The latest published EU salary grid is the 2025 annual update in Official Journal C/2025/6564. It applies from 1 July 2025 and remains the current published grid until the next annual update is published.
The grade reflects the level of the post. The step is the pay point within that grade. Each grade has several steps, so two people in the same grade can have different basic salaries.
No. Take-home pay depends on pension and insurance contributions, EU tax, any special levy, correction coefficients and allowances based on residence and family circumstances.
A correction coefficient adjusts remuneration for the duty station compared with Brussels and Luxembourg. A coefficient above 100 increases adjusted amounts. A coefficient below 100 reduces them.
The estimate includes household, dependent-child, education, preschool, expatriation and foreign-residence allowances. Eligibility depends on the Staff Regulations and the documents accepted by the employing institution.
No. This is an independent planning estimate based on published figures and a documented calculation model. Only the employing EU institution can issue an authoritative individual calculation.
