Asked in Bulgarian. Captured 2026-11-04T18:49:19.677Z. English translation of the saved answer. These are the assistant’s claims, preserved for inspection. They are not independently verified economic guidance. Yes. From 1 January 2027, Bulgaria’s minimum wage increases from €620.20 to €660 gross a month. This is an increase of €39.80, or 6.4%. The decision has already been adopted and published, rather than being just a proposal. \[forbesbulgaria +1\] What changes The monthly minimum wage becomes €660 for an eight-hour working day and a five-day working week. The minimum hourly rate increases from €3.74 to €3.98. The new amounts take effect from 1 January 2027; until the end of 2026, the monthly amount remains €620.20. \[forbesbulgaria +1\] The €660 amount is gross, before deductions for employee social insurance contributions and tax, rather than take-home pay. The increase is set by Council of Ministers Decree No. 235 of 29 October 2026. \[nova +1\] Original Bulgarian answer Да — от 1 януари 2027 г. минималната работна заплата в България се увеличава от 620,20 евро на 660 евро месечно бруто. Това е увеличение с 39,80 евро, или 6,4%. Решението вече е прието и обнародвано, а не е само предложение. forbesbulgaria +1 Какво се променя Месечната минимална заплата става 660 евро при 8-часов работен ден и 5-дневна работна седмица. Минималната часова ставка се увеличава от 3,74 евро на 3,98 евро. Новите размери влизат в сила от 1 януари 2027 г.; до края на 2026 г. месечният размер остава 620,20 евро. forbesbulgaria +1 Сумата от 660 евро е брутна — преди удържането на личните осигурителни вноски и данъка, а не сумата за получаване „на ръка“. Увеличението е определено с Постановление № 235 на Министерския съвет от 29 октомври 2026 г. nova +1 #### Source links returned with this reply - [Forbes Bulgaria · original article](https://forbesbulgaria.com/2026/11/04/minimalnata-rabotna-zaplata-stava-660-evro-ot-1-yanuari-2027-g/)https://forbesbulgaria.com/2026/11/04/minimalnata-rabotna-zaplata-stava-660-evro-ot-1-yanuari-2027-g/ -
