Provincial minimum wage (UMP) is the lowest monthly wage standard applicable in an Indonesian province.

The UMP is set by the governor and must be paid by employers to laborers, employees, or workers who have been employed for less than one year.

However, there is an exception for micro and small enterprises, allowing these groups to pay employees lower wages than the UMP.

According to data from the Ministry of Manpower, the average UMP in Indonesia in 2025 is Rp3.32 million per month.

Furthermore, according to data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the average net salary received by laborers, employees, or workers in Indonesia in August 2025 is Rp3.33 million per month.

This means that the average net salary of employees in Indonesia in August 2025 is only 0.46% higher than the national UMP.
