The new national minimum wage

On 3 February 2026, the Minister of Employment and Labour published the new national minimum wage under the National Minimum Wage Act, 2018. Effective 1 March 2026, the national minimum wage for all workers will be increased to R 30.23 for each ordinary hour worked. This is an increase of R 1.44 (which totals to approximately 5%) from the current minimum of R 28.79.

For a typical work week of 38 hours, this is equivalent to R 1 148.74 per week or R 4974.04 per month. For a typical work week of 45 hours, this is equivalent to R 1 360.35 per week or approximately R 5 890.32 per month. For employees working four hours or less in a day, this equates to R 120.92 per day.
