Life in Luxembourg

The Grand Duchy has one of the highest GDPs per capita in Europe. In 2017, the minimum gross monthly salary (40-hour week) for an unskilled worker was €1,998.59, while for a skilled worker it was €2,398.30. This means Luxembourg has the highest minimum wage in the European Union.

The cost of living is high in Luxembourg, but on a level with other major European capitals. Housing and food make up a large part of the household budget, but some expenses such as fuel and electricity have very competitive rates.
