Living Wage Subnational-Estimate Update Report: Mexico City 2025
By: Marcelo Delajara, Rocío Espinosa
Abstract
This report updates the Anker Living Wage estimate for Mexico City to June 2025. In the original report from June 2024, the estimated living wage for Mexico City was MXN 15,790 (USD 867) per month.2 Inflation during this period was 4.3%. The updated living wage for 2025 is MXN 16,567 (USD 869) per month, composed of a net living wage (take-home pay) of MXN 14,249 (USD 747) and income tax and social security contributions of MXN 2,318 (USD 122). Without adjusting for inflation, the 2024 living wage would not be sufficient for families to maintain a basic but decent standard of living in 2025, as its purchasing power would have declined. Income tax and social security contributions are calculated based on tax laws in effect as of June 2025.
