in an average month. A casual worker on the same hours must earn at least SCR 1,887.60 a week.
