Saskatchewan calculates its minimum wage using an indexation formula designed to give equal weight to changes in both the Consumer Price Index and the province’s average hourly wage. Use of the formula was paused between 2022 and 2024 as the province implemented a series of incremental increases to raise the minimum wage from $11.81/hour to $15/hour, but after achieving that goal the government has now returned to using the formula.
