List of minimum wages in People's Republic of China

As different parts of China have very different standards of living, China does not set one minimum wage for the entire nation. Instead, the task of setting minimum wages is delegated to the local governments. Each province, municipality, or region sets its own minimum wage in accordance with its own local conditions.

The table below lists the minimum monthly wages for some of the provinces or regions in China. The US$ column is based on the 31th December 2011 conversion rate of US$1 = RMB¥6.30.

Note: The following table can be sorted by Jurisdiction, Wage, or Effective date using the icon.
