Supplementary Retirement of a Public Service Contract (Ircantec)
Verified 01 January 2023 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
If you work in the Public Service as a contractor, you are required to contribute to a pension plan that is complementary to the basic Social Security Pension Insurance Plan. This compulsory supplementary pension scheme is theIrcantec: titleContent.
TheIrcantec: titleContent is a point-based supplementary pension scheme.
Thus, your contributions (employees and employers) are converted into points, based on a acquisition value of the Ircantec point (also called reference salary).
The points thus obtained are accumulated throughout your career as a contract agent.
When you retire, the amount of your pension is obtained by multiplying the number of points earned by the liquidation value of the point (or service value) effective on the date of your departure.
The acquisition value (to determine the number of points earned) and the liquidation value of the retirement point shall be revalued annually.
You must contribute to the Ircantec if you are a contractual member of the civil service (state, territorial or hospital).
The additional pension contributions paid each month from your remuneration and the contributions paid by your employer administration allow you to earn points.
Certain periods not worked and not contributed are eligible for free points.
If you have had at least 3 children, you can benefit from an increase in the total number of points.
These points are accumulated on an individual account called (point account).
How are your contributions converted to points?
Your contributions are converted to points based on an amount (called acquisition value or reference salary) that evolves every year.
The result is rounded up.
In 2023, the acquisition value used to record the number of retirement points is fixed at €5.329.
Example :
If the annual amount of your contributions and those of your administration in 2023 is equal to €1,000, you get 188 points (1000 /€5.329).
You can view online in your personal area the number of points earned on your individual account.
How are the free points awarded?
The periods not worked and not contributed which qualify for the award of free points are:
- Sick, maternity or adoption leave granted by Social Security for at least 30 consecutive days
- Periods of receipt of a disability pension from the general social security system
- Periods of receipt of an accident at work pension or occupational disease corresponding to a minimum of 2/3 incapacity
- Periods of compensated unemployment

- You have had at least 3 children
- You, or your spouse, had at least 3 children, of which you were not a parent, for at least 9 years before they were 16e anniversary
