CPF: the compulsory flat-rate contribution is upgraded

Publié le 09 janvier 2026 - Public Service / Directorate of Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

You are an employee and you are considering training for professional development? You can use your Personal Training Account (PTC) to partially or fully fund this training. Previously set at €102.23, the flat-rate contribution that remains at your expense has just been slightly increased. This obligation does not apply in some cases. Public Service take stock.

Every person has a personal training account (CPF) from the moment they enter the labor market until they retire.

Indexed to inflation, this compulsory flat-rate contribution has just been upgraded to 1er January 2026. Its amount is fixed at €103.20, as indicated in the order of December 30, 2025, which sets the rate of revaluation of the stake for 2026.

Who is concerned by the compulsory flat-rate contribution?

Active people wishing to finance training with their CPF will have to pay the flat-rate contribution of € 103.20.

However, it does not apply in certain cases:

  • you are a jobseeker;
  • your training is supported by your employer;
  • you wish to mobilize all or part of the points of your prevention professional account (C2P) ;
  • you want to make a conversion and you appeal to the supplement due to a permanent disability of at least 10% (victims of an {circumflex over (a)} or occupational disease).

FYI  

If the CPF does not cover the total cost of the costs, other actors can complete the financing (yourself, your employer, your competence operator, OPCO, the regional council, the departmental council, your town hall, France Travail, etc.).

Additional costs related to training (mobility, transport, meals) are excluded from the coverage.

Reminder

A decree of 29 April 2024 had set new obligations for the use of the CPF as of 2 May 2024. One compulsory flat-rate contribution of €100 had been set up for people wishing to use their personal training account. This amount is indexed to inflation and revalued each year at 1er January by ministerial decree.
