Civil servant

Definition

A civil servant (Beamter) is insured not under the ASVG but under the B-KUVG via the BVAEB (§ 5 (1) Z 3 ASVG). Instead of ASVG pension insurance a separate pension law applies with a pension contribution, and there is usually no or only reduced unemployment insurance because the post is especially secure. In 2026 the civil servant's health insurance contribution is 4.10 % (§ 22 (1) B-KUVG).

Special points

• In the calculator: The civil servant is modelled as its own employment type in the gross-to-net calculator: B-KUVG health insurance, a pension contribution instead of the ASVG pension (10.25 %, the rate for federal civil servants born from 1976 or appointed from 2005, section XIV PG 1965) and no unemployment insurance. The calculator shows net pay, not the state's employer cost, which is why the civil servant is not in the employer-cost calculator.
