Frequently asked questions

How is French unemployment benefit (ARE) calculated?

France Travail takes your daily reference salary and pays the higher of 40.4% of it plus 13.18 euros, or 57% of it. The result stays between 32.13 euros a day and 75% of the reference salary. On 2,500 euros gross a month the allowance is 46.85 euros a day, or 1,405.50 euros gross for a 30-day month.

How long is unemployment benefit paid in France?

The days between your first and your last contract in the last 24 months, times 0.75. After 24 months of work under 55 that is 548 days, about 18 months. The minimum is 182 days; from 55 or 56 the maximum is 685 days and from 57 it is 822 days, over a 36-month look-back.

What is deducted from the ARE?

Three percent of the daily reference salary goes to the supplementary pension, unless that would take the allowance below 32.13 euros. CSG of 6.2% and CRDS of 0.5% on 98.25% of the allowance are charged only when the gross allowance reaches the daily SMIC of 61.55 euros, and never take the net below it.

Does the allowance go down after six months?

Under 55 at the end of the contract, an allowance above 92.57 euros a day is cut by 30% from the 7th month of payment, but never below 92.57 euros. That threshold matches a former gross salary of roughly 4,860 euros a month. From 55 there is no cut.
