South Africa’s minimum wage rises to R30.23/hour on March 1, 2026, affecting most workers.
South Africa’s national minimum wage will rise to R30.23 per hour starting March 1, 2026, a 5% increase from R28.79, affecting most workers including domestic and farm employees.
The adjustment, based on an annual review and public input, aims to keep pace with inflation and living costs.
The new rate applies to most employees, though EPWP workers receive a separate increase to R16.62 per hour.
The law sets a legal pay floor, enforceable by fines, and excludes certain groups like military personnel and unpaid volunteers.
Additional sector-specific rates are available online.
