Overview
- INEGI fixed the 2026 UMA at 117.31 pesos per day, with monthly and annual values of 3,566.22 and 42,794.64 pesos.
- The new values take effect on February 1, 2026, prompting agencies, courts, and financial institutions to update UMA‑indexed calculations.
- The increase mirrors the 3.69% year‑over‑year INPC for December 2025 under the legally mandated formula.
- Because obligations are set in UMAs, peso amounts will rise for traffic penalties, government fees, some credits and social‑security caps; a CDMX contingency fine of 20–30 UMAs equates to about 2,346–3,519 pesos.
- Established in 2016 to replace the minimum wage as a legal benchmark, the UMA decouples fines and administrative charges from salary increases.
