Assegno Unico 2026 Calculator
Estimate the monthly amount of the INPS assegno unico universale (universal child allowance) based on ISEE, number and age of children
Estimate based on the 2026 table of amounts, supplements and ISEE brackets attached to INPS circular no. 7 of 30 January 2026 (revaluation +1.4%): base amount per child under 18 from €203.80 (ISEE up to €17,468.51) to €58.30 (ISEE from €46,582.71 upwards or no ISEE), children aged 18-20 from €99.10 to €29.10. INPS applies the ISEE for family benefits net of the assegno unico already received: if your ISEE includes it, the actual amount may be slightly higher. For adult children with disabilities and special cases (foster care, separated parents, orphans) refer to INPS. Informational tool: the actual amount is determined by INPS based on the application.

Assegno unico 2026 calculator: how it works
The assegno unico e universale (AUU, single universal child allowance) is the monthly financial support paid by INPS (the Italian social security institute) to families with dependent children: it is due from the seventh month of pregnancy until the child turns 18 (and up to 21 under specific conditions, with no age limit for children with disabilities). This free tool estimates the monthly and annual amount for your household using the 2026 amounts from the table attached to INPS circular no. 7 of 30 January 2026, which revalued amounts and ISEE thresholds by +1.4% (ISTAT index). The calculation takes place entirely in your browser.
Assegno unico amounts for 2026
The amount depends on the household ISEE (Italian indicator of household economic situation) and on the children's age. The monthly base amount for each child:
| Child | ISEE up to €17,468.51 | ISEE from €46,582.71 or none |
|---|---|---|
| Under 18 | €203.80 | €58.30 |
| 18-20 years (dependent) | €99.10 | €29.10 |
Between the two thresholds the amount decreases progressively as ISEE rises: the INPS table divides the range into 250 brackets of about 116 euros each, and the calculator uses exactly the same values, bracket by bracket. Children aged 18 to 20 count if they are studying, doing an internship or a job with income below 8,000 euros a year, are registered as unemployed at job centres, or are doing universal civil service.
Without a valid ISEE, INPS pays the minimum amounts: if you submit the DSU (single self-declaration) by 30 June, the amounts are recalculated from March with payment of arrears.
2026 supplements
- Children beyond the second: from €99.10 to €17.40 extra for each child from the third onwards, depending on ISEE.
- Households with 4 or more children: flat amount of €150 per month for the whole household.
- Children under 1: base amount increased by 50% until the first birthday.
- Children aged 1-3: base amount +50% for households with at least 3 children and ISEE up to €46,582.71.
- Both parents working: up to €34.90 extra for each child under 18; the amount decreases as ISEE rises and drops to zero in the last bracket, from €46,466.27.
- Mother under 21: €23.30 extra for each child, regardless of ISEE.
- Children with disabilities: €99.10 (moderate disability), €110.60 (severe) or €122.30 (non-self-sufficiency) extra per month up to age 21, with no ISEE limits.
Calculation example
A family with an ISEE of €25,000, three children under 18 (one aged 2) and both parents working falls into the ISEE bracket from €24,921.76 to €25,038.21, where the base amount is €165.90 per child:
| Item | Calculation | Monthly amount |
|---|---|---|
| Base amount, two children | 2 × €165.90 | €331.80 |
| Base amount for the 2-year-old (+50%) | €165.90 × 1.5 | €248.85 |
| Supplement for the third child | 1 × €77.80 | €77.80 |
| Both parents working | 3 × €25.90 | €77.70 |
| Total | €736.15 |
The estimated allowance is therefore €736.15 per month, equal to €8,833.80 per year. The +50% for the 2-year-old applies because the household has three children and an ISEE up to €46,582.71.
How to use the calculator
Enter the household ISEE (leave empty if you don't have one: you will see the minimum amounts), the number of dependent children under 18 and aged 18-20, how many are under 1 or between 1 and 3, any disability and the parents' circumstances. Figures are entered in Italian format, for example 17.468,51. The result shows the estimated monthly total, the ISEE bracket used and the breakdown of each item.
Which ISEE counts in 2026
From the March 2026 payment, the amount is calculated with the new ISEE for family benefits and inclusion introduced by the 2026 budget law: the exemption on the main home rises to €91,500 (€120,000 in the capital municipalities of metropolitan cities), with €2,500 more for each cohabiting child after the first, and the equivalence scale grants higher increases to households with two or more children. The January and February 2026 payments are still calculated with the ISEE valid on 31 December 2025, while the January adjustments are paid from March. INPS also deducts from the ISEE the assegno unico already received by the household before applying the brackets.
What this estimate does not cover
The simulator covers the most common cases. For adult children with disabilities (who have dedicated rules and amounts and no age limit), households with separated parents, foster care and orphans, the amount should be checked with INPS or a patronato (welfare assistance office). Disability supplements are applied only to children under 18, and the working-parents supplement only when both work (the law also grants it to the sole working parent if the other has died, for a maximum of five years). The actual amount is always determined by INPS at the application stage.
Frequently asked questions
How much is the assegno unico in 2026?
For each child under 18, the base amount ranges from 203.80 euros per month (ISEE up to 17,468.51 euros) to 58.30 euros (ISEE from 46,582.71 euros upwards or no ISEE). For dependent children aged 18 to 20 it ranges from 99.10 to 29.10 euros. The 2026 amounts were revalued by +1.4% with INPS circular no. 7 of 30 January 2026, and any supplements are added (children beyond the second, disability, both parents working, mother under 21, large families).
What happens if I don't submit the ISEE?
Without a valid ISEE, INPS pays the assegno unico at the minimum amounts (58.30 euros per child under 18 in 2026). If you submit the DSU by 30 June, the amounts are recalculated from March with payment of arrears. It is therefore advisable to renew your ISEE at the beginning of the year.
What supplements does the 2026 assegno unico provide?
The main ones: from 99.10 to 17.40 euros for each child beyond the second; a flat 150 euros per month for households with at least 4 children; +50% of the base amount for children under 1; +50% for children aged 1-3 in households with at least 3 children and ISEE up to 46,582.71 euros; up to 34.90 euros per child under 18 if both parents work; 23.30 euros per child if the mother is under 21; from 99.10 to 122.30 euros for children with disabilities up to age 21, with no ISEE limits.
Do I have to reapply for the assegno unico every year?
No. Applications with "accepted" status remain valid for subsequent years too: INPS pays the allowance automatically and applies the revalued amounts. You do, however, need to update the application in case of changes (birth of a child, a child turning 18) and renew your ISEE every year to receive the full amount.
