This is a list of the official minimum wage rates of the Top 10 cities with the largest economies in ASEAN. Some cities may have a complicated minimum wage system. For example, in Vietnam, both Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi has 2 types of minimum wage rates. Singapore and Metro Manila also has different types of minimum wage systems based on industries/services. Other cities from Indonesia and Malaysia have simple rate systems for minimum wages such as Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Surabaya, Bandung and Medan. In the table below, only the lowest minimum wage is cited.

Methodology The minimum wages listed refer to a gross amount, that is before deduction of taxes and social security contributions, which vary from one city to another. Also excluded from calculations are regulated paid days off, including public holidays, sick leave, annual leave and social insurance contributions paid by the employer. Converted local currency to US Dollar is calculated on the exchange rate of 1 January 2024 with the exception of Manila on 13 July 2024.

For comparison, an annual wage column is provided in international dollars, a hypothetical unit of currency calculated based on the purchasing power parity (PPP) of household final consumption expenditure. For calculating the annual wage, the lowest general minimum wage was used.
