The answer depends on where you are, because minimum wage is set by country and often by state, province, or city.

Here are a few current examples to give you a sense of typical rates in late 2025:

• United States federal minimum wage is 7.257.257.25 USD per hour, but many states and cities require more; for example, Washington and California have statewide rates above 161616 USD per hour, and Washington, D.C. is around 181818 USD per hour.

• United Kingdom has a “National Living Wage” and minimum wage that vary by age; the top adult rate is a little over £12 per hour before tax.

• Netherlands has a statutory minimum wage of about €14.06 gross per hour for workers aged 21 and over in the first half of 2025.

To give you a precise figure for what applies to you personally, say which country (and if in the U.S., which state or city).
