Vorarlberg officials enjoy high pensions over 6,000 euros in old age!

Vorarlberg, Österreich - In Vorarlberg, civil servants don't have to worry about poverty in old age. The average pension of the civil service is an impressive 6,474.13 euros gross per month. This number refers to the 355 civil servants who receive their retirement train on December 31, 2023. In comparison, the average age pension in Austria is only 1,750 euros, which illustrates the differences between the pension systems of civil servants and ASVG insured persons. A direct comparison between the two pension types turns out to be little effective, since serious differences are in the regulations, such as Vol.at reports.

of the 524 people who receive resting trains in Vorarlberg are 130 among the survivors who obtain an average monthly pension of EUR 3,108.63. Despite these high amounts, the difference to ASVG pensions that are on average at around 1,100 euros is significant. Officials also have the advantage that they do not have to receive processing in retirement, since the federal government takes over the pension scheme, which is a decisive advantage compared to ASVG insured.

Detailed analyzes of civil servants' pensions

The trend shows that civil servants in Austria are high compared to ASVG pensions. For example, university teachers receive the highest pensions with almost 6,000 euros, followed by judges and prosecutors who receive just under 5,700 euros. In contrast, civil servants in the administrative service receive an average of 2,900 euros and those in the executive service a little more than 2,150 euros. These differences illustrate the different professional groups and their effects on the pension heights, as well as Finanzonline.at.

The retirement age of the civil servants in Vorarlberg, which was an average of 63.5 years in 2023, is similarly noteworthy, while the average starting age for all retireists is 61.9 years. The inactivity of the civil service administrations is supported by the fact that no active officials will be employed in the state administration by 2038 at the latest.

Financial implications and trend development

In 2016, the payments to retired federal officials amounted to 3.2 billion euros, while 1.6 billion euros were taken on pension contributions by federal civil servants. The financial situation of civil servants is thus influenced by a high burden. In addition, the civil servants' pension rights to the general pension law will continue to be discussed. This applies above all to the civil servants who worked under the old pension right before 1955, as well as those who were pragmatized between 1955 and 1975 and have to fall under a parallel calculation, as statistics.at emphasized.
