Family allowances are part of the aid paid by the State to help certain families with the maintenance and education of children. Like certain CAF aid, the conditions for receiving this benefit have been slightly adjusted this year. Here’s what you can expect for 2025.
The resource ceilings were increased by 4.8%
Remember that family allowances are intended for families with at least two dependent children under the age of 20. To benefit from it, you must respect a certain number of criteria, including family resources, which play a determining role.
Indeed, there are resource ceilings that must be respected to receive this social benefit. And like every year, CAF carries out a revaluation of these income thresholds for most of its benefits, and family allowances are no exception.
According to MoneyVoxfor this year, it is the income of 2023 which will be taken into account to determine the income threshold necessary to benefit from this assistance. Thus, the ceilings were subject to a increase of 4.8%.

According to information from MoneyVoxpour a family with two children dependent, the resource ceilings are less than or equal to €78,565. The second tranche concerns people with income less than or equal to €104,719. And the last tranche applies to income greater than €104,719.
Pour a family with three childrenthe thresholds for receiving family allowances are slightly higher. The first tranche includes income less than or equal to €85,111. The second tranche covers income less than or equal to €111,265and the third applies to income exceeding €111,265.
Pour a family of four childrenthe ceiling for the first tranche is less than or equal to €91,657. Income less than or equal to €117,811 fall into the second bracket. And the income greater than €117,811 are part of the third tranche.
Beyond four children, the ceiling is calculated by adding €6,546 per child, always according to MoneyVox. Thus, for a family with five children, the limit of the first tranche increases to €98,203 (91,657 + 6,546).
What about the amounts?
The amount of family allowances depends on the number of dependent children and the family’s income. As indicated by our colleagues from Money Voxthe amounts from the previous year remain in force until March 31, 2025.

Thus, a family with two children and whose income is in the first bracket currently receives €148.52 per month. For the second tranche, the amount is €74.26. And as for the third tranche, the amount is €37.14 per month.
Remember that for each child over 14 years old, a family obtains an increase according to its income bracket. For those in the third bracket for example, the supplement is €18.57. For the second tranche, the increase is €37.14.
Thus, it is possible that family allowances will be subject to an increase from the month of April. So stay tuned for announcements and updates to be aware of any changes.
