Social Integration Income (RSI) Calculator

How much Social Integration Income (RSI) could you receive? This calculator estimates the monthly RSI from your household composition (adults and minors) and the income the household already has. RSI is the difference between a maximum amount, which grows with the household, and the household’s monthly income.

Enter the number of adults (including the holder), the number of minors and the whole household’s monthly income. The calculator adds the reference value per person (100% / 70% / 50%) and subtracts the income. 2026 national figures.

What RSI is and who can claim it

The Rendimento Social de Inserção (RSI), or Social Integration Income, is a monthly benefit from Portugal’s Social Security for people and families in poverty, combining a cash payment with an integration programme. It can be claimed by those with very low income who reside legally in Portugal, are 18 or older (with exceptions) and meet the means test (income and assets limits). This calculator estimates the benefit assuming the household meets the access conditions.

How it is calculated

First you work out the household’s maximum RSI by adding the reference value for each person: 100% for the first adult, 70% for each additional adult and 50% for each minor. The RSI you receive is the difference between that maximum and the household’s monthly income. As a formula: RSI = household maximum − household monthly income. If income already equals or exceeds the maximum, there is no benefit to pay.

The 2026 figures

In 2026 the RSI reference value (the first adult’s amount) is €247.56, set by Portaria no. 71/2026/1 and equal to 46.09% of the Social Support Index (IAS). The equivalence scale is fixed in law: each additional adult is worth €173.29 (70%) and each minor €123.78 (50%). The value is national and is paid 12 times a year.

Worked example

A household of 2 adults and 1 minor: the maximum RSI is €247.56 (first adult) + €173.29 (second adult, 70%) + €123.78 (one minor, 50%) = €544.63. If the household has monthly income of €350, the RSI to receive is €544.63 − €350 = €194.63 a month. With no income at all it would receive the full €544.63; if it already earned €550 it would not qualify (income exceeds the maximum).

Frequently asked questions

What is the Social Integration Income (RSI)?
It is a benefit from Portugal’s Social Security that pairs a monthly cash payment with an integration programme (employment, training, health, education). It is for people and families facing severe economic hardship and aims to guarantee a minimum income while working towards self-sufficiency.
What is the RSI amount in 2026?
The reference value (the first adult’s amount) is €247.56 in 2026, equal to 46.09% of the IAS. Each additional adult in the household adds €173.29 (70%) and each minor €123.78 (50%). That total is the household maximum.
How is the amount you receive calculated?
You add the reference value for each member of the household (100% for the first adult, 70% per additional adult, 50% per minor) to get the maximum. The RSI received is the difference between that maximum and the household’s monthly income. The higher the household’s own income, the lower the benefit.
What is the household equivalence scale?
The first adult counts as 100% of the reference value; each additional adult counts as 70%; each minor counts as 50%. This scale is what makes the maximum grow with the number of people in the household.
Which income counts for RSI?
The monthly income of the whole household counts (wages, pensions, other benefits and income from capital or assets). Social Security applies its own rules: some income may be only partly counted and there is an assets limit. This calculator uses the income you enter as a reference, so the real amount may differ.
Does this calculator decide whether I qualify for RSI?
No. It only estimates the benefit amount assuming the household meets the access conditions. The decision on entitlement, the exact counting of income and assets and the integration contract are all up to Social Security.
