36 out of 38 provincial governments (Pemprov) in Indonesia have set their Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP) for 2026. The deadline for this determination falls on Wednesday, December 24, 2025.

Two provinces, namely the Special Region of Aceh and Highland Papua, have not yet set their UMP. It is known that Aceh has not determined its wage amount because it is still under a post-disaster emergency response status.

Government Regulation (GR) Number 36/2021, which is now GR 49/2025 concerning Wages, states that wage determination must be adjusted to the standard of Decent Living Needs (KHL).

KHL adopts the International Labour Organization (ILO) reference, used to calculate the monthly needs of a single worker to live decently. This includes costs for food, health, education, housing, transportation, recreation, and other basic necessities.

The value of KHL can also vary from one province to another.

According to Katadata.co.id's findings, out of 36 provinces, only 5 provinces have a UMP that already meets the KHL standard.

These provinces include North Sulawesi, South Sulawesi, Gorontalo, West Sulawesi, and South Sumatra. This means that the majority, 31 provinces or 85% of the total, still set their UMP below the KHL.

Here are the details of the 5 provinces with a 2026 UMP above the KHL:

North Sulawesi

2026 UMP: Rp4,002,630

KHL: Rp3,864,224

South Sumatra

2026 UMP: Rp3,942,963

KHL: Rp3,299,907

South Sulawesi

2026 UMP: Rp3,921,088

KHL: Rp3,670,085

Gorontalo

2026 UMP: Rp3,405,144

KHL: Rp3,398,395

West Sulawesi

2026 UMP: Rp3,315,934

KHL: Rp3,091,442
