# AMLA salaries - Link: https://euemployment.eu/amla-salaries/ - Published: 2024-02-29T23:45:34+01:00 - Author: Ben **This article provides approximate net salaries at [AMLA](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/amla/), the upcoming European Authority for Anti-money Laundering and Countering Terrorist Financing** **([AMLA](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/amla/)), that will be located in Frankfurt, Germany. ** [According to the Council of the European Union](https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2024/02/22/frankfurt-to-host-the-eus-new-anti-money-laundering-authority-amla/), [AMLA](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/amla/) will directly carry out preventative measures against money laundering and terrorist financing activities within the EU, as well as supervise similar activities of other institutions. The newest EU agency will oversee high-risk cross-border financial entities, ensuring uniformity in the application of anti-money laundering (AML) regulations across member states, and enhance cooperation among national authorities. [AMLA](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/amla/) will also be able to carry out reviews and even investigate potential breaches, thereby bolstering the EU’s defenses against illicit financial flows and contributing to the stability and integrity of the common European financial market. The salaries below are presented according to **four typical personal/family situations** of future employees. * **by type of contract** ([Contract Agent](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/contract-agent/), Administrator, Assistant, Secretary and Clerk) and * **[function group](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/function-group/)** (FGI-FGIV, AD5-AD16, AST1-AST11, AST/SC1-AST/SC6). The mentioned personal/family situations are: | **Situation 01** | **Situation **02 | **Situation **03 | **Situation **04 | | **Single **_local _with no children | **Married **_local _with two children | **Single **_expat _with no children | **Married **_expat _with two children | The term ‘local’ refers to nationals of the country where the EU institution has its headquarters. The term ‘expat’ refers to employees of the said EU institution that have a nationality of another EU member state. To get an idea of your actual salary at [AMLA](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/amla/), you should look at the right cell in one of the four columns in the tables below that best corresponds to your personal/family situation. In calculating these values we have summed up **not only the [basic salary](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/basic-salary/), but also the applicable [allowances](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/allowances/) and deductions**: [household allowance](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/household-allowance/), child [allowances](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/allowances/), [expatriation allowance](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/expatriation-allowance/), pension contribution, sickness, accident and unemployment insurance, as well as [community tax](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/community-tax/). All values in the last four columns are also **adjusted by the [European Commission’s Correction Coefficient](https://euemployment.eu/correction-coefficient/) for Frankfurt in Germany**, so they present a realistic approximation of take-home pay/full remuneration package calculation. As usual in these types of articles, I have to add the caveat that your precise salary can be calculated only by the EU institution’s HR department that knows your particular professional and personal circumstances. The information below gives you a realistic estimate of what you can expect to earn at [AMLA](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/amla/). People interested in working for EU institutions often **only look up the [basic pay](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/basic-pay/)** for their type of contract and [grade](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/grade/). This is a mistake as the actual net salary can differ up or down quite a bit, compared to the [basic salary](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/basic-salary/). If you want to understand what elements constitute the full salary package in the EU institutions and their weight in the total remuneration calculation, please read the article applicable to your type of contract: [Contract Agents](https://euemployment.eu/category/contract-agents-fgi-fgii-fgiii-fgiv/), [Administrators](https://euemployment.eu/category/administrators-ad5-to-ad16/), [Assistants](https://euemployment.eu/category/assistants/), [Secretaries and Clerks](https://euemployment.eu/category/secretaries-clerks-ast-sc/). ### How to read the tables Here’s an explanation of how to read the tables below. _Let’s assume that you have applied for an [AD6](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/ad-6/) Administrator’s vacancy in [AMLA](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/amla/). You are a Belgian national (any nationality except German fits here) with a spouse and two children. From the table below you can deduct that your [basic salary](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/basic-salary/) without any adjustments would be EUR 5669, however, by working for [AMLA](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/amla/)_ _in Frankfurt, Germany, your net take-home remuneration package would be around ** EUR 6736**._ A German colleague with a similar family situation would earn **EUR 5675**. ## Contract Agent salaries at AMLA The salaries will be approximately 10% higher, as the figures need to be recalculated with the current [Correction Coefficient](https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/databrowser/view/prc_colc_nat/default/table?lang=en&category=prc.prc_colc) for Germany which is **105.5**. | [Function group](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/function-group/) | [Basic salary](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/basic-salary/) for [function group](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/function-group/) | [Correction Coefficient](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/correction-coefficient/) | Single local with no children | Married local with 2 children | Single expat with no children | Married expat with 2 children | | FG I [step](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/grade/) 1 | 2128 | **96.9** | 1818 | 2881 | 2382 | 3445 | | FG II [step](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/grade/) 4 | 2211 | **96.9** | 1879 | 2944 | 2443 | 3508 | | FG III [step](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/grade/) 8 | 2831 | **96.9** | 2390 | 3466 | 3000 | 4077 | | FG IV [step](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/grade/) 13 | 3624 | **96.9** | 2998 | 4083 | 3728 | 4820 | Contract agent salaries at AMLA ##

Allowances and other benefits for EU institutions staff Several [allowances](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/allowances/) and other benefits can quite significantly boost an EU official’s income. This largely depends on whether the person is an expat and has a spouse and/or children. When considering a job at an EU institution, people too often do not take these benefits into account. Important – these benefits are available to **[Administrators](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/administrators/)** in grades AD 5-16, **[Assistants](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/assistants/) ** in grades AST 1-11, **Secretaries and Clerks** in grades AST/SC 1-6, and **Contract Agents** in grades FG I-IV. * **[Travel costs on taking up duties](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/travel-costs-on-taking-up-duties/)**. * **[Daily subsistence allowance](https://euemployment.eu/daily-subsistence-allowance-for-new-eu-employees/)**.

Paid under Article 4 of Annex VII to officials who are not nationals of their host country and have not habitually resided or carried out their main occupation there during the five years ending six months before entering the service. It equals 16% of the sum of [basic salary](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/basic-salary/), [household allowance](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/household-allowance/), and dependent child [allowances](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/allowances/).
