What this value means
EUR 920.00 gross per month for the Continente from 1 January 2026, up EUR 50 (+5.7%) from EUR 870 in 2025. CRITICAL - PAID 14 TIMES A YEAR, NOT 12: Portuguese law mandates two extra full monthly payments, the subsidio de ferias (holiday allowance, Art. 264 CT) and the subsidio de Natal (Christmas allowance, Art. 263 CT), so the RMMG is paid 14 times per year. The value served is the MONTHLY figure (EUR 920); the annualised guaranteed minimum is 14 x 920 = EUR 12,880. Some employers pay the two subsidies in twelfths spread across the year (duodecimos), but the statutory monthly reference remains EUR 920. The RMMG is set each year by decree-law and forms part of the tripartite 'Acordo sobre a Valorizacao Salarial e Crescimento Economico 2025-2028', which commits to EUR 50 annual steps toward EUR 1,020 in 2028. REGIONAL VALUES ARE HIGHER AND NOT SERVED HERE: the Autonomous Region of the Azores sets a regional RMMG of EUR 966 (a statutory +5% uplift) and Madeira EUR 968 for 2026, under their own regional legislative decrees; the value served is the mainland figure, the correct national default. The RMMG is a monthly floor for full-time work, proportionally reduced for part-time. Access: DGERT (gov.pt labour directorate) confirmed the value and DL number; the Diario da Republica detail page returned an empty body to automated fetching and is flagged.
