New Index Enhancement (NBI) in the Public Service

Verified 14 April 2025 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

Certain public service jobs that involve a particular responsibility or technique give right to a additional remuneration called new index enhancement (NBI). The NBI is the allocation of points of increased index additional. We present you with the information you need to know.

You can collect the new index rebate (NBI) if you are civil servant (trainee or incumbent) and hold a job with a liability or one special technical requirements.

NBI-eligible jobs are listed, in each public service, by ministerial decree or order.

Example :

A State official acting as a registrar in the courts is entitled to a 15-point NBI.

A territorial official performing a master's apprenticeship function is entitled to a 20-point NBI.

Hospital official assigned to a hospital service severe burns and directly participating in the care of those patients is entitled to a 13-point NBI.

Warning  

If you are contractualHowever, you cannot collect the NBI even if you hold a job listed as eligible. However, if you are recruited under the special provisions on access to the civil service for disabled personsYes, you can take advantage of it.

There is no list of all NBI-eligible jobs. In view of the very large number of decrees and decrees setting out the conditions for the allocation of the NBI in the different categories of employer administrations, ask your human resources department if you want to know if you are entitled to an NBI.

In each public service, the number of points of index plus accorded is fixed by decree or order for each job qualifying for it.

In the State civil service, for civil servants exercising senior management, managerial or expert functions, an overall amount of index points increased shall be fixed, for each ministerial department, by decree.

This aggregate amount of increased index points is divided, in each ministerial department, between central government, decentralized administrations and public institutions under supervision.

A Ministerial Order sets the maximum amounts of NBI that can be allocated to the jobs concerned.

The NBI is paid monthly.

The point value is set to €4.92.

It continues to be paid, in the same proportions as the index salary, during the following holidays:

The NBI is reduced in the same proportions as index treatment in the case of part-time work or if you are employed in a non-full-time or incomplete employment.

If your duties entitle you to multiple NBIs, this is the NBI with the highest number of points plus which is assigned to you.

The NBI ceases to be paid in the following situations:

Remuneration

NBI adds to your index treatment for the calculation of the residence allowance and the family treatment supplement (FTS).

Example :

If you are remunerated on the basis of the index plus 485 and receive an NBI of 10 points, your residence allowance and SFT are calculated on the basis of the index 495.

NBI is added to your index salary for the calculation of premiums or allowances as a percentage of index salary, but is not included in the calculation of hourly allowances for additional work (IHTS).

The NBI is in addition to the index salary for the calculation of salary increases or residential allowances that are granted to you if you are serving in a department or a overseas collectivity (Com).

Retirement

The NBI is subject to contributions to the basic pension scheme (SRE: titleContent if you are a public servant or CNRACL: titleContent if you are a territorial or hospital official).

Periods during which you receive the NBI entitle you to a pension supplement in addition to your main pension.

The amount of the pension supplement depends on the number of years you received the NBI and the amount of the NBI.

A simulator allows you to assess the amount of your pension supplement:
