Health indexes 2025 (Wallonia = national, single index for all of Belgium)
The health index is national — no regional variant. For 2025: progression from 135.52 in January to 136.69 in December, that is +0.86%.
Average increase 2025 in Wallonia
Example: Walloon rent of €750, lease signed on 12 August 2021, effective 1 September 2021, indexed on 1 September 2025. Starting index: July 2021 = 112.18; new index: August 2025 = 135.64.
- EPC B (ordinary formula): 750 × 135.64 ÷ 112.18 = €906.85
- EPC D (special method): adapted rent of €852.66 on 1 September 2023 (75% of the increase between €826.89 and €861.25), then 852.66 × 135.64 ÷ 128.82 = €897.80

Verify a 2025 Walloon indexation
If today (in 2026) you need to verify a 2025-applied indexation — for example because the tenant disputes the amount — use the Wallonia calculator. It applies exactly the Statbel indexes published in 2025.
Note: retroactivity for a forgotten indexation is strictly limited to 3 months (art. 57 of the decree of 15 March 2018). A 2025 indexation you discover today can no longer be claimed for the period before the 3 months preceding your request.
