New UMA Value for 2025

The UMA Value for 2025 has changed, impacting payroll, taxes, and employee benefits in Mexico. Employers must adjust calculations for social security, tax deductions, and severance pay. Staying compliant with these updates is crucial for avoiding penalties and managing labor costs effectively.

Updated UMA Value for 2025

As of February 1, 2025, the new UMA Value for 2025 is:

  • Daily UMA: MXN 113.14

  • Monthly UMA: MXN 3,439.46

  • Annual UMA: MXN 41,273.52

Employers must update payroll systems to reflect these values. Payroll taxes, social security contributions (IMSS), and INFONAVIT housing loans use the UMA as a reference. Accurate payroll calculations ensure compliance with Mexican labor laws.

📌 Why Does the UMA Value Matter?

The UMA Value for 2025 affects several key areas:

  • Social security contributions (IMSS, INFONAVIT, and retirement plans)

  • Payroll tax exemptions and deductions

  • Fines, penalties, and severance calculations

  • Wage caps for benefits and government subsidies

💡 Pro Tip: Employers should review all employee contracts and benefit plans that use UMA-based calculations.

How the 2025 UMA Update Affects Employers

Employers must adjust payroll systems to align with the UMA Value for 2025. Errors in calculations can lead to non-compliance and unexpected costs. Here’s what companies need to do:

  1. Update Payroll Software: Ensure payroll systems use the latest UMA values for tax and benefits calculations.
  2. Review Employee Benefits: Adjust social security contributions, INFONAVIT payments, and severance pay to comply with UMA 2025.
  3. Monitor Legal Updates: Stay informed about labor law changes linked to UMA adjustments.

Financial Impact of the UMA Value for 2025

The UMA increase will affect employer costs in several ways:

  1. Higher Social Security Contributions: Employers must contribute more to IMSS, INFONAVIT, and AFORE (retirement funds).
  2. Increased Payroll Taxes: Deductions based on UMA will change, affecting net salaries and total payroll expenses.
