My wages are going to be seized
The part that does not exceed the national minimum wage cannot be seized; the rest is seized in bands.
What can never be seized
The part of your salary that does not exceed the national minimum wage (salario mínimo interprofesional).
«Es inembargable el salario, sueldo, pensión, retribución o su equivalente, que no exceda de la cuantía señalada para el salario mínimo interprofesional.»
How much of the rest can be seized
In bands of the minimum wage: 30 % of the first band above it, up to twice the minimum wage; higher percentages for the following bands. Different rules may apply depending on the type of debt.
«Los salarios, sueldos, jornales, retribuciones o pensiones que sean superiores al salario mínimo interprofesional se embargarán conforme a esta escala: 1.º Para la primera cuantía adicional hasta la que suponga el importe del doble del salario mínimo interprofesional, el 30 por 100.»
