Wage foreclosures: the 2025 schedule

Publié le 17 février 2025 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

Wage attachment, or wage attachment, enables a creditor to recover sums due through the intermediary of the employer. The employer may deduct from the attachable portion of the employee's salary. As a result, the employee receives only a portion of his salary. Discover the 2025 scale of calculation of the amount seizable.

Wage attachment enables a creditor of an employee to obtain payment of his claim. Within a certain limit, part of the employee's remuneration may be withheld and paid to the creditor. The decree revising the schedule of seizures of earnings for 2025 was published on 30 December 2024.

It should be noted that only a fraction of the seizable income can be withheld by the employer. The seizable fraction is calculated on the amount of annual net remuneration (excluding reimbursement of expenses and allowances for dependants) for the 12 months preceding notification of seizure.

The attachable share shall be defined according to a schedule of monthly installments of attachable resources (for a single debtor).

FYI  

Seizable income may be seized in its entirety, except for the elusive bank balance (SBI) which corresponds to the minimum sum to be left to the debtor. The amount of the SBI is €635.71 regardless of family status (i.e. the value of the SSA in effect since 1er April 2024).

Please note

One decree published on 12 february 2025 gives the new procedure for the attachment of salaries, including the intervention of the Commissioners of Justice.
