Raising the minimum wage

:::

To raise domestic pay levels, the government has, since May 2016, implemented several measures, including increasing individual income tax deductions, improving pay transparency, and raising the salaries of military personnel, civil servants and public school teachers to stimulate comparable salary increases in the private sector. Moreover, to safeguard the basic welfare of low-income workers, the government approved an increase to the national basic wage for eight consecutive years through 2024.

On January 1, 2024, the Minimum Wage Act came into effect, ensuring that the government continues to support the living standards of low-income workers. In January 2025, the minimum wage was increased again, with the monthly minimum wage rising by 42.9% from NT$20,008 (US$609) in 2016 to NT$28,590 (US$870) in 2025, and the hourly minimum wage by 58.3% from NT$120 (US$3.65) in 2016 to NT$190 (US$5.78) in 2025, fulfilling the government's promise to safeguard the basic livelihoods of workers and their families.
