The government announced on September 30 that the Statutory Minimum Allowable Wage (MAW) for foreign domestic helpers will increase from HK$4,990 to HK$5,100 per month.
The food allowance remains unchanged at no less than HK$1,236 per month.
The new rates will apply to contracts signed on or after September 30, 2025.
Employers, please take note 👇
🔸 If you’re planning to renew a contract or hire a new helper, remember to use the new salary rate!
🔸 For existing contracts, the current salary remains valid — no need to adjust immediately.
