Bulgaria will surpass Romania in net minimum wage from 2027
Published
From 1 January 2027, Bulgaria will have a net minimum wage higher than Romania's. According to published information, Bulgaria's minimum wage will rise to approximately 520 euros. This means the neighbouring country will overtake Romania in this area.
The net minimum wage is the smallest amount of money an employee can receive after taxes and contributions have been deducted. So far, Romania has had a higher net minimum wage than Bulgaria. The change will take place at the beginning of 2027, when the new level of the Bulgarian minimum wage comes into force.
This situation shows an important shift in the comparison between the two countries. For many Romanians, the minimum wage is an important benchmark, because it also influences incomes in certain sectors and discussions about the standard of living. The information is especially relevant for people following economic developments in the region.
So, from 2027, Bulgaria will have a net minimum wage higher than Romania's. The increase to approximately 520 euros will mark a new stage in the evolution of minimum wages in South-Eastern Europe.
