What are the conditions? How do I get this fuel allowance? Service-Public.fr answers you.

The deadline for claiming the fuel allowance of €100 is extended until the end of March.

Who are the people involved?

The fuel allowance of €100 covers the 50% of the most modest households that need their vehicle (car, two-wheeler, three-wheeler, thermal and/or electric) to get to their place of work, i.e. those in the "first five deciles".

The limit of 5^e decile is one annual reference tax income per share less than € 14 700, which is approximately:

• < € 1 314 net/month for a single person;
• < 3 285 € net/month for a couple with one child;
• < 3 285 € net/month for a single person with two children;
• < € 3 941 net/month for a couple with two children;
• < 5 255 € net/month for a couple with three children.

If there are two workers in the household, it is their combined income.

This allowance is paid per person and not per household. Each member of a modest couple who uses their vehicle to get to their place of work will receive a €100 grant. The couple will therefore be able to benefit from €200 in aid for the purchase of fuel.

For a person who travels on average 12 000 km/year, this represents aid of the order of 10 euro cents per liter over the year.

About 10 million people are affected by this new pump aid.
