Frequently asked questions
Has the Euro model been adopted?
No. It is a proposal by the Government. To become law it has to be adopted by Parliament and published in the Official Gazette of Montenegro. If that happens, this page will say so clearly at the top.
What would the minimum salary be in 2027?
Under the proposal, the minimum net salary (minimum wage) for full-time work would be €1,000, €1,250 or €1,400 a month, depending on the education level required for the job. The current minimum net salaries are €600 and €800 a month.
Who would get €1,000, who €1,250 and who €1,400?
It would depend on the education level required for the job under the employer's job classification, not on the qualifications the employee holds: €1,000 for jobs at levels I–II, €1,250 for secondary education (levels III–IV) and €1,400 for higher education. Reports on the bills disagree about level V, so we show both possible amounts.
I work part-time. Would the proposed minimum apply to me?
The proposed minimum salary would apply to full-time work; for part-time work, it would be calculated pro rata according to the hours worked. This calculator assumes full-time work. If today's net salary is below today's minimum of €600, the calculation does not apply the proposed minimum.
What would abolishing the pension (PIO) contribution mean, and how would it affect my pension?
Today 10% of the gross salary goes to the Pension and Disability Insurance Fund as the employee's contribution. Under the proposal that contribution would be 0%, so the money would form part of the net salary instead. Pension rights and years of service are governed by the pension law, which this calculator does not cover.
How much would a worker cost the employer?
For salaries above the proposed minimums, the total employer cost would fall slightly because the employer's 0.5% unemployment contribution would be abolished. For salaries that would need to rise to a proposed minimum, the cost would increase: a worker on today's minimum of €600 net costs about €678 a month today and would cost about €1041 (levels I–II) or €1321 (levels III–IV).
Is this "Evropa sad 3"?
Not officially. The Government calls the programme the Euro model. It follows Evropa sad 1 (January 2022) and Evropa sad 2 (October 2024), which our salary calculator already covers.
