Pensions in France

Contribution rates are standardised by law and are uniform across industries; however, they vary by salary and employment status.
Pension Contribution Rates as of Jan 1st 2023
| Contribution Rate & Monthly Celling | |
Supplementary pensions (Agirc-Arrco scheme) | Employee | Employer |
Bracket 1 | 3.15% | 4.72% |
-CEG (Overall balance contribution) | 0.86% | 1.29% |
Bracket 2 | 8.64% | 12.95% |
-CEG (Overall balance contribution) | 1.08% | 1.62% |
France Healthcare Benefits
Retirement benefits, medical insurance, and disability protections are common components of Frances ubiquitous collective agreements. They may provide additional mandatory benefits in certain sectors or industries, above the statutory minimums.
Employers in France are therefore required to offer private health insurance to their employees, (as of Jan 1st 2016), to supplement the healthcare reimbursements provided by the French government’s Social Security programme. Contributions are established by the relevant collective bargaining agreement (CBA).
