The Government of Spain approved Royal Decree-Law 3/2026, which guarantees the revaluation of public Social Security pensions. In this way, permanent disability pensions will maintain the 2.7% increase that corresponds to the average value of the CPI for the twelve months prior to December 2025.
This update seeks to maintain the purchasing power of pensioners, as required by article 58 of the General Social Security Law. Now, as is the case with retirement, minimum pensions will have an increase of 7%, which are detailed in Annex I of this Royal Decree.
On the other hand, the maximum pension in 2026 is set at 3,359.60 euros per month. In addition, the supplement for reducing the gender gap is updated, which this year will be 36.90 euros per month. Given the new minimum and maximum amounts, the question for many is: How exactly do the minimum amounts look depending on the degree of disability and the family situation?
Minimum contributory permanent disability pensions in 2026
For the year 2026, the minimum amounts vary depending on the degree of disability (Great Disability, Absolute, Total or Partial) and the age of the beneficiary. In the case of Great Disability, which includes the supplement for those who need a third person for the most basic acts of life, the minimum amount with a dependent spouse amounts to 26,385.80 euros per year. If you do not have a spouse (single-person economic unit), the figure is 19,660.20 euros, and with a non-dependent spouse it is 18,662.00 euros.
For Absolute Permanent Disability for any type of profession, the amounts are equivalent to those for retirement at age 65: 17,592.40 euros per year with a dependent spouse and 13,106.80 euros for single-person units.
The following table details the complete annual amounts according to the type of pension:
| Permanent Disability Pension | With dependent spouse (Euros/year) | Without spouse: Single-person economic unit (Euros/year) | With non-dependent spouse (Euros/year) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Great Disability | €26,385.80 | €19,660.20 | €18,662.00 |
| Absolute | €17,592.40 | €13,106.80 | €12,441.80 |
| Total (Owner aged 65) | €17,592.40 | €13,106.80 | €12,441.80 |
| Total (Age between 60 and 64 years) | €17,592.40 | €12,262.60 | €11,590.60 |
| Total (Common disease, under 60 years old) | €9,662.80 | €9,662.80 | |
| €9,580.20 | Partial (Accident regime, 65 years) | €17,592.40 | €13,106.80 |
€12,441.80
It should be taken into account that in the case of total disability derived from a common illness for those under 60 years of age, the rule unifies the amount with a dependent spouse and the single person at 9,662.80 euros.
| Below, these are the monthly amounts if it were collected in 14 payments (remembering that pensions derived from work accidents or occupational illnesses are collected in 12 payments). | Permanent Disability | With dependent spouse (Euros/month) | Without spouse: Single-person economic unit (Euros/month) |
|---|---|---|---|
| With non-dependent spouse (Euros/month) | Great Disability | €1,884.70 | €1,404.30 |
| €1,333.00 | Absolute | €1,256.60 | €936.20 |
| €888.70 | Total (60-64 years) | €1,256.60 | €875.90 |
| €827.90 | Total (<60 years, common disease) | €690.20 | €690.20 |
€684.30
To access these minimum supplements (in the event that the resulting pension is less than the minimum), Royal Decree-Law 3/2026 explains that the pensioner’s annual income cannot exceed 9,442.00 euros if he does not have a dependent spouse, or 11,013.00 euros if he does.
