The calculation of the variation in real terms is made using the variation in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as a reference.

Last year, regular gross monthly pay – which does not include holiday and Christmas bonuses, and is therefore less seasonal – was 1,294 euros, representing a nominal and real increase of 6.4% and 3.9% respectively, compared to comparable increases of 6.6% and 2.2% in the previous year.

Also in the year under analysis, the monthly gross base remuneration was €1,213 (a nominal increase of 6.2% and a real increase of 3.7%, which compares with increases of 6.8% and 2.4%, respectively, in 2023).

In 2024, the CPI had a positive variation of 2.4% and had been 4.3% in 2023.
