Average Salary in Luxembourg
The average gross salary in Luxembourg is €6,327 per month,
or €75,919 per year, according to the latest data from the National
Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg
(STATEC).
If we run this through our salary calculator, we get an estimated after-tax salary of €4,324 per month.
This figure makes Luxembourg the EU member state with the highest average wage.
However, it is important to note that the mean tends to be skewed by high earners, since it is calculated as the sum of all salaries
divided by the number of individuals.
Thus, the salary of the average worker in the Grand Duchy is likely lower.
Luxembourg has the highest average salary in the European Union!
Minimum Wage in Luxembourg
The minimum wage in Luxembourg is €2,638 per month
(€31,653 yearly) for unskilled workers,
and €3,165 per month (€37,984 per year) for skilled workers.
These figures refer to full-time employees (40-hour work week) over 18 years old, for which our tax calculator estimates
corresponding monthly net salaries of €2,243, and €2,614, respectively.
The minimum wage, also called the minimum social salary, plays an important role in how Luxembourg taxes are calculated, since it
determines the values of certain social contributions and tax credits.
The table below lists the minimum wages for the different age groups and qualifications, broken down into the corresponding hourly,
monthly, and yearly amounts.

How Is Salary Calculated and Paid in Luxembourg?
The salaries of employed taxpayers are generally taxed at source in Luxembourg.
This means that income tax and social security contributions are deducted monthly from the gross salary directly by employers.
The calculation of income tax depends on the individual's family status, therefore it is important to announce any change in your
personal situation as soon possible.
If you are self-employed, then you need to file a tax return with the
Luxembourg Inland Revenue,
who may even require you to make quarterly advance payments on your income tax.
You will also be required to pay both the employee's part and the employer's part of your social security contributions.
