The increase in care allowance in 2025 will bring significant financial improvement to more than 475,000 Austrian beneficiaries. Those affected can expect an increase of 4.6 percent, which means up to 95 euros more per month.

The Austrian care allowance will be significantly increased from January 1, 2025. The increase concerns all seven care levels and is granted regardless of income, as finanz.at reports.

The increase is scaled by level of care as follows:

Object 1: From 192.00 to 200.80 euros
Object 2: From 354.00 to 370.30 euros
Object 3: From 551.60 to 577.00 euros
Object 4: From 827.10 to 865.10 euros
Object 5: From 1,123.50 to 1,175.20 Euro
Object 6: From 1,568.90 to 1,641.10 Euro
Object 7: From 2,061.80 to 2,156.60 euros

The relative bonus also increases in 2025

The relative bonus, paid since July 2023, will also increase by 4.6 percent next year, to 130.75 euros per month or 1,569 euros per year (previously 125 euros/month or 1,500 euros/year).

Several criteria must be met to benefit from the relative bonus. For example, care allowance must be received at level 4 or above, care must have been provided for at least one year, net monthly income must be less than 1,500 euros and there must be no self-insurance nor any other insurance.
