Minimum wage (gross)

Envoy Global / WageIndicator (2026 Council of Ministers decree)McDonald's operates in Bulgaria (e.g. Sofia and other cities). Big Mac standalone price ~10.70 BGN observed late October 2025 per EatMyIndex Big Mac tracker; this is the most recent authoritative standalone figure found (a Big Mac MEAL/combo in Sofia is ~17 BGN per Expatistan, Feb 2026, but that is the combo, not the sandwich). Statutory national minimum wage effective 1 Jan 2026: 1,213 BGN/month and 7.31 BGN/hour, set by Council of Ministers decree under Art. 244(1) of the Labour Code, adopted 12 Nov 2025 (12.6% rise from 2025's 1,077 BGN). IMPORTANT: Bulgaria joined the eurozone on 1 Jan 2026, so the wage is now officially denominated in EUR (620.20 EUR/month, 3.74 EUR/hour) at the fixed rate 1 EUR = 1.95583 BGN; the BGN equivalents (1,213 and 7.31) are reported here per request. Hourly is officially published (native_hourly); 40-hour standard workweek (8h/day, 5 days). Big Mac price confidence slightly lower than wage figure since it is from a price-tracker observation rather than the official McDonald's BG menu.
