Salaries for NATO International Civilians are free from income tax, regardless of the staff member’s nationality. There are other allowances which may be payable depending on the status of the staff member and/or his/her family, e.g.

• Head of Household Allowance (6% of Basic Salary)

• Dependent Children’s Allowance (payable up to age 18, or up to age 26 if in full-time education) (set amount)

• Expatriation Allowance (18% of Basic Salary)

• Dependent Children’s Expatriation Allowance (set amount)

• Rental Allowance (formula dependent on size of family and rent)

• Education Allowance (up to approx. 70% of costs reimbursable)

NATO International Civilians benefit from a private health insurance scheme and pension plan. These cost the staff member 7.134% of Gross Salary and 8 % of Basic Salary respectively. On departure, the staff member would be reimbursed all his/her pension contributions, plus those made by the HQ (12% of Basic Salary), plus accumulated interest.

Staff members are entitled to 32 working days leave per year, plus 8 days home leave and travelling time for expatriates, together with the appropriate national holidays.
