“Now” is the minimum rate from the first full pay period starting on or after 1 July 2026. “Before” is that rate with the 4.75% rise taken out, so it can differ from the published 2025-26 rate by a cent. *Classifications on the new $26.44 (C13) or $25.74 (C14) floor rose by more than 4.75%, so no estimate is shown. Awards that also had a work value increase during the year rose by more. Annual increase = the hourly rise × 38 hours × 52 weeks for a full-time employee.
