Minimum wage increases vary by country, state, or city, so the exact amount “it’s going up” depends on where you live and when the next change takes effect. For example, in 2025 many U.S. states and localities are raising their minimum wages even though the federal rate is still 7.257.257.25 dollars per hour, and other countries like the UK and Germany have their own scheduled increases.

• Your country.
• Your state/province (and city, if in the U.S. or Canada).
• Whether you are asking about a specific date (like January 1, 2026).
