Minimum wage in Vanuatu

No rate rows are published yet for Vanuatu. Check back soon.

National hourly minimum wage set by order under the Minimum Wage Act [CAP 182] (Minimum Wage and Minimum Wages Board Order No. 56 of 1987 as amended). Order No. 116 of 2019 raised it from VT 200 to VT 220 per hour (September 2019); secondary sources report VT 300 per hour from 1 June 2023. No rows published: the 2023 order could not be found in any official copy, so the 2019 rate would wrongly show as current.
