The National Commission for Domestic Work (CNTCP) has updated the mandatory minimum wage scales for domestic workers in Argentina for the final months of 2026.

In October 2026, wages saw a 1.7% increase alongside the integration of a portion of a non-remunerative bonus established in August. For general tasks, hourly rates were set at $4,064.08 with stay-out and $4,337.53 with live-in arrangements. Other categories, such as supervisors and specialized personnel, received varying adjustments based on their specific roles.

For November 2026, a 1.6% increase will be applied across all categories. This update also marks the final stage of integrating the non-remunerative sum, with the remaining 25% being incorporated into the basic salary. Under this new scale, general task workers will earn a minimum of $4,170.52 per hour with stay-out and $4,571.91 with live-in arrangements.
