Thus, if you are alone and your income amounts to €500, the amount paid under the Asi will be €846.89 – €500 = €346.89 monthly. If your couple’s income is €1,000 per month, the amount received for the 2 people will be: €1,482.98 – €1,000 = €482.98 monthly. Your resources are calculated on your income for the last three months. If they exceed the maximum amount, then those of the last 12 months are taken into account.
