The basic unemployment allowance will increase to 37.21 euros per day.

A temporary additional 20% increase in child increases will be made in 2023. The child increases will increase so that the increase for one child will rise to 7.01 euros, from two children to 10.29 euros and from at least three children to 13.26 euros per day.

The increase in the level of basic unemployment allowance also affects earnings-related unemployment allowance, because earnings-related unemployment allowance consists of a basic component and an earnings-related part. The basic part is equal to the basic unemployment allowance (37.21e/day) and the earnings-related part is calculated from income before unemployment.

The earnings-related component is 45 per cent of the difference between your daily wage and the basic component. If your monthly salary is more than 3534,95 euros, the earnings-related component is 20 % of the exceeding amount. This also differs from year 2022 (limit 3277.50 euros in 2022).

The amount of earnings-related unemployment allowance is also affected by the TyEL deduction, which in 2023 will be 4.40% (4.29% in 2022).

The increases will take effect on 1 January 2023.
