living wage 
noun
A wage that is high enough to maintain a normal standard of living: they were no longer sure of earning a living wage there...
- Advocates of the minimum wage, living wage, and family wage never even raise this fairly critical question.
- We must raise the minimum wage to a living wage so that no one who works 40 hours a week lives in poverty.
- Others are pursuing area-wide minimum wages set at levels closer to a living wage.
