The activity bonus is crucial aid for the French. In 2025, CAF will continue to pay it, and a small increase will be planned.
In 2024, the activity bonus, intended to support workers with modest incomewas revalued to respond to inflation and improve the purchasing power of beneficiaries. And this increase will lead to another in 2025.
The activity bonus revalued in 2024
The fixed amount of the activity bonus has been increased by 4.6% since April 1, 2024. For a single person without children, it thus went from €595.25 to €622.63.
This assistance varies depending on the household composition. For example, a single person with one child can now receive €933.95, while a person with two children receives €1,120.73.
For couples, the fixed amount reaches €933.95 without children, and €1,307.51 with two children. Each additional child or dependent results in an increase of €249.05.
The activity bonus also includes an individual bonus for people with professional income. At least equal to half of a net minimum wage.
Furthermore, single parents, such as pregnant women or lonely people with dependent children, can benefit from a specific increase. Its calculation takes into account several elements.
The fixed amount, adjusted according to the composition of the household, professional income. But also other resourcesas well as any bonuses.
Readjusted aid
Certain social benefits, such as the birth bonus or the allowance back to schoolhowever, are not included in the calculation. The management and payment of this aid is ensured by the Family Allowance Fund (CAF) or the MSA.
Beneficiaries must declare their resources every three months to adjust the amount received. This revaluation is part of a government desire to fight against precariousness and strengthen support to modest workers.
Since 2023, the activity bonus has been indexed to inflation. Which allows a revision regular amounts to adapt to rising prices.
In 2025, the flat rate amount for a single person without children increases to 622.63 euros, compared to 595.25 euros the previous year. Households with several members also benefit from an increase thanks to the adjustments for each child or dependent.
To receive the activity bonus, you must reside in France permanently and have income from an activity. Whether salaried or self-employed.
The resource ceilings vary depending on the composition of the household. For example, a single person without children must have a net monthly income of less than 2,098 euros, or 1.5 times the minimum wage.
The activity bonus in 2025
For the self-employed, the evaluation is based on profits or turnover declared. Students, interns and work-study students can also claim this aid, provided they receive an income greater than 1,104.25 euros net per month.
However, internship bonuses are therefore not considered as income from activity. These rules aim to encourage financial autonomy while supporting young workers in their professional integration.
Single-parent families benefit from a supplement, the increase for isolation. It is therefore intended for parents living alone with one or more children.
This additional, temporary support is added to the traditional activity bonus and makes it possible to compensate for the specific costs linked to these households. Beneficiaries must nevertheless renew their quarterly declaration to confirm their eligibility.
To estimate the exact amount of the activity bonus, applicants can use the simulator available on the CAF website. The income declaration, now quarterly, allows rapid reassessment of rights in the event of change of situation.
In 2025, the activity bonus remains a major lever to fight against precariousness. Its annual revaluation allows the impact of inflation to be better taken into account.
And this, while maintaining rigorous access criteria in order to to preserve fairness. This system continues to support low-income workers by offering financial assistance adapted to their needs.
