The family allowance is a significant financial support for families in Austria. Around two million children benefit monthly from the state benefit, which will be increased by 4.6 percent in 2025.
The family allowance is paid out by the Family Burdens Equalisation Fund (FLAF) and is a central social benefit for families. It is transferred monthly to parents whose children meet the corresponding requirements. The financial support is typically paid out from the 6th of each month. If this day falls on a weekend or a holiday, the date may be shifted.
From January 1, 2025, the family allowance will increase by 4.6 percent. Per child, there will be up to 3,255 euros in the coming year, depending on the age of the child. In addition, the child tax credit, which is transferred together with the family allowance, will be increased to 70.90 euros. How much more money one will receive in the coming year is shown by the family allowance calculator from finanz.at:
