Cuánto subiría el auxilio de transporte con el posible aumento de dos dígitos del salario mínimo para 2026

TL;DR

  • The legal deadline for agreeing on Colombia's 2026 minimum wage has passed without consensus between employers and unions.
  • The Colombian government is expected to decree the minimum wage and the transportation allowance before December 30th.
  • A potential 11% increase in the minimum wage could also raise the transportation allowance to approximately $224,000 pesos monthly.
  • If the minimum wage increases by 12%, total monthly income including the allowance could reach around $1'818,320 pesos.
  • These increases are intended to boost workers' purchasing power and compensate for higher daily travel costs.
  • The transportation allowance is a mandatory benefit for employees earning up to two minimum wages to cover work-related travel expenses.
