Andorra Public Sector Salaries Vary by Up to €20,000 Across Departments

Public sector salaries in Andorra vary significantly across departments, with differences reaching up to 20,000 euros annually, according to new data from the Ministry of Public Function.

The figures, drawn from the 2026 budget expenditure forecasts, break down average pay for civil servants by department and functional group. Staff are categorised into three levels: Group A for senior directive or technical roles, Group B for mid-level technicians, and Group C for administrative and operational personnel. Overall averages stand at 67,535.56 euros per year for Group A, 45,249.19 euros for Group B, and 36,698.38 euros for Group C.

Pay scales differ sharply depending on departmental structure. The police department leads with some of the highest figures: Group B employees average 57,747.62 euros annually, while Group C staff earn 40,828.27 euros. Other high earners include the Taxes and Borders department (52,200.01 euros for Group B), the general secretariat (52,135.27 euros for Group B), Industrial Safety (48,897.03 euros for Group B), and Immigration (56,626.47 euros for Group B).

Several departments exceed the functional group averages, such as Justice and Interior, Environment, General Audit, Language Policy, and Educational Systems. In the latter, Group B salaries average nearly 56,800 euros, with Group C above 30,000 euros. Social Affairs and Higher Education also surpass the benchmarks.

At the lower end, stark contrasts emerge. Group C staff in the Business department average just 20,088.58 euros annually, while the Statistics department records 27,433.20 euros for the same group. For Group B, Protocol stands at 33,500.68 euros. Departments like Employment and Labour, Budget and Heritage, Protocol, and Cultural Promotion fall between 30,000 and 40,000 euros for Group B.

The government noted that, to protect data privacy, averages are published only for departments with more than one civil servant per group. Full details remain available to councillors at the State Secretariat for Public Function. The information appeared in a parliamentary response published in the General Council Bulletin.
