Each year, the minimum wage for growth between occupations (SMIC) is increased annually by decree on 1er January, which takes into account inflation developments for the lowest 20 percent of households. Furthermore, each increase of at least 2% in the consumer price index is automatically followed by a corresponding increase in the minimum wage.

In January 2024, it is automatically upgraded by 1.13% to €1,398.69 net. The gross amount rises to €1,766.92. This is specified in a decree of December 20, 2023, raising the minimum growth wage, published in the Official Journal December 21, 2023.
