Le champ des majorations est plus large que celui de la prime. La majoration prévue en faveur des couples monoactifs est, en effet, versée jusqu'à 2,13 SMIC. Elle est intégralement versée, à raison de 500 francs (76,22 euros), jusqu'à 2 SMIC, et fait ensuite l'objet d'une réduction « en biseau » suivant un taux de 5,5%

The example above goes along with the 'times', of the other answers...:0)
