From July, the income levels and amounts relating to the Family Allowance will be updated. As usual, a revaluation based on consumer prices will be applied, which will lead to changes. Istat calculated the change in the consumer price index by comparing the current data with that of the previous year.

Changes in July
With the introduction of the Single and Universal Allowance for dependent children in March 2022, the Family Allowance and the Family Allowance have been repealed for households with children and orphans, who are now covered by the Single Allowance . The new income levels that will come into effect on July 1st are for family units made up of spouses, siblings and grandchildren.
Changes in income levels
The percentage change calculated by Istat between 2022 and 2023 is +5.4%. This increase has allowed Istat to draw up reference tables with the monthly amounts for different families. The changes will be valid from 1 July 2024 until 30 June 2025.
