After a steep decline, starting in 2010 and culminating in the bottom value of 19,939 euros, average annual wages in Portugal increased to unprecedented figures. By 2021, the mean wage per year of work was 21,717 euros, despite the more than 200-euro drop that followed in 2022. By 2023, annual wages rose to 22,006 euros. The salary increase is not enough to tackle living expenses The surge in salaries is even more evident when considering minimum annual wages. Following a period of stagnation between 2011 and 2014, the Portuguese minimum annual salary has been on a hike, reaching 11,480 euros by 2024. This rise is relevant when considering the impact of growing inflation on the prices of goods and services, as it restores some purchasing power to workers. Nevertheless, 50 percent of Portuguese people stated, in 2023, that their professional income was mostly not enough to face up to living expenses.
