Home › Geneva subsidy amount and scale 2026
How much do you actually get? Here is the canton of Geneva's official 2026 scale, group by group: monthly amounts per adult, young adult and child, and the income ceilings (RDU) that determine your entitlement.
🔒 Indicative 2026 figures, source ge.ch · The final decision rests with the SAM.
The Geneva health insurance subsidy is not a flat amount: it depends on your unified determining income (RDU), your family situation and your age. The canton places every insured person in one of 9 income groups: the lower your group (lower RDU), the higher the subsidy. Geneva is a single premium region, so amounts are identical across every municipality in the canton.
These are the amounts paid each month, per person, under the official 2026 scale. Within a household, each member (adult, young adult, child) can receive their own subsidy.
| Income group (RDU) | Adult (26+) | Young adult (born 2001–2007) | Dependent child |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | 348 CHF | 231 CHF | 132 CHF |
| Group 2 | 294 CHF | 231 CHF | 132 CHF |
| Group 3 | 240 CHF | 231 CHF | 132 CHF |
| Group 4 | 196 CHF | 231 CHF | 132 CHF |
| Group 5 | 164 CHF | 231 CHF | 132 CHF |
| Group 6 | 120 CHF | 231 CHF | 132 CHF |
| Group 7 | 87 CHF | 231 CHF | 132 CHF |
| Group 8 | 55 CHF | 231 CHF | 132 CHF |
| Group 9 (households with children) | 0 CHF | 106 CHF | 67 CHF |
Monthly subsidy per person, deducted directly from the LAMal premium. Group 9 only concerns households with children. 2026 figures · source: ge.ch.
Your group depends on your annual RDU and your family situation. The table below shows the maximum income (per year) to belong to each group. Above the last ceiling, there is in principle no further entitlement.
| Group | Single person | Couple, no children | Household with child(ren)* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | 30,000 CHF | 45,000 CHF | 45,000 CHF |
| Group 2 | 35,000 CHF | 55,000 CHF | 55,000 CHF |
| Group 3 | 37,500 CHF | 65,000 CHF | 65,000 CHF |
| Group 4 | 40,000 CHF | 75,000 CHF | 75,000 CHF |
| Group 5 | 42,500 CHF | 85,000 CHF | 85,000 CHF |
| Group 6 | 45,000 CHF | 95,000 CHF | 95,000 CHF |
| Group 7 | 47,500 CHF | 105,000 CHF | 105,000 CHF |
| Group 8 | 50,000 CHF | 115,000 CHF | 115,000 CHF |
| Group 9 | - | - | 145,000 CHF |
Annual RDU up to this ceiling to belong to the group. *Couple base, raised by CHF 6,000 per dependent child. A share of your wealth (1/15) is added to the RDU. Indicative 2026 thresholds · source: ge.ch.
The RDU (unified determining income) is based on your latest tax assessment, plus a fraction of your wealth (about 1/15). It is therefore not exactly your gross salary. If your income has dropped (job loss, separation, retirement), a mid-year review is possible. People taxed at source and cross-border workers under the right of option may also be concerned.
Subsidies are indexed each year to the change in the average premium. For 2026 in Geneva, amounts rose by about +8.7% for adults, +5.3% for young adults and +10.9% for children compared with 2025. The adult ceiling thus reaches CHF 348/month.
The subsidy reduces your LAMal premium, within the limit of the cantonal reference premium. Recipients of social assistance (RI) or supplementary benefits (PC) are automatically entitled to the maximum subsidy, with immediate effect. For everyone else, the amount depends on the RDU group shown above.
