The annual update of the IAS in Portugal is governed by relevant law, which considers inflation (CPI without housing) and GDP growth. For 2026, a 2.80% adjustment rate was determined, resulting in a new IAS of €537.13, up from €522.50 in 2025.
The IAS is a key reference point used in the calculation of unemployment benefits, minimum income support, family allowances, pension supplements, and other social support measures.
Conclusion
This update of the IAS reflects Portugal’s annual adjustment of social support parameters in line with economic conditions. It has wide implications for employers, accountants and individuals regarding social contributions and benefits.
