About minwage.me
A simple question with a surprisingly revealing answer: in your country, how many Big Macs does one hour of minimum wage buy?
Why we built this
Wages are abstract; a burger is not. By pinning every country's minimum wage to the same product, we turn dry labour statistics into something you can feel — and share.
Accurate by design
Every number is sourced from official statistics and cross-checked. The main metric needs no exchange rates, so it stays honest even when currencies swing.
