What is the 2026 UMK status of each regency and city in North Sumatra?

The UMP applies in every regency and city of a province. A regency or city that sets a UMK uses the UMK, which is always higher than the UMP. We have not yet verified the UMK decree for this province, so we do not show its figures. Ask the local manpower office or check the provincial government website.

What is the 2026 North Sumatra minimum wage per day and per hour?

A daily wage is the monthly wage divided by 25 where the company works a 6-day week, or by 21 for a 5-day week. An hourly wage applies only to part-time workers: the monthly wage divided by 126. The table works these out from the 2026 UMP; they are calculations, not rates set by the government.
