|---|---|
| Publication | September 3, 2026 |
| Effective date | January 1, 2026 (retroactive) |
| Affected parties | Companies and workers in the real estate management and mediation sector in Spain |
| Category | Labor Legislation |
| Salary increase | 3% in 2025 and 3% in 2026 |
| BOE Reference | BOE-A-2026-18565 |
Spanish real estate agencies have an immediate obligation: review the payroll of all employees and pay the accumulated salary differences from January 2026. The Parity Commission of the VIII State Collective Agreement for real estate management and mediation companies has definitively set the salary tables for 2025 and 2026, also correcting an error in the previous minutes.
The 3% increase applies in both years because the recorded CPI exceeded the revision threshold: 2.8% in 2025 and 2.9% in 2026. The resolution was published in the BOE on September 3, 2026 with reference BOE-A-2026-18565.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution establishes two things: it corrects a material error in the previous Parity Commission minutes and definitively establishes the salary tables applicable in 2025 and 2026. The 3% increase is activated because the actual CPI exceeded the revision percentage agreed in the collective agreement.
The tables include annual base salaries by professional category and the update of all non-salary items. Below is the complete detail of the published amounts:
| Concept | Amount 2026 |
|---|---|
| Annual base salary — Auxiliaries | €17,073 |
| Annual base salary — Senior technicians | €25,529 |
| Telework compensation | €1.60/day |
| Mileage | €0.32/km |
| Childcare assistance (child under 3 years) | €742.63/child/year |
In addition to base salaries, the following allowances and supplements are updated:
- Versatility allowance
- Responsibility allowance
- Seniority linkage
- Overtime hours
The exact amounts of these allowances are not detailed in the published resolution, but their increase follows the same 3% criterion applied to the rest of the collective agreement items.
Economic and operational impact
The most immediate impact is the payment of retroactive arrears. If the company has been paying 2026 salaries without applying the 3% increase, it must calculate the difference month by month from January 2026 and pay it in the next payroll or in an extraordinary payment.
For an employee with an auxiliary base salary (€17,073 annually in 2026), the increase compared to the previous year amounts to approximately €497 gross additional per year. For a senior technician (€25,529), the difference amounts to about €744 gross annually. These amounts are multiplied by each month of accumulated arrears.
At the operational level, companies must also review:
- The daily amount of telework compensation, which is set at €1.60/day in 2026.
- The mileage, updated to €0.32/km.
- The childcare assistance, which amounts to €742.63 per child under 3 years old.
- The versatility, responsibility, seniority allowances and overtime hours, which also increase by 3%.
Who does it affect?
- Real estate management companies with workers under the VIII State Collective Agreement of the sector.
- Real estate agencies and mediators with salaried staff in Spain.
- HR and payroll departments that must recalculate compensation and arrears.
- Labor advisors and management firms that handle payroll for real estate sector companies.
- Workers in the sector, from auxiliaries to senior technicians, who have the right to receive corresponding arrears.
Practical example
A real estate agency with 5 employees —3 auxiliaries and 2 senior technicians— that has been paying 2026 salaries without applying the 3% increase must calculate arrears as follows:
| Category | Base salary 2026 | Annual difference (3%) | No. employees | Total arrears (8 months) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Auxiliary | €17,073 | ~€497/year | 3 | ~€994 |
| Senior technician | €25,529 | ~€744/year | 2 | ~€992 |
| Total company | — | — | 5 | ~€1,986 |
To this must be added the arrears in allowances (versatility, responsibility, seniority, overtime) and adjustments in mileage and telework if employees receive them. A company that does not regularize these differences is exposed to individual labor claims and labor inspections.
What should companies do now?
- Verify if the agreement applies to your company: Check that your employees are classified under the VIII State Collective Agreement for real estate management and mediation.
- Calculate arrears from January 2026: Determine the difference between the salary paid and the correct salary with the 3% increase, month by month, for each employee.
- Update all compensation items: Not just the base salary — also review versatility allowances, responsibility, seniority, overtime hours, telework (€1.60/day), mileage (€0.32/km) and childcare assistance (€742.63/child).
- Pay arrears in the next payroll or extraordinary payment: Document the concept clearly on the salary receipt to avoid future disputes.
- Apply the 2025 tables if not done at the time: The resolution also rectifies and confirms the 2025 tables, so it is advisable to verify that this year was correctly settled.
- Coordinate with labor advisory: If you outsource payroll management, urgently communicate the change so it is applied in the next payroll cycle.

The increase is 3% in 2026, as it was in 2025. This percentage applies because the recorded CPI (2.9% in 2026 and 2.8% in 2025) exceeded the revision threshold agreed in the VIII State Collective Agreement for real estate management and mediation.

What happens if a real estate agency does not pay the 2026 agreement arrears?
