Minimum wages in Indonesia differ from province to province. The provincial government annually issues a minimum wage that is applicable in the province. Government Regulation No. 78 of 2015 on Wages sets out a new strategy to calculate minimum wages for each province each year; this has been effective in formulating a more reliable annual calculation of minimum wage as of 2016. Furthermore, this new strategy takes into account yearly inflation rates and economic growth in calculating minimum wage.
The calculation of the minimum wage in Indonesia is based on time and target. Wages that are based on time are set out daily, weekly, or monthly basis, whereas wages based on targets are set in accordance to the work set by the employer.
Weekly or monthly wages are based on 40 hours of work per week. As regulated under Labour Law No. 13 of 2003, 40 hours per week can be implemented in the following ways:
Daily wages are calculated in the following ways:
Moreover, minimum wage components consist of food and beverage, clothing, education, healthcare, transportation, recreations, and savings.
Minimum wage upratings are calculated by the following formula:
New minimum wage = Current minimum wage + (Current minimum wage x (Inflation + % GDP annual increase during the year)).
