Reading the data

What the figures say about Armenia

The statutory minimum wage stands at AMD 75,000 per month, against an average monthly wage of AMD 159,067, giving employers a clear sense of the gap between floor and market rates. On payroll costs, employers pay 0% social security, while employees contribute 5% of their own earnings, meaning the employer's direct statutory labour cost sits almost entirely in gross salary. Corporate tax is 18%, the top personal income tax rate is 20%, and the standard VAT rate is also 20%. Severance is set at 4.3 weeks and the statutory notice period at 8.7 weeks, so total exit costs for a dismissed employee can reach roughly 13 weeks of pay before any dispute arises. Maternity leave runs to 114.3 weeks, a notably long statutory entitlement, while paternity leave is 1 week. The labour force numbers 1.4 million people, with an unemployment rate of 12.87% as of 2025 and a retirement age of 63 years.

The differentiator

What an EOR handles in Armenia
