The exact change
The national minimum wage (RMMG) for 2026 is EUR 870 per month, giving an annual minimum of EUR 12,180. The meal card tax-free threshold (2026) is EUR 10.20/day.
The national minimum wage (RMMG) for 2026 is EUR 920 per month, set by Decreto-Lei 139/2025 effective January 1, 2026, giving an annual minimum of EUR 12,880. The meal card tax-free threshold (2026) is EUR 10.46/day.
Suggested change
Updated the 2026 Portuguese minimum wage from EUR 870/month to EUR 920/month (and the annual figure from EUR 12,180 to EUR 12,880), corrected the meal card daily allowance from EUR 10.20 to EUR 10.46, and clarified that the gerente (managing director) social security contribution rates apply only to non-managing statutory members, not active managing directors. The minimum wage figure was further confirmed corrected in the paired FAQ data during a later consistency audit.
Why this is better
The 2026 Portuguese minimum wage and the meal card daily tax-free allowance were both stated at stale, lower figures than the correct current amounts.
