Every year, the canton of Geneva revises the health insurance subsidy to reflect rising LAMal premiums. For 2026, the amounts increase significantly and the income thresholds are updated. Here is what changes and what it means for you.
In 2026, the subsidy reaches CHF 348 per month for an adult in the most favourable group, CHF 231 for a young adult (born between 2001 and 2007) and CHF 132 per dependent child. Compared with 2025, that is around +8.7% for adults, +5.3% for young adults and +10.9% for children. Each household member can receive their own subsidy. See the full breakdown on our amount and scale 2026 page.
Your entitlement depends on your unified determining income (RDU) and your family situation. The 2026 entry thresholds start at CHF 30,000 for a single person and CHF 45,000 for a couple without children, with an extra CHF 6,000 per dependent child. Check the eligibility conditions.
If your income has dropped, if you have just arrived, or if you have never applied, do not assume you are not entitled: a large share of the Geneva population is eligible without knowing. The easiest first step is to estimate your subsidy in 2 minutes, then get free support to file your file.
