Yes—Bulgaria’s minimum wage is increasing from €620.20 to €660 per month on 1 January 2027. That is an extra €39.80 a month, or 6.4%. bnrnews +1 Monthly minimum: €660 for a full working month, based on an eight-hour day and a five-day working week. bnrnews Hourly minimum: €3.98 from the same date. bnrnews Status: approved, not merely proposed. The government adopted the decree on 29 October, and it has been published in the State Gazette. bnrnews These are gross wage figures—the statutory minimum before employee deductions, rather than take-home pay. The current €620.20 monthly minimum remains applicable until the new rate takes effect. bnrnews +1
