The correct calculation base
Dividing €17,094 by 12 gives €1,424.50 a month. The principal applicant needs 200% of that amount, or €2,849 a month.
Family members
The first family member adds 75% of the average monthly SMI, or €1,068.38. Each additional family member adds 25%, or €356.13. The calculated minimum for a family of three is €4,273.50 a month.
- Principal applicant – €2,849
- First family member – €1,068.38
- Each additional family member – €356.13
Allowance for exchange-rate movement
Where income is received in another currency, meeting the minimum on one calculation date provides little resilience. We allow for currency movement and check that the amount is supported by contracts, receipts and bank records.
