Minimum Wage Ireland

Expert support to ensure you are legally compliant regarding minimum wage

Effective January 1, 2025, Ireland’s national minimum wage will increase by €0.80 to €13.50 per hour for workers aged 20 and over.

This adjustment follows the Low Pay Commission’s recommendation and is part of Budget 2025.

For advice on how to proceed what what type of raise you require to give your employees please visit Employers Advice

The updated minimum wage rates based on age are:

  • Under 18 years: €9.45 per hour
  • 18 years old: €10.80 per hour
  • 19 years old: €12.15 per hour
  • 20 years and over: €13.50 per hour

Additionally, to ensure that employers with employees working full-time on the national minimum wage are not required to pay the higher rate of employer PRSI, the threshold for the higher rate will be adjusted accordingly.

These changes aim to support low-paid workers while balancing the needs of employers and maintaining competitiveness.
