Eat inflation for children’s tax advantage but comes the raise

In the previous decade, there were years when we could almost forget the inflation, but after 2021 we regained what we saved at that time. This year, the rise in consumer prices began to rise, which then peaked in the next two years.

This is how wages were kept in the step with inflation

This is how the annual price increase has evolved in recent years.

Inflation values ​​are a 43.3 percent increase in price, so much more is the everyday livelihood now than early 2022. In the meantime, however, salaries have also increased significantly. THE KSH data In January 2022, the gross median wage of full -time employees was HUF 359,311. By March 2025, the same amount was already gross HUF 550,000. That is, the median wage rose 53.1 percent. (This wage data shows how much a truly average employee earns.) If we only consider this, we would see that the average pace of wage increases has been kept with the price increases.

Price rises have devoured the family tax allowance

Even for employees, however, it is true that the salary income of the household is not only dependent on the gross salary. From this point of view, the amount of the family allowance and the amount of family tax allowance available is very important. The amount of the family allowance has been unchanged for two decades, and soon the child who was born when he was last raised on the amount will soon be of legal age. As a result, this was completely devalued.

Instead of this, the second Orbán government introduced the family tax allowance, which was a great help at the start, but only for those who had taxable income. The bigger they were to a border, the more they gained with it. However, inflation gradually struck the true value of the family tax credit, especially from 2021 this effect accelerated dramatically.

THE Bank Monitor They showed a change in the life situation of three families in their exemplary. They assumed that there was no other source of income other than employee salaries and family allowances.

Average four -person Hungarian family

In the example, in a family of four – two children and two adults – adults receive a salary corresponding to median wages. According to the March data data, the gross median wage is 550 thousand HUF. The total income of the family is currently a net of HUF 798,100, along with the tax credit and family allowance.

At the beginning of 2022, the two earners had a salary of the median wage at that time, ie 359,311 forints. Thus, the family’s net income was HUF 544,482.

Thus, in three years, the family’s income increased by 46.6 percent. This exceeds the inflation during this period, but at the same time below the rise in gross median wages. But why didn’t the family income increase according to the gross median wage? Basically, non -discounted net wages have increased according to the increase in gross pay, but the family allowance and family tax allowance did not change, which has drawn the increase in the increase in income.

Mother -in -law of her two children alone

In this example, we look at the situation of the mother who is alone in her two children. The mother’s income was equivalent to the median wage, with a gross of HUF 550,000 in March. This corresponds to a net of HUF 435,350.

According to the gross median wage in early 2022, the net income of the family was HUF 308,541. That is, income increased by 41.1 percent during this period.

The unique mother of two with two children is in a worse position despite a significant increase in gross wages, as her income increases with inflation.

Three -child

In the third example, experts examined the situation of a five -person family – three children and two adults. The adults received a salary corresponding to the median wage, ie gross HUF 550,000 per person. The current income of the family is HUF 878,500.

In January 2022, the gross median wage was HUF 359,311. If both members of the couple received such a salary, they had a net income of HUF 624,882 per month. That is, their salary increased by 40.6 percent over 3 years.

This means that the buying value of the large family’s income has also decreased since the beginning of 2022 due to high inflation.

The growing family tax break improves a lot

The amount of family tax allowance and family allowance has not increased for many years. Therefore, typically, the situation of more children has deteriorated, ie the purchase value of their income has decreased. The income of these families was higher than those of singles, non -children, due to these benefits and subsidies.

However, from July, the situation is changing, as with this starting with several tax breaks The maximum amount of family tax allowance is up to 50 percent. Thus calculating the income of the three families is as follows (assuming that all other factors are unchanged):

1. The average four -person Hungarian family His net salary increases by HUF 20,000 per month, so the net income could be HUF 818,100 per month, which is a 50.3 percent increase compared to January 2022.

2. The mother -in -law of her two children alone His net salary also increases by HUF 20,000, so his net income would be HUF 455,350 per month. This represents a 47.6 percent increase over 3 years.

3. The three -child And its net salary would increase by HUF 49,500, so their monthly net revenue would reach HUF 928,000. This would be a 48.5 percent increase from the beginning of 2022.

Of the new discounts, the 50 percent increase in family tax allowance is enough to increase the increase in the actual salary income of these families from the beginning of 2022. With this, families have not yet received their total tax loss loss, as it has increased significant overall overall since 2022. However, the another 50 percent increase from 2026 will bring this disadvantage, and in many families involved, mothers are already exempt from taxes.

Can be altered by anyone to change their income because A new calculator created for family tax credit is now availablewhich Blikk’s experience is easy to handle and works well.
