How Austrian Arbeitslosengeld Works (AlVG 2025)
Austrian unemployment benefits (Arbeitslosengeld) are calculated not on your gross salary, but on a standardized fictitious net earnings base (Tägliches Nettoeinkommen) derived from your social security contributions:
55% Grundbetrag
The fundamental base rate equals 55% of your daily net earnings.
Family Supplements
You receive an additional €1.02 per day for each dependent child (or dependent spouse) for whom you provide substantial maintenance.
Maximum Ceilings
The daily payout cannot exceed 60% of your daily net earnings (or 80% if you receive family supplements).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What happens if I quit my job voluntarily (Selbstkundigung)?
Under § 11 AlVG, voluntary resignation without compelling justification (such non-payment or medical incapacity) triggers a 4-week suspension sanction (Sperrfrist) during which no Arbeitslosengeld is paid.
Can I earn marginal income (Geringfugige Beschäftigung) while on AMS?
Yes. You can work a marginal job up to the statutory Geringfugigkeitsgrenze (€518.44 per month in 2025) without losing a single Euro of your Arbeitslosengeld!
