Over this 23-year period, annual wages in Spain fluctuated greatly, ranging from a low of 29,892 euros in 2006 to a high of approximately 33,253 euros in 2009. The average annual wage stood at approximately 31,945 euros in 2023. Compared to other European countries, Spain ranked fairly low in 2023. The annual salary in the Iberian country was similar to salaries in Italy and Slovenia, but remained far from the figures that were registered in France, Ireland, and Germany. Minimum wage Spain's minimum monthly wage was 1,134 euros as of 2024. Unlike the average annual wage, it has been constantly increasing on a nearly continuous basis since 2008, when the minimum wage was 600 euros per month. In 2019, the Socialist government of Spain passed a law by that increased the national minimum wage by 164 euros, therefore making it stand at 900 euros per month and reflecting the largest increase to date. Along with the monthly wage, the national minimum daily wage has also been raised consistently over the past years. In 2024, the gross minimum was 37.8 euros a day, whereas in 2000 it was 20 euros a day. Unequal pay The average salary in Spain diverges considerably according to different factors. For instance, the gender salary gap remains significant in the Mediterranean country, although it has shrunk in recent years. In 2022, the average salary for a male full-time employee was around nine percent higher than his female counterpart. The gender gap is even wider for permanent positions: that year, average annual salaries for women were roughly 6,000 euros less than average salaries for men. The salary gap is also conspicuous when looking at the wage for workers with disabilities, a gap that has increased in recent years. Geographic location is also important; the average net salary in regions such as Extremadura and the Canary Islands was less than 23,100 euros per year in 2022, far from the salary in the Basque Country and Madrid (32,300 and 31,200 euros, respectively).

Key information about Spain Household Income per Capita
https://www.ine.es/aviso_legalhttps://www.ine.es/aviso_legal
Women and Men in Spain: Average, median, modal annual salary, part time and full time by period. Annual. National.
Spain’s average income per capita has increased every year since 2014, when the Sovereign Debt Crisis caused a recession. In 2023, the figure amounted to 14,008 euros after taxes, up from 13,008 the previous year. Though this is the highest level to date, the increase is only slightly faster than inflation.
Age and regional differences
The net income per person broken down into age groups shows that young workers, aged between 16 and 29, earn almost 1,300 euros less annually than the national average and more than three thousand euros bellow the average income of workers above 65. This is to be expected, as workers gain experience and expertise as they age. However, regional differences are more remarkable. In the autonomous community with the highest average annual net income, the Basque Country, that figure exceeded 18,189 euros in 2023, while Murcia, which ranked as the region with the lowest average income, registered an average of approximately 11,314 euros per that year.
Disposable income
The income which remains once taxes and social security charges are deduced is known as disposable income. As of 2023, household savings as share of total disposable income in Spain stood at 7.3 percent. However, savings in relation to disposable income are is expected to diminish in the following years. During the last decade, and particularly throughout the Spanish Sovereign Debt Crisis, the country’s households suffered from high rates of indebtedness in relation to gross disposable income. At the peak in 2013, the indebtedness ratio, the ratio of debt to annual income, exceeded 130 percent. The ratio has since decreased and stood at 93.96 percent in the third quarter of 2022.
