From 1st January 2025, the Social Security Ceiling (PASS: Plafond de la Sécurité sociale) will increase by 1.6%, reflecting the latest salary trends. The PASS is used to calculate the maximum limits for various social security benefits, contributions, and tax exemptions. The new figures were announced in the Official Bulletin of Social Security on November 4, 2024.

Quarterly | €11,775 |
Monthly | €3,925 |

Why is PASS important?
The PASS is used to calculate the maximum amount of key social benefits and employer contributions such as:
For Individuals:
- Daily allowances for sick leave, maternity/paternity leave, and work accidents.
- Disability pensions and general retirement pensions.
For Employers:
- Social security contributions (retirement, unemployment, etc.).
- Tax and social exemptions for severance pay.
- Stipends for student internships.
Contributions to the National Housing Assistance Fund.
Some quick facts
- The increase takes into account the change in the average salary per head (SMPT) for the year N-1.
- In 2024, the PASS had a bigger jump of 5.4%.
This slight bump in 2025 might not seem huge, but it ensures social security benefits keep up with current salary trends.
