The INPS foresees an adjustment of the single universal allowance for 2027 with an increase in the monthly amounts and ISEE thresholds: for a minor child the minimum amount goes from 58.30 to 60 euros and the maximum from 203.80 to 209.70 euros per month, while the ISEE bands are revised upwards, allowing some families to change band and obtain a greater increase than the simple adjustment of the amount.
AI-generated summary
The universal single allowance is an economic support for families with dependent children, managed by the INPS, which provides variable amounts based on the ISEE and the age of the children, with increases for disabilities and other conditions.
The adjustment does not only concern the sums recognized to families. The ISEE limits which identify the amount bands are also growing. The first threshold, associated with the highest values of the check, would rise from 17,468.51 euros in 2026 to 17,975.10 euros in 2027. The limit of the last band would also increase, going from 46,582.71 to over 47,933.61 euros. This change can be as important as the revaluation itself, because a family unit can change band and obtain a higher increase than that resulting from simply adjusting the amount.

For a minor child, the minimum amount would rise from 58.30 to 60 euros per month, while the maximum amount would go from 203.80 to 209.70 euros. The increase is therefore between 1.70 and 5.90 euros per month, equal to 20.40 and 70.80 euros respectively in a year. For children between 18 and 20 years old, the minimum would increase from 29.10 to 29.90 euros, while the maximum would rise from 99.10 to 102 euros. The profit would therefore be between 80 cents and 2.90 euros per month. The same basic amounts foreseen for minors also apply, according to the simulation, for minor children with disabilities and for adults with disabilities without age limits.

Additional amounts are also reevaluated. The increase for a non-self-sufficient child under 21 would go from 122.30 to 125.80 euros per month. For severe disability it would rise from 110.60 to 113.80 euros, while for medium disability from 99.10 to 102 euros. The increase recognized when the mother is under 21 years old would increase from 23.30 to 24 euros per month. Furthermore, the rate for children after the second increases from 99.10 to 102 euros, with a decreasing amount based on the ISEE. Finally, the bonus for households with a second income earner would increase from 34.90 to 35.90 euros in the maximum amount, with an increase of 1 euro per month.
For a family with only one minor child in the lowest bracket, the allowance would go from 58.30 to 60 euros: 1.70 euros more every month and 20.40 euros in a year. In the most favorable range, however, it would go from 203.80 to 209.70 euros, with an increase of 5.90 euros per month and 70.80 euros per year. However, there may be a further effect linked to the ISEE thresholds. With an ISEE of 17,975.10 euros in 2027, for example, the nucleus would fall into the first band and could receive 209.70 euros. In 2026 the same ISEE value fell into the sixth band, with a check of 201 euros. Moving up the band would therefore lead to an overall increase of 8.70 euros per month, equal to 104.40 euros per year.
With two minor children the effect of the basic increase is added. In the less favorable range, the total would go from 116.60 to 120 euros per month, with 3.40 euros more every month and 40.80 euros in a year. In the most favorable range, however, it would rise from 407.60 to 419.40 euros, i.e. 11.80 euros more per month and 141.60 euros per year. For families with three children, the increase for the child following the second also comes into play. In the example of three minor children in the most favorable bracket, the basic fee would go from 611.40 to 629.10 euros per month. Adding the increase for the third child, which increases from 99.10 to 102 euros, the total would rise from 710.50 to 731.10 euros. The overall increase would therefore be 20.60 euros per month, equal to 247.20 euros over the course of a year.
For two children both between 18 and 20 years old, in the maximum range, the overall increase in the basic fee would be 5.80 euros per month, equal to 69.60 euros per year. For a minor child with a serious disability, however, the amount may increase both as a result of the revaluation and thanks to the specific increase. In the most favorable ISEE range, the total would go from 314.40 euros per month in 2026 to 323.50 euros in 2027: 9.10 euros more each month, equal to 109.20 euros in a year. In the case of medium disability, always in the most favorable range, the total would rise from 302.90 to 311.70 euros per month, with an increase of 8.80 euros per month and 105.60 euros per year.
The new amounts, once formalized by INPS, will be applied starting from the month of February 2027. The adjustment relating to January will instead be recognized later, with the payment expected starting from March. The actual increase may therefore vary based on the composition of the household, the number of children, any increases due and above all the ISEE range. In some cases, the simple effect of the revaluation will be limited; in others, the change of band could significantly increase the overall benefit.
