Retirement amount of the public official

Verified 01 September 2026 - Public Service / (Prime Minister)

Would you like to know the amount of your future pension and how it is calculated? We present the general rules for calculating the retirement pension of SRE: titleContent or CNRACL: titleContent.

Please note

If you are contractual, you benefit from a retirement from the Social Security Retirement Insurance as a private sector employee.

Know that it is very difficult to calculate your own retirement pension.

However, you can estimate the amount of your retirement in your personal retirement account on the official Info-retraite website.

This estimate is based on known data from your pension plans.

This service allows you to see the estimated amounts of your various basic and supplementary retirement pensions.

You can view the total amount of your retirement pensions, gross and net before taxes.

You can customize your estimate by changing your starting age or by adding missing periods and additional information (children, disability...):

Estimate the amount of your retirement

The amount of your retirement pension from SRE: titleContent or CNRACL: titleContent shall be calculated as follows:

Last index treatment x 75% x (Your number of liquidatable quarters / Duration of insurance to obtain a full rate pension)

We detail these different parameters that are taken into account to calculate your retirement.

What is the basis for calculating the pension?

Your retirement from SRE: titleContent or CNRACL: titleContent is calculated based on your last index treatment raw held for at least 6 months on the date of your termination of service.

If you have been promoted less than 6 months before your retirement, your previous index salary will be taken into account.

If you are part-time, your pension is calculated based on your full-time index salary.

How long is the insurance required to obtain a full pension?

The length of insurance required to obtain a full pension varies depending on whether you are a sedentary or an active public servant and according to your date of birth :

Reminder

Retirement shall be granted as an active category official provided that he has completed at least 17 years in one or more active category posts.

Since 1er in january 2024, services performed as a contractor in an active category job during the 10 years preceding your tenure are recognized as active services for the acquisition of the right to early departure.

You are entitled to a full-rate pension in particular in the following 2 cases :

  • You retire before the automatic full rate age with the number of quarters required to qualify for a full rate pension. For example, if you are a sedentary public servant born in 1964, you are entitled to a full pension if you retire between 62 years 9 months and 67 years with 170 quarters of insurance
  • You retire at the automatic full rate age, regardless of your number of quarters. For example, if you are a sedentary public servant born in 1964, you are entitled to a full pension if you retire at age 67 regardless of the number of quarters you have.

If you retire before the automatic full rate age without having the number of quarters required to qualify for a full rate pension, the amount of your retirement pension is subject to a haircut, i.e. a reduction.

What is the number of liquidable quarters?

Among the quarters that make up your insurance term, some are taken into account for the calculation of your pension, others not.

The insurance quarters used to calculate your pension are liquidatable quarters.

If you have worked part-time, your part-time work quarters are fully taken into account to calculate your insurance duration.

But when calculating your pension, your part-time quarters are taken into account for their actual working hours unless you have overpaid.

Example :

5 years worked part-time for personal reasons in 80% have 5 years (20 quarters) to calculate your insurance term (i.e. the number of quarters required to qualify for a full-rate pension).

But for the calculation of the amount of your retirement pension, these 5 years part-time to 80% count towards their actual working time, i.e. 4 years (16 quarters), unless you have overpaid.

Of enhancements or increases in the duration of insurance may be added to the liquidatable insurance quarters.

Subsidies and increases in the duration of insurance are additional liquidatable quarters granted free of charge (without contribution in return) depending on certain situations.

The main enhancements are enhancements for children.

You are entitled to a one-year bonus per child for each child born or adopted before 1er January 2004.

You are also entitled to this one-year bonus for the following children if you have taken care of them before 1er January 2004 and if you raised them during at least 9 years before their 21ste birthday :

  • Children from a previous marriage of your spouse
  • Children who have been delegated parental authority on your behalf or on behalf of your spouse
  • Children placed under your guardianship or that of your spouse, if the guardianship was accompanied by effective and permanent custody of the child
  • Children taken into your home if you or your spouse justifies having assumed the effective and permanent responsibility.

To benefit from this one-year increase, you must have temporarily reduced or interrupted your professional activity to take care of the child according to one of the following conditions:

  • Maternity leave or adoption leave
  • Parental Leave
  • Parental Attendance Leave
  • Availability to raise a child under 12 years old
  • Part-time entitlement to raise a child at 50% for a continuous period of at least 4 months
  • Part-time entitlement to raise a child at 60% for a continuous period of at least 5 months
  • Part-time entitlement to raise a child at 70% for a continuous period of at least 7 months.

One one-year increase you are also granted if you complete the following 2 conditions :

  • You gave birth during your years of study, before you were recruited as a civil servant
  • You were recruited into the public service within 2 years of graduating from the competition.

One increase of a quarter is granted for each of your children born since 1er January 2004 and after your recruitment as a civil servant.

If you are a civil servant of active category, you can also benefit from bonuses or increases in the duration of insurance, in particular in the following cases:

  • Increase in the duration of insurance by one year per 10-year period of actual service if you are a hospital official and have completed at least 17 years in one or more active category jobs
  • Increase in the period of insurance by one year for each 10-year period of actual service if you are a civil servant or former civil servant of the Ministry of Defense or the National Institution for Invalids and have completed at least 17 years in one or more active category jobs
  • Enhancement of 50% the time actually spent in the underground sewer networks or in the body of identifiers of the forensic institute of the Paris police prefecture, within the limit of 10 years, if you have completed at least 12 years in the underground networks or in the body of identifiers, including 6 years consecutively
  • Bonus equal to one 5e actual service time as a professional firefighter, up to a maximum of 5 years, if you have completed 17 years as a professional firefighter and 27 years as a civil servant
  • Bonus equal to one 5e actual service time as a national police officer, a customs officer in the surveillance branch, prison administration surveillance staff and an air traffic control engineer, up to a maximum of 5 years.

The amount of your retirement pension may not be less than a minimum amount, called guaranteed minimum.

What are the conditions to qualify for the guaranteed minimum?

You are entitled to the guaranteed minimum if you are in one the following situations:

You must have applied for all your pensions from all the basic and supplementary schemes, French and foreigners, to which you have rights.

What is the amount of the guaranteed minimum?

The amount of the guaranteed minimum varies based on your number of years of service completed as an official:

Répondez aux questions successives et les réponses s’afficheront automatiquement

At least 40 years of service

The monthly amount of the guaranteed minimum is equal to €1,366.35 gross per month.

Between 15 and 39 years of service

The gross monthly amount of the guaranteed minimum shall be calculated as follows:

  • 57.5% x €1,366.35 for the first 15 years of service
  • + 2.5% per additional year of service between 15 and 30 years
  • + 0.5% per additional year between 30 and 39 years.

Example :

For 35 years of service, you are entitled to a guaranteed minimum equal to:

€1,366.35 x (57.5% for the first 15 years + 2.5% x 15 for the next 15 years + 0.5% x 5 for the last 5 years)

either €1,366.35 x 97.5% = €1,332.19 gross per month

Less than 15 years of service

The monthly amount of the guaranteed minimum varies depending on whether you are retired for disability or not (general case).

General scenario

The gross monthly amount of the guaranteed minimum shall be calculated as follows:

(€1,366.35 x number of quarters of the agent) / number of quarters of insurance required to benefit from a full-rate pension

Example :

You are a sedentary public servant, born in 1964, you must have 170 terms to receive a full pension.

If you retire after 13 years of effective service (52 quarters), you are entitled to a guaranteed minimum equal to:

(€1,366.35 x 52) / 170 = €417.94 gross per month

You are retired for disability

The gross monthly amount of the guaranteed minimum shall be calculated as follows:

(€785.65 / 15) x number of years of service

Example :

If you are admitted to retirement for disability after 13 years of effective service, you are entitled to a guaranteed minimum equal to:

(€785.65 / 15) x 13 =€680.89 gross per month

Your retirement pension is subject, unless exempted, to the following contributions:

Your retirement pension is upgraded to 1er January of each year based on the average change in consumer prices excluding tobacco.

Reminder

The revaluation of the civil servant salary index point has no impact on the amount of your retirement pension.
