Increase of the subsistence minimum from July 1, 2020 in Slovakia | News Flash

27 Jul 2020

The subsistence minimum is a limit that sets the minimum livelihood in Slovakia. If a natural person falls below this limit, a state of emergency occurs. The change in an amount of the subsistence minimum in Slovakia this year, occurred on Wednesday, July 1, 2020 and its amount increased by EUR 5.13.

The amount of the subsistence minimum is adjusted annually based on recalculations of the growth coefficient of net cash income per person or growth coefficient of living cost of low-income households.

The change in the amount of the subsistence minimum

The amount of the subsistence minimum is determined by Act no. 601/2003 Coll. on the subsistence minimum and on the amendment of certain acts, as amended.

  • The growth coefficients of net cash income per person for the 1st quarter of the current calendar year are compared with the 1st quarter of the previous calendar year, which should be lower than the growth coefficient of living costs of low-income households for the given period.
  • The growth coefficients of living costs of low-income households for the given period are compared. If the growth coefficient of living costs of low-income households for the given period is lower than the growth coefficient of net cash income per person than again, the 1st quarter of the current calendar year is compared with the 1st quarter of the previous calendar year.
