APL (Aide Personnalisée au Logement) is calculated using a formula that considers your rent (capped by zone), a charge allowance of 61 €/month, and your personal contribution based on your income. Since 2021, CAF uses contemporary income assessment: your income is reviewed quarterly.
Charge allowance: 61 €/month. Ceilings rise with household size. See all ceilings
