What is the revaluation figur?

The revaluation figure (2025) is based on the change in the average contribution base in the statutory pension insurance from the third previous calendar year (2022) to the second previous calendar year (2023), unless an extraordinary increase is set by ordinance. The revaluation figure is the basis for the increase in the variable values under contribution law (e.g. maximum contribution threshold, marginal employment threshold) and is multiplied by the previous year's contributions.

In contrast, pensions, annuities and defined benefit fixed amounts in the social security contributions are multiplied by the adjustment factor, which is linked to the inflation rate of the last year (August 2023-July 2024) and set by regulation.
