Increase in the living and subsistence minimum

Share article:

From 1 April 2022, the government has approved an increase in the living and subsistence minimum in response to the current household situation of high inflation and rising energy prices. The living and subsistence minimum will increase by 10 % and will also affect some other social benefits. More money will also be given to those, who receive subsistence allowance, housing allowance, foster care allowance or extraordinary immediate assistance.

  • The subsistence minimum is increased from CZK 2,490 to CZK 2,740
  • The living minimum is increased from CZK 3,860 to CZK 4,250
  • In the area of enforcement, the debtor’s non-forfeitable amount is increased from the original CZK 8,006.25 to CZK 8,298.75 and the new non-forfeitable amount for each dependent is increased from the original CZK 2,668.75 to CZK 2,766.25.

The most widespread benefit, parental allowance, is not linked to the subsistence minimum and therefore does not change in any way.
