The Measurement and Update Unit (UMA) is an economic reference that was created in 2016 to replace the Minimum Wage (SM) scheme. Its creation responded to the need to dissociate increases in the minimum wage from other fiscal obligations, such as the payment of taxes, fines and mortgage loans, which were previously calculated based on this indicator.
The UMA is used to determine the amount of various obligations provided for in federal and state laws and legal provisions. Its value is updated annually and affects areas such as taxes, fines, mortgage loans, social security benefits and government procedures.
Value of the UMA for 2025
The National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) announced that the value of ONE per 2025 will increase by 4.21% compared to the previous year, due to the increase in the National Consumer Price Index (INPC). The updated value is detailed below:

The monthly calculation of the UMA is obtained by multiplying its daily value by 30.4, while its annual value results from multiplying the monthly value by 12.
Consequences of the increase in the UMA
With the increase in the UMA, the prices of various procedures, services and fines are updated. For example, the fines calculated in UMA will now be higher, and payments related to government procedures or mortgage loans linked to the UMA will also increase. Therefore, it is essential that both companies and individuals consider this adjustment in their financial planning to avoid surprises in the fulfillment of their obligations.
