The Czech Statistical Office (CZSO) put the average gross monthly wage at CZK 51,966 in the second quarter of 2026, 6.4% more than a year earlier and 4.3% more after inflation; the average for the first half of 2026 was CZK 50,650. The average is pulled up by high earners, so the median is a better guide to a typical salary: for 2025 it was CZK 44,337 a month — CZK 47,648 for men and CZK 41,068 for women — according to CZSO’s wage-structure statistics published in May 2026. Pay differs widely by occupation: the 2025 median was CZK 87,713 for managers, CZK 60,737 for professionals, CZK 50,239 for technicians and associate professionals, CZK 38,875 for clerical staff, CZK 33,856 in services and sales, and CZK 28,154 in elementary occupations. 5.89% of employees earned more than CZK 100,000 a month. The minimum wage for a 40-hour week is CZK 22,400 a month, or CZK 134.40 an hour, from 1 January to 31 December 2026, according to the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs. All figures are gross, before social and health insurance contributions and income tax. CZSO says medians for 2026 will be published only once a new data source, the employers’ single monthly report, has been checked.
