🇧🇪 Belgium: 2026 Salary Indexation Update

The Belgian government has now published the official salary indexation rate for 2026.

Under Belgian law, certain salaries need to be adjusted each year to inflation, and current forecasts indicate a small mandatory indexation to take effect as of January 1, 2026.

This update applies to employees in Belgium covered under Joint Committee 200 (JC 200) and is mandatory under Belgian law.

Confirmed Indexation Rate for 2026

• Indexation rate: 2.21%

• Effective date: January 1, 2026

• Applicable to: Employees under JC 200

This rate is final and replaces earlier projections.

What This Means
