Saskatchewan will increase its minimum wage to $15.35 on Oct. 1.

Overview

  • Saskatchewan will increase its minimum wage by 35 cents to $15.35 per hour beginning October 1, 2025.
  • The new rate will move the province above Alberta’s $15 floor while keeping it $2.40 below the federal minimum of $17.75.
  • The government’s indexation formula assigns equal weight to shifts in the Consumer Price Index and the province’s average hourly wage.
  • Labour Minister Jim Reiter said the adjustment fulfills commitments to worker affordability and upholds Saskatchewan’s competitive personal tax advantage.
  • In the coming months, officials will consult the Chambers of Commerce and other stakeholders to assess the increase’s impact on businesses and the broader economy.
