The year 2025 brings a new dynamic for French retirees, with increases planned in all pension plans. These revaluations, although anchored in modest percentages, reflect a desire to adapt to economic and social developments.
All retirees will benefit from an increase in their pensions in 2025. The increase applies to several schemes, notably the Cnav (general scheme), the CNRACL (civil servants), the Agirc-Arrco (complementary to the private sector), as well as 'at least old age. These increases aim to partially offset the effects of inflation and preserve the purchasing power of retirees.
The general regime (Cnav), which concerns former private sector employees and civil service contract workers, will record an increase of 2.2% from February 2025. For example, a pension of 1,000 euros will increase by 22 euros per year. month. This revaluation will appear on payments made from February 7.
Civil servants and former private sector employees also affected by the increase in pensions
Civil servants' pensions, managed by the CNRACL, will see a similar increase of 2.2%. However, these increases will be visible from January 29, with a slightly advanced schedule compared to the general regime. This increase also applies to supplementary pensions for civil servants (Ircantec) and state pensions, including those of magistrates, soldiers and combatants.
For private sector employees affiliated with Agirc-Arrco, the revaluation will be effective in October 2025, in accordance with its annual calendar. Although the exact percentage has not yet been determined, typical increases range between 1% and 1.5%, or around €10 more for a €1,000 pension. This discrepancy may seem frustrating for some retirees, but it reflects a policy specific to supplementary plans.
The old age minimum, essential support for certain retirees
Beneficiaries of the old age minimum will also see their allowances increase. This revaluation, aligned with 2024 inflation, is set at 2.2% and will be effective from February 2025. This adjustment is crucial for the most modest retirees, often the most affected by the rise in prices.
These increases are part of the fight against the erosion of purchasing power linked to inflation. Although the percentages remain limited, they reflect a desire to support retirees, while taking into account the budgetary constraints of pension funds. In 2025, the revaluation effort is seen as a necessary step to support seniors in a demanding economic environment.
With these adjustments, 2025 marks a new stage in the evolution of pensions in France. These increases, although modest, demonstrate consideration of the needs of retirees, while being part of rigorous financial management of the schemes concerned.
