Minimum wage in Indonesia

There is no single statutory figure to show for Indonesia.

Check the date. Minimum wages change, in many countries every year. The figure above is the one in force at the date shown. Confirm the current amount with the official source below before you rely on it. This is general information, not legal or employment advice.

Who sets it

The governor of each province sets the provincial minimum wage on the advice of a provincial wage council. A governor may also set a higher minimum for a regency or city, and for sectors.

How it changes

Each province reviews and announces its minimum wage every year, normally to take effect on 1 January. National rules provide the formula the provinces use.

Who is covered, and who is treated differently

Rates are stated per month.
Some provinces have sector minimums on top of the area minimums.

What to watch for

There is no one figure for the country. Find the rate for the province, regency or city where the work is done.

Understand the legal system first

Indonesia belongs to the Civil law family. How pay is regulated depends on how the legal system makes and applies labour law.
