Agirc-Arrco supplementary pensions rose by 1.4% on 1 November 2026, taking the point value from 1.4386 to 1.4587 euros. The increase affects around 14 million pensioners in the private sector, including former Algerian employees living in France or Algeria, according to Agirc-Arrco.

Agirc-Arrco supplementary pensions for former private-sector employees in France have risen by 1.4% since 1 November 2026, including for Algerian pensioners living in France or Algeria. The decision was taken on 14 October by the board of Agirc-Arrco, the private-sector supplementary pension scheme.

The point value has risen from 1.4386 to 1.4587 euros and will remain in force until 31 October 2027. The increase affects around 14 million pensioners and is applied automatically, including to survivors’ pensions. It will appear in the transfer made on Monday 2 November, corresponding to the November pension payment, with a possible banking delay for recipients living abroad.

Only the supplementary pension is being increased in November. The basic pension paid by Assurance retraite follows a different timetable, and its 9 November payment is unchanged. The total amount received therefore depends on the share accounted for by the Agirc-Arrco pension, earned through points accumulated while working as a private-sector employee in France.
