Overview
- For 2026 the government’s internal draft sets monthly payments between €217.37 and €796.24, implying rises of roughly €11 to €200 depending on income.
- The plan keeps 15 brackets tied to declared net earnings and sketches a 2028 range of about €252 to €1,208.
- The ministry argues the scheme makes contributions more progressive, aligns them with real income and strengthens coverage such as cessation-of-activity benefits.
- ATA’s president Lorenzo Amor rejects the proposal as a “new blow” and refuses support, while Madrid’s leader Isabel Díaz Ayuso criticizes the increases in public remarks.
- The proposal is under negotiation in the social dialogue process and would require a legal instrument and a congressional vote, with the option to extend current rates in 2026 if no agreement is reached.
