General adult full-time national minimum-wage reference in the Eurostat July 2026 release. Sector, age and collective-agreement exceptions may apply.

Estimate: Eurostat’s published 2234 EUR/month divided by 38 hours/week × 52/12. This average-month normalization is not a legal hourly-pay rule. Greece and Spain include annual extra salary payments prorated into 12 months; monthly observations can be rounded. July 1 is the statistical reference date, not necessarily the law’s commencement.
