When the prices of goods and services rise above a certain threshold (the so-called pivot index), most wages are automatically increased. This mechanism ensures that your purchasing power does not decrease despite sharply rising inflation and the associated rising cost of living.

According to the Federal Planning Office, the overshoot of the pivotal indicator this year will occur in July and December. One in July, a month earlier than expected. Also in March 2023, the pivot indicator will be surpassed again. The last pivot point crossed back to April. Before that, there were already overruns in December 2021 and February 2022. In other words, benefits and wages for government employees will increase five times in less than a year.

Social benefits increase by 2 percent each month after the overshoot. For civil servants, that’s also the next month at 2 percent.
