Croatia has a government-mandated minimum wage. No worker in Croatia should be paid less then this minimum pay rate.
Employers in Croatia who do not pay the Minimum Wage may be subject to punishment by the government of Croatia.
Croatia, like many other nations, has a minimum wage, which is a set monthly compensation. The total sum with perks can vary slightly depending on where the company is registered, even though the net salary amount is specified at the national level. This is due to the fact that municipal taxes, which vary from city to city, are taken into account when calculating the pay.
The minimum wage salary is broken down in several ways. First, there is bruto and neto. Bruto is the total amount of salary, including all taxes, health insurance premiums, pension, and your take-home pay. Neto is the net salary that you’ll receive on your bank account each month.
The bruto salary is the amount that will vary by jurisdiction. We’ve included an approximate average below. You can calculate the bruto for your jurisdiction by location using this calculator.
Additionally, there are two levels of minimum wage. One is for workers and the other is for directors, members of management, liquidators, and association managers.
Average monthly wage in Croatia
The average monthly wage (average monthly net and gross earnings of persons in paid employment) in Croatia is defined by the official state administration body responsible for statistics. In Croatia, this body is called Državni zavod za statistiku (Croatian Bureau of Statistics).
This amount is used to determine a variety of thresholds related to salaries for foreigners as well as benefits related to healthcare.

When a third-country citizen wishes to get a work and residence permit based on a Croatian company they own, there are specific requirements they must meet. One of those requirements relates to salary, which is defined by the Law on Foreigners.
Those requirements are:
Third-country nationals who are self-employed in companies (d.o.o., j.d.o.o.) or trade businesses (obrt) where they are founders or they own at least 51% of the ownership can get a work permit if:
If a Croatian company employs foreign nationals only part-time, there is no minimum on the number of hours they must work. However, there is a minimum monthly salary that they must receive.
Their salary must be equal to at least 50% of the average monthly neto salary in the previous year. This amount changes every year according to the amount of average monthly salaries.
Members of the OPG who are employed in the OPG must be paid at least minimum wage in Croatia or the amount determined by the work contract. Members who are not employed have to pay for contributions (doprinosi).
