Current text · last reform published in the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF) on 14 May 2026
Minimum wage is the lowest amount that the working person must receive in cash for the services rendered in a working day.
The minimum wage must be sufficient to satisfy the normal needs of a head of family in the material, social and cultural order, and to provide for the compulsory education of the children.
The establishment of institutions and measures that protect the purchasing capacity of the wage and facilitate the access of every working person to the obtaining of satisfiers is considered of social utility.
The annual fixing of the minimum wages, or the revision thereof, shall never be below the inflation observed during the period of its validity elapsed.
