In public policy, a living wage is the minimum income necessary for a worker to meet their basic needs. This is not necessarily the same as subsistence, which refers to a biological minimum, though the two terms are commonly confused. These needs include shelter (housing) and other incidentals such as clothing and nutrition.
The living wage is often confused with the minimum wage. In fact, the terms are often used interchangeably. That's because the intent of the minimum wage is to provide a living wage. However, the minimum wage is an amount set by law, whereas the living wage is determined by costs. The amount needed to provide a living wage depends on what is included in the calculation. The amount set by lawmakers for the minimum wage must take into account the needs of business as well as workers.
