2025 Reference Value Update Report: Living Wage Report for Urban Cameroon
Abstract
This report updates the Anker Living Wage Reference Value for urban Cameroon to 2025. In the original report, the value was comprised of a Net Living Wage, plus income tax and a social security contribution. The updated Anker Gross Living Wage is comprised of a Net Living Wage, plus mandatory pay deductions which would need to be paid by law as a contribution to social security (4.2%), housing fund (1%), and income tax (16.5%). This revision reflects cumulative inflation between the original estimate and the present. Without adjusting for inflation, the Living Wage estimated in 2023 would not be sufficient for families to have a basic but decent standard of living in 2025, because the purchasing power of the Living Wage would have decreased. Mandatory deductions were calculated using the most up-to-date tax laws.
