How Salary & 14 Payments Work in Austria (Österreichisches Gehaltssystem)
Under Austrian collective bargaining agreements (Kollektivverträge), employees receive their annual salary distributed across 14 paychecks rather than 12:
1. Social Insurance (SV)
The employee share of statutory social security (Kranken-, Unfall-, Pensions- und Arbeitslosenversicherung) totals 18.12% up to the monthly cap of €6,060 (2025). The employer contributes approximately 21.38%.
2. 13th & 14th Salary Privilege
The 13th (Urlaubszuschuss in June) and 14th (Weihnachtsremuneration in November) checks are taxed at a preferential 6% flat rate after a tax-free allowance of €620, rather than regular progressive tax brackets!
3. Familienbonus Plus
A direct tax credit of up to €2,000 per child per year (€166.68/month) for children under 18, which directly reduces your calculated income tax down to zero.
