The Salaries of civil servants in Spain will increase from January 2025. An increase that seeks to compensate for the inflation of recent years and that was agreed with the unions in 2022, within the Framework Agreement for a 21st Century Administration. This is a measure to maintain the purchasing power of public employees. Within this group is the Civil Guard, whose salary depends on the Spanish State, which is why next year they will earn more. Specifically, they depend on the Ministry of the Interior.
It is not the first salary increase for civil servants in recent months, since in the summer their payrolls increased by 2%, and now there could be a new 0.5% to compensate for the rise in prices. It is a measure that is published in Royal Decree Law 4/2024 of the Official State Gazette (BOE).
Base salary of a Civil Guard in 2025: how much they will earn next year
The first thing to keep in mind to know how much a Civil Guard earns is that there are different salaries depending on the supplements that apply in each case, and also the rank. The gross annual salary of a Civil Guard agent is 25,000 euros, which translates into 2,083 gross euros per month. After the 0.5% increase for civil servants in January, the salary could increase up to 125 euros more. Therefore, a Civil Guard in 2025 would earn 25,125 euros per year after the salary increase.
The salary of a Civil Guard also changes depending on the category they occupy within the force. For example, the base salary of a sergeant is 1,260 euros per month, and there are captains who can earn up to 1,430 euros in base salary. Therefore, the amount that will increase your payroll will depend on each case.
