Two parents and two children. If only one parent works and receives the minimum wage, is that enough? If not, how much larger does the wage have to be?

For example, the current minimum wage in Croatia is around 800 € (in 2026, it will be around 860 €). A family that pays for housing needs about twice as much. I would say 2 to 2.5 minimum wages.

How much is it in your country? What’s your rough estimate? I ask because I’m curious if in some countries it’s closer to 1 than to 2, and in other countries over 3.
