Minimum Wage in Qatar 2026

Qatar enforces a non-discriminatory minimum wage. For workers not provided with food or accommodation by their employer, the total compensation package must reach a minimum of QAR 1,800 per month.
The breakdown works like this:
| Component | Minimum Amount |
| Basic wage | QAR 1,000 |
| Food allowance | QAR 300 |
| Accommodation allowance | QAR 500 |
| Total | QAR 1,800 |
If your employer provides food and housing directly, the allowances do not apply. If they do not, you are entitled to every dirham of that minimum.
