The Tallinn City Government has decided to increase several social benefit rates from January 1, 2024. In response to the rising cost of living, the city is raising the income threshold to 360 euros and the financial support for the beginning of the academic year from the second grade to 100 euros. Additionally, benefits for children with disabilities and pension supplements will also see an increase.

For the upcoming year, Tallinn's budget allocates nearly 396 million euros for educational operations, representing almost 41% of the total operating costs. The primary focuses include the transition to Estonian-language education, increased investment, and raising the minimum wage for teachers.

The Tallinn City Government established a care cost limit of 734 euros for general care services and a limit of 70 euros per month for exempting a relative of a service recipient with a lower income from the obligation to pay. This means that as of 1 July, recipients of the service will receive compensation of up to 734 euros for the cost of their nursing home spot and their relatives will be exempted from their co-payment obligation for up to 705 euros.
