Italian public sector salaries rise in 2026 amid tax reforms

A new guide outlines how net monthly earnings for Italian public‑sector workers will change in 2026. The increase comes from three simultaneous factors: the collective‑contract renewal for 2025‑2027, reductions in IRPEF rates introduced by the 2026 Budget Law, and the detaxation of accessory salary components. Net salaries vary by role – entry‑level administrative staff start just above €1,300, mid‑level officials earn €1,900‑€2,100, health‑sector positions reach €2,200‑€2,400, and senior managers exceed €4,000 per month. The guide also provides sector‑specific tables, a salary calculator, and notes one‑off payments of €800‑€1,200 linked to recent contract updates, especially in education and research.
