Supplementary retirement of a public service contractor (Ircantec)
Verified 01 January 2023 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
If you work in the public service as a contract employee, you must contribute to a pension plan that is complementary to the basic social security pension insurance plan. This compulsory supplementary pension scheme is theIrcantec: titleContent.
L'Ircantec: titleContent is a supplementary pension scheme based on points.
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.
Upon retirement, the amount of your pension is obtained by multiplying the number of points earned by the liquidation value of the point (or service value) in force on the date of your departure.
The vesting value (to determine the number of points earned) and the liquidation value of the retirement point are revalued annually.
You must contribute to Ircantec if you are a contract employee in the public service (state, territorial or hospital).
The additional pension contributions deducted each month from your remuneration and the contributions paid by your employer's administration allow you to earn points.
Some periods not worked and not paid are eligible for free points.
If you have had at least 3 children, you can benefit from an increase in the total number of your points.
These points are accumulated on an individual account called (point count).
How are your contributions converted to points?
Your contributions are converted into points, based on an amount (called acquisition value or reference salary) which evolves each year.
The result is rounded to the top.
In 2023, the acquisition value to account for the number of pension points is set at €5.329.
Example :
If the annual amount of your and your government's contributions in 2023 is equal to €1,000, you get 188 points (1 000 /€5.329).
You can check online in your personal space the number of points earned on your individual account.
How are free points awarded?
The periods not worked and not paid into which free points are awarded are as follows:
- Sick, maternity or adoption leave with social security benefits for at least 30 consecutive days
- Periods of receipt of an invalidity pension from the general social security scheme
- Accident at work Periods of receipt of an annuity from an occupational disease corresponding to a minimum 2/3 incapacity rate

- You've had at least three children
- You or your spouse had at least 3 children, of which you were not a parent, for at least 9 years before their 16the birthday
