The activity premium was introduced in 2015 to replace the activity RSA and the employment premium (PPE). It aims to encourage professional activity (employed or self-employed) and to support the purchasing power of the most modest assets.

Students and apprentices can also benefit if they receive a monthly social net amount of more than €1,117.26 or if they are responsible for one or more children alone.

The 2026 Finance Law increases the activity premium on average by €50 per month per beneficiary from 1^er April 2026. Since 1^er april 2025, its lump sum is €633.21 for a single person without dependent children.

Who can collect the activity bonus?

To receive the activity bonus, the following conditions must be met:

be at least 18 years of age;
have a professional activity (employee/civil servant or self-employed);
receive modest income: you cannot benefit from it if your income is over €2,000 net monthly (for a single person), 3 450 € net monthly (for a couple with 2 children of which only one member works).
reside in France in a stable and effective manner.

You are eligible if you are a French national, a national of the European Union, the European Economic Area or Switzerland. Foreign persons holding a valid long-term residence permit may also apply.

How is the amount of the activity bonus calculated?

The amount of the premium is calculated and paid by the family allowance funds (CAF) or the funds of the Mutualité sociale agricole (MSA) if you depend on this plan.

It consists of:

a family member, whose scale is defined according to the composition of the household and the dependent children (the lump sum);
and an individualized part, the amount of which is defined according to the level of income from the activity of the sole beneficiary (the bonus).

Any social benefits received and the housing situation are also taken into account. A surcharge may be applied temporarily for isolated persons.

You can estimate your rights with the CAF simulator.
