What this value means
946 EUR/month (5.67 EUR/hour) from 2026-04-01. UNUSUAL EFFECTIVE DATE: the 2026 rise took effect 1 April, not 1 January — tripartite negotiations broke down and the prior 886 EUR/month (from 2025-01-01) applied for Q1 2026. Sources published as '2026 minimum wage' without a date may show either figure. RECONFIRMED 2026-10-28: reconfirm. § 3 of the same regulation: „Määrus jõustub 1. aprillil 2026. a.“ The hourly floor of 5,67 eurot is not the headline monthly value. A raw GET returned HTTP 200 as a JavaScript shell without the operative text; a rendered read of the same official URL returned the regulation. Ministry notice https://www.mkm.ee/uudised/tootasu-alammaar-touseb-aprillist-946-euroni (HTTP 200, dated 19.03.2026) states the same 946 eurot monthly and 5,67 eurot hourly figures.
