Reference Value Report: Living Wage Report and 2025 Update for Rural and Urban Gabon
2025 Reference Value Update Report: Living Wage Report for Rural and Urban Gabon
Abstract
This report updates the Anker Living Wage Reference Values for rural and urban Gabon to 2025. In the original report, the estimated Living Wage in 2021 was XAF 200,770 per month for rural areas and XAF 268,721 per month for urban areas. Between 2021 and 2025, inflation was 11.0%. The updated Gross Living Wage for 2025 is XAF 229,540 per month for rural areas and XAF 304,149 per month for urban areas. These figures include income tax and mandatory social security contributions. The corresponding Net Living Wage—after deductions—is XAF 210,029 per month for rural areas and XAF 278,296 per month for urban areas. Without adjusting for inflation, the 2021 Living Wage would not suffice for a basic yet decent standard of living in 2025 due to reduced purchasing power. This update reflects the most recent tax laws and social security requirements.
