Statistics on social inclusion income. 2025

During 2025, a monthly average of 41,509 guaranteed income for citizens were paid out, representing an annual sum of 355 million euros. The monthly average of beneficiaries was 82,226, and the average benefit in December was 569 euros.

Compared to 2024, there is a 13.0 decrease in the number of benefits. This decrease in the number of cases and beneficiaries is the result of the increased family income, the termination of benefits within the biennial reviews of the cases on guaranteed income for citizens, and the favourable labour market trend, which is removing people who are full-time employed from the benefits. As for the economic volume, a drop of 9.6% is registered in relation to the previous year. Idescat also provides this information by municipalities, counties, and other territorial areas.

In terms of active inclusion income, an average of 2,239 benefits were paid out in the same period, with a total amount of 16.9 million euros. This benefit meant an average monthly income of 330 euros for the beneficiaries. Compared to 2024, the number of benefits decreased by 70.0% and the economic volume by 60.0%. These decreases are explained by the fact that with the unemployment subsidy reform under Royal Decree-Law 2/2024, of 21 May, from 1 November 2024 the active inclusion income is no longer available for new applications and is only received by people who had already been granted it before this date.
