Existenční minimum — the lowest income level that the state recognizes as the minimum for survival. It is lower than životní minimum (standard of living minimum).
Amount
- 3,130 CZK
Where this is felt in practice
Most noticeably — in the humanitární dávka (humanitarian benefit): from the 6th month, a working adult receives not 4,860 CZK (ŽM), but 3,130 CZK — this is the existenční minimum.
Who is not affected by the drop
Vulnerable individuals — children under 18, pregnant women, people 65+, people with disabilities — remain at 4,860 CZK. Having just one of these conditions is enough.
