About
SMIG (Guaranteed Minimum Interprofessional Wage) and SMAG (Guaranteed Minimum Agricultural Wage) are the two legal minimum wages set by the Moroccan government to protect private-sector workers. SMIG applies to industry, commerce and services, while SMAG is reserved for agricultural employees. Following the social agreement signed as part of the national social dialogue, SMIG has been revised upward and reaches approximately 3,111 MAD per month in 2026 for 191 monthly working hours, roughly 17.10 MAD per hour. SMAG stands at around 93 MAD per effective agricultural workday. These figures are gross amounts, before CNSS social contributions, AMO health insurance and income tax.
