Wages, Pensions to Increase by 2.5% from 1 May

On Tuesday 29 April 2025, Luxembourg's national statistics institute STATEC confirmed that the next wage indexation will take place on Thursday 1 May 2025.

According to preliminary results published by STATEC, the annual inflation rate of the national consumer price index (IPCN) stands at 1.7% for the month of April. With this result, the half-yearly average of the index linked to the base 1.1.1948 for April exceeds the threshold of 1,013.46 points, thus triggering a new wage indexation.

The new application rate for the sliding wage scale of 968.04 points (previous rate: 944.43 points) will come into effect on Thursday 1 May 2025, resulting in a 2.5% increase in wages, salaries and pensions from that date.

STATEC will publish the final and detailed results of the national consumer price index for April on Wednesday 7 May 2025, following the monthly meeting of the Consumer Price Index Commission.

The last wage indexation was triggered on 1 September 2023 (this followed two other indexations that same year- in February and in April).
