Indicial treatment in the public service

Verified 01 January 2026 - Public Service / Directorate of Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

If you are a public official, your remuneration includes index treatment (also known as basic processing) calculated on the basis of an increased index.

We present you the regulations whether you are a civil servant or a contractor.

Public servant

Your remuneration consists in particular of index treatment (also called basic processing).

Your index treatment depends on your grade and step that you hold in that rank.

Each grade comprises a number of steps fixed by decree.

A gross index (IB) corresponds to each step.

To each raw index, corresponds an index increased (IM) according to a scale defined by decree.

Gross indices range from 100 to 1,027. The increased indices range from 208 to 835.

This is the index plus (IM) used to calculate your index treatment.

Your index treatment is increased by 25% if you are a State official or a hospital official assigned to one of the following overseas territories:

  • Guadeloupe
  • French Guiana
  • Martinique
  • The Meeting
  • Saint Bartholomew's
  • Saint Martin
  • Saint Pierre and Miquelon.

Your index treatment is increased by 40% if you are a public servant or hospital worker assigned to Mayotte.

FYI  

Certain senior management grades (referred to as A+) comprise steps whose index treatment is higher than that of the increased index 835. To each of these levels corresponds a group and possibly a chevron. Each chevron of each group corresponds to one annual gross salary amount set by regulation. These treatments are called off-scale.

Gross index treatment is calculated based on value of annual gross index salary corresponding to the index plus 100.

This value is fixed by decree.

Since 1er in july 2023, the value of the gross annual index salary of the index plus 100 is set at €5,907.34.

Your gross index treatment annual shall be calculated as follows:

Your index increased x Annual value of gross index treatment corresponding to MI 100 / 100

Your gross index treatment monthly is equal to:

Your index increased x Annual value of gross index salary corresponding to MI 100 / 1,200

The amount of the annual salary shall be rounded to the nearest euro cent.

The amount of the monthly salary is determined by ignoring the thousandths of euro.

Example :

The treatment annual gross corresponding to the increased index 472 is equal to 472 x €5,907.34 / 100 = €27,882.64

The treatment monthly gross is equal to 472 x €5,907.34 / 1,200 = €2,323.55

If you are employed full-time, your gross index salary cannot be less than the gross index salary corresponding to the 366 index plus, i.e. €21,620.86 per year, 1,801.73 per month.

If you are in a non-full-time or incomplete job, the amount of the minimum salary is reduced in proportion to your working time.

Example :

If you are in a job whose working hours are set at 70% of the legal working time (i.e. 24 hours 30 instead of 35 hours), your index salary may not be less than 70% the amount of the index treatment of the increased index 366, or €15,134.60 per year, €1,261.21 per month.

In addition, if you are in a full-time job, your gross index salary cannot be less than the Smic: titleContent raw, or €1,823.03.

If this is the case, you will receive a differential allowance to ensure that your basic monthly gross remuneration is at least equal to the gross minimum wage.

The gross remuneration taken into account, which must be at least equal to the minimum wage, consists of your gross index salary and, if you benefit from it, your benefits in kind.

If you are in a non-full-time or incomplete job, the differential allowance is reduced in proportion to your working hours.

If you work part-timeHowever, the differential allowance is reduced to the same extent as your index salary.

The differential allowance is also reduced in the same proportion as the index salary during periods of absence during which the index salary is reduced (in the case of sick leave paid half-pay for example).

The differential allowance is not subject to pension contributions, unlike the index salary.

Please note

If you perceive a New Index Subsidy (NBI), the index points you receive do not add to your index plus to determine whether or not you are entitled to the minimum treatment corresponding to the index plus 366.

The index salary supplement is a compensation supplement implemented since September 2020.

The additional index salary shall be paid to State officials, territorial and hospital workers who work in the health sector or in the social or medico-social sector or in the socio-educational sector.

The monthly amount of the additional index salary is fixed at 49 index points, i.e. €241.22 raw.

The index treatment supplement is paid monthly.

It is reduced in the same proportion as the index salary (in the case of part-time work or absence leading to a reduction in the index salary, for example in the case of sick leave on half-pay).

The additional index salary is not taken into account for the calculation of the residence allowance and the family salary supplement.

If you work in more than one establishment, the index supplement is calculated by each establishment in proportion to your working time in the establishment concerned.

The gross amount of the index salary supplement is revalued under the same conditions as the index salary according to the value of the index point.

The index treatment supplement is subject to the same contributions that index treatment.

The additional index salary is eligible for a pension supplement.

This pension supplement is granted to retirement pensions paid since 1er September 2020.

To benefit from this, you must have received the index supplement at least 1 time during the last 6 months preceding your retirement.

The pension supplement is calculated in the same way as retirement:

Index treatment supplement x 75% x (number of quarters and liquidatable subsidies / number of quarters required to have a full pension)

The pension supplement is increased under the same conditions as the retirement pension.

Contractual

Your remuneration consists in particular of index treatment (also called basic processing).

Your index salary is set by your employer administration.

In determining your index salary, your administration shall take into account, inter alia, your duties, the qualification required to perform them, your qualifications and your experience.

The index treatment is calculated based on an increased index determined by your administration. The increased indices range from 208 to 835.

Gross index treatment is calculated based on value of annual gross index salary corresponding to the index plus 100.

This value is fixed by decree.

Since 1er in july 2023, the value of the gross annual index salary of the index plus 100 is set at €5,907.34.

Your gross index treatment annual shall be calculated as follows:

Your index increased x Annual value of gross index treatment corresponding to MI 100 / 100

Your gross index treatment monthly is equal to:

Your index increased x Annual value of gross index salary corresponding to MI 100 / 1,200

The amount of the annual salary shall be rounded to the nearest euro cent.

Example :

The treatment annual gross corresponding to the increased index 472 is equal to 472 x €5,907.34 / 100 = €27,882.64

The treatment monthly gross is equal to 472 x €5,907.34 / 1,200 = €2,323.55

The differential allowance is not subject to pension contributions, unlike the index salary.

The conditions for increasing your remuneration vary according to the public service in which you work (State - FPE, territorial - FPT, hospital - FPH).
