If you live in Italy, you may have heard of the Quattordicesima Pension. But what exactly is it, and who qualifies for this additional benefit? In this blog post, we will answer these questions and provide you with a clear understanding of the eligibility criteria.

Who is Eligible for the Quattordicesima Pension?

The Quattordicesima Pension, also known as the 14th-month pension, is an additional annual payment available to certain categories of Italian workers. To qualify for this benefit, you must meet the following criteria:

  • Being an employee of a private company, public administration, or a cooperative.

  • Holding a permanent employment contract or a fixed-term contract lasting at least three months.

  • Having completed at least one year of uninterrupted service with the same employer.

  • Being actively employed on December 31st of the current year.

  • Receiving a total gross annual income below a certain threshold. The income limit varies based on different factors such as the number of dependent children or family situations.

Are There Any Additional Requirements?

While meeting the general eligibility criteria is essential, some additional requirements may vary depending on your specific situation:

  • For part-time workers: The Quattordicesima Pension is pro-rated based on the hours worked during the year. However, a minimum annual working hours threshold may apply.

  • For fixed-term contracts: The Quattordicesima Pension is calculated based on the length of the contract and the amount of time worked. The payment is usually proportional to the number of months worked throughout the year.

  • For employees with multiple employers: If you have worked for more than one employer during the year, each employer will evaluate your eligibility separately. The Quattordicesima Pension may be granted by each employer individually if you meet the criteria.

How is the Quattordicesima Pension Calculated?

The Quattordicesima Pension is calculated based on your regular salary or wages. The payment amount is equivalent to one month’s salary and is usually made in two installments: half in June and the remaining half in December.

It’s important to note that the Quattordicesima Pension is subject to income tax and social security contributions, just like your regular salary.

In Conclusion
