About this digital tool
An Albanian civil servant's pay is built from several parts: position pay, set by the pay class (from I-1 to IV-4); a qualification supplement based on the degree the position requires; a seniority supplement; and, in some institutions, supplements for special or hazardous working conditions. The class depends on the position and on the group of the institution, so the same “specialist” is paid differently in a ministry and in a local office.
The calculator uses the tables of VKM no. 325/2023 as updated by VKM no. 131/2026, which include the 2026 pay indexation. Search for your institution by name or abbreviation and the tool shows its group and the positions with their classes. For institutions with their own table, such as the Tax and Customs directorates, AKSHI or the courts, it shows their exact positions and fills in the working-conditions supplement. The tool then deducts social and health insurance and income tax to give your net pay.
How to use
- Search for your institution by name or abbreviation, e.g. AKAFP, DPT or Ministry of Finance.
- Pick your position: each one shows its pay class and position pay.
- Pick the class and the degree the position requires, then enter your years of work.
- Check the working-conditions supplement, filled in when the VKM sets one, and read your net pay.
Frequently asked questions
How is a civil servant's salary calculated in Albania?
Gross pay = position pay for the class + qualification supplement + seniority supplement + working-conditions supplements where they apply. From the gross, 9.5% social insurance, 1.7% health insurance and income tax are deducted.
How much is the seniority supplement?
0.6% of position pay for each year in the first 10 years, 0.8% for years 11 to 20 and 1% for years 21 to 30. After 30 years it stays at 24%. With 15 years of work, for example, it is 10% of position pay.
How much is the qualification supplement?
14,000 lek a month for a master of science or master of arts, 12,000 lek for a professional master and 10,000 lek for a bachelor. It follows the degree the position requires: classes I to III require a master of science, while specialists in classes IV-2 to IV-4 may hold a bachelor.
How do the old pay categories map to the new classes?
Under VKM 325/2023, until new organisation charts are approved: II-b becomes II-1, III-a becomes III-1, III-a/1 becomes III-2, III-b becomes III-3 for heads of sector and IV-1 for others, IV-a becomes IV-2, IV-b becomes IV-3 and IV-c becomes IV-4.
What is the net pay of a ministry specialist?
A specialist in class IV-2 with a bachelor and 8 years of work earns 99,080 lek gross: 85,000 position pay, 10,000 qualification supplement and 4,080 seniority. After insurance and tax, net pay is about 80,445 lek a month.
