The 2008 report set the original budgets, with new research considering household needs from scratch to rebase the budgets in 2012 and 2016 for families with children and in 2014 and 2018 for other household types.

The 2018 report reviewed ten years of change in what society considers a minimum.

How much is enough? An additional report on the qualitative findings of MIS, the rationales for considering things necessities and the process of reaching consensus was published in 2015.
