最低工资标准测算方法
国际上确定最低工资一般考虑城市居民生活费用支出、平均
工资、劳动生产率、失业率、经济发展水平等因素。可用公式表示
为：
Ｍ＝Ｆ（Ｃ、Ａ、Ｌ、Ｕ、Ｅ、ａ）
Ｍ最低工资标准；
Ｃ城市居民人均生活费用；
Ａ平均工资；
Ｌ劳动生产率；
Ｕ失业率；
Ｅ经济发展水平；
ａ调整因素。
国际上采用的确定最低工资标准的具体测算方法有八种，分别是：恩格尔系数法、比重法、累加法、超必需品剔除法、平均数法、生活状况分析法、分类综合计算法、经济计量分析法。下面重点介绍比重法和恩格尔系数法。
1、比重法 即根据城镇居民家计调查资料，确定一定比例的最低人均收入户为贫困户，统计出贫困户的人均生活费用支出水平，乘以每一就业者的赡养系数，再加上一个调整数。
2、恩格尔系数 即根据国家营养学会提出的年度标准食物食谱及标准食物摄取量，结合标准物的市场价格，计算出最低食物支出标准，除以恩格系数，得出最低生活费用标准，再乘以每一就业者的赡养系数，再加上一个调整数。
以上方法计算出最低工资标准后，再考虑职工平均工资水平、社会救济金和待业保险金标准、就业状况、劳动生产率水平、经济发展水平等进行必要的修正。举例：
某地区最低收入组人均每月生活费支出为90元，每一就业者赡养系数为1．5，最低食物费用为60元，恩格尔系数为0．7，平均工资为250元。
（1）按比重法计算得出该地区最低工资标准为：
最低工资标准＝90×1．5＋Ｃ＝135＋Ｃ元（Ｃ为调整数）
（2）按恩格尔系数计算得出该地区最低工资标准为：
最低工资标准＝60÷0．7×1．5＋ｂ＝128．6＋ｂ元（ｂ为调整数）
国际上一般最低工资相当于平均工资的40－60％，则该地最低工资约为100－150元。
那么，可以得出该地区的最低工资标准为130元／月。
得出最低工资标准后，一定要进行可行性验证，尤其要看大部分企业是否承受得了，然后再最后确定。
