SMN — salário mínimo nacional (national minimum wage)
The everyday and press name for what the law calls the RMMG. For 2026 it is €920 a month gross on the mainland; take-home pay is €818.80, because 11% goes to Segurança Social and no income tax is deducted from a wage this size.
Where you come across it. Portuguese newspapers, job adverts, conversations about pay and income thresholds.
Madeira and the Azores have their own, higher rates, and what counts is where you work, not where you are registered as living.
