Pay slip, what is due to those who earn 500 euros a month

Having a job is not always a guarantee of self-support: think for example of those who work part-time, thus not being able to earn enough to get to the end of the month without worries. Without forgetting then there are sectors in which people are still underpaid: let’s think about those workers who still are discovered by collective bargainingor who is employed in a sector in which a Ccnl “pirate”signed by smaller trade unions at much less favorable conditions than those more applied.

Unfortunately, therefore, it is not so rare to come across people who earn approx 500 euros net per month, a minimum amount which alone is certainly not enough to raise a family or in any case to go and live alone. Suffice it to say that 500 euros is the basic amount of the citizen’s income, a figure that is even exceeded by the social allowance that the INPS recognizes upon reaching the age of 67 to people who are in a state of economic need.

In this regard, it is legitimate to ask – especially in light of the latest news of the 2024 budget law with which various bonuses have been introduced (or confirmed) in the pay slip – what is due to those who earn 500 euros a monthas well as whether there are other forms of support to supplement the income received.

Paycheck bonus for those who earn 500 euros a month

First of all, it should be specified that with a salary of 500 euros per month Irpef is not paidsince you are within the no tax area: within a threshold of 8,174 euros per yearIn fact, the tax due is completely canceled out by employee deductions.

This represents good news as it means that only the contribution rates apply to the gross salary (also reduced in 2023 as well as in 2024), with the gross therefore being very similar to the net.

However, there is not only good news: the fact that you do not pay Irpef, which means that you are incapableprecludes the payment of the supplementary treatment – ex Renzi bonus – worth 100 euros per month.

Therefore, the only bonus that applies to a salary of 500 euros is the one resulting from the contribution relief, with which the contribution rate payable by the worker is lowered from 9.19% to 2,19%. This means that if previously on a gross salary of 550 euros you paid around 50 euros in contributions, thus arriving at a net of 500 euros, thanks to the application of the relief you will pay around 12 eurowith the net salary that rises to 538 euros.

Thanks to the contribution relief, a salary that was previously 500 euros net should now have risen by around 38 euros: remember that it should have been like this for months, as the relief has been applied to this extent since last July. There will be no differences even with the transition to the new year, given that the latest budget law will confirmed for the whole of 2024 (with the sole exclusion of the thirteenth month’s salary).

What help can be requested with a salary of 500 euros

There is no targeted aid for those with a net salary of 500 euros; however, since it is a very low amount, there is a good chance that it will fall within the threshold that gives access to a series of benefits, especially in the case ofsole source of income of the family unit.

In detail, who earns 500 euro – and for this reason it is presumed that he has a very low ISEE – and lives in a large family in which there is no other income, he can apply for Citizenship Income (expiring on 31 December 2023) or the Inclusion Allowance starting from next year (but only if there is at least one disabled, minor or over-sixty member in the household).

Anyone who earns 500 euros a month, with an annual income of 6,000 euros, receives a monthly income supplement equal to 200 euro for any other adult member, 100 euros for minorsin addition to reimbursement for any rent up to a maximum of 280 euros per month.

The case ofInclusion allowancewhere the increase of 200 euro it is only valid in the presence of adults who are burdened with care (minors or disabled) or those over sixty. Instead, there is an increase of 250 euro in the presence of disabled people. In the case of minor children, however, the supplement is no more than 100 euros, but rather 75 euro for children under 3 years old, 50 euro for those who exceed this threshold. The reimbursement of the rent up to 280 euros per month is confirmed.

In the presence of dependent children, the single allowance is also due which with an ISEE of less than 16,215 euros is equal to 189,20 euro for each minor, with the addition of a series of increases.

It is also important to underline that with an annual income that does not exceed 8,145 euros you can still be registered as unemployed at the job centre. This, for example, gives the right to exemption from the healthcare copay which is due to unemployed people with a family income of less than 8.263,31 euro (increased to 11,362.65 in the presence of the spouse, and a further 516.46 euros for each dependent child).
