The Minimum Wage Reference Calculator programme is a simple tool to assist employers and employees to quickly and initially compute the minimum wage for the more common work patterns for reference. After entering all basic information (including hours worked and wages) and pressing the "Generate Report" button, the programme will work out the amount of minimum wage and the wages payable to the employee to see if the minimum wage requirement is met.
NOTE
This calculator programme works according to the data (including hours worked and wages) you have entered and certain assumptions on wage calculations. The computation results generated by the calculator programme are for quick and initial reference. Accurate calculations would require consideration of other factors like the terms and conditions under the employment contract and the actual hours worked/leave taken in the month etc. Since these factors would vary from case to case, they may not be able to be reflected fully in the computation. The Labour Department accepts no liability for any loss arising from or related to the use of the information. The information generated by this calculator programme should neither be used in any legal proceedings nor be regarded as evidence in pursuing any claim.
* If 1 May 2023 falls within a wage period, the Statutory Minimum Wage rate of $40 per hour applies to any hour worked on or after 1 May 2023 in calculating minimum wage for that wage period.
Based on the information entered by you, wages payable to the employee for the month after excluding payment for time that is not hours worked, if any, is which is no less than the minimum wage of based on the total no. of hours worked in the month. Accordingly, the Statutory Minimum Wage requirement has been met.

Based on the information entered by you, wages payable to the employee for the month after excluding payment for time that is not hours worked, if any, is which is less than the minimum wage of based on the total no. of hours worked in the month. Accordingly, the employer needs to pay the employee additional remuneration of (minimum wage - wages payable to the employee) in order to meet the Statutory Minimum Wage requirement. In other words, the employer needs to pay the employee a total of (i.e. monthly wages of + additional remuneration of ).

Computations in this calculator programme are based on the following assumptions:
the wage period is a calendar month;
the wage rate for each working day is the same;
the employee has worked on all working days (i.e. no statutory holiday, annual leave, sick leave, maternity leave, paternity leave or other paid leave taken) in the relevant month; and
other than payment for rest day/day off and meal break (if any), there is no payment for time that is not hours worked in the month.
