Notes
2027 amounts (unskilled, skilled, youth; monthly and hourly) are those printed in bill n° 8837 (Tableaux 17 and 18 of the exposé des motifs, index 992.24); they become law only once the Chamber votes the bill. A further index tranche could change amounts if triggered – none announced in sources read.
