The 2026 SMMLV is COP 1,750,905, fixed transitionally by Decree 0159 of 19 February 2026 after the Consejo de Estado provisionally suspended Decree 1469 of 2025, so the threshold is about COP 5,252,715 per month. The SMMLV is reset each year and is currently under litigation, so check the amount in force on the application date.
