Minimum wage (gross)

WageIndicator / National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Regulations 2026 (Government Gazette, 17 Jan 2026)McDonald's operates in Mauritius via official franchise (mcdonalds.mu), ~18 locations island-wide (Grand Baie, Port Louis, Riche Terre, Trianon, Phoenix, Flacq, etc.). Big Mac standalone = Rs 240.00; Big Mac Meal = Rs 370.00 per Ordermanzer delivery menu (mcdonalds.mu official site does not publish prices; delivery-platform price may carry a small markup, hence medium confidence on the Big Mac figure). Numbeo gives a McMeal/combo of ~Rs 350 in Port Louis as a cross-check, consistent with the Rs 370 meal. Minimum wage: National Minimum Wage raised to Rs 17,745/month effective 1 Jan 2026 (from Rs 17,110), per National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Regulations 2026 published in Government Gazette 17 Jan 2026; confirmed by WageIndicator and ActivPayroll (some aggregators like Trading Economics still show the old Rs 17,110). Hourly is converted: 17745*12/52/45 = Rs 91.0/hr, using the statutory normal work week of 45 hours/week under the Workers' Rights Act 2019. Min-wage confidence is high; overall medium due to Big Mac source.
