Fact check: Is Ursula von der Leyen 'auto-increasing' her own salary?

  • EU salary adjustments occur annually via a formula, not by a personal decision of von der Leyen.
  • The pay rise follows purchasing power changes across EU member states, not a simple inflation link.
  • Von der Leyen’s salary rose from about €28,400 in 2020 to roughly €35,800 today, per EU records.
  • EU staff have faced real purchasing power losses despite nominal raises, the EU says.
  • EU officials are not taxed in the traditional way; they face a progressive EU income tax and levies.
  • Official statements deny any notion of 'self-raising salaries' at the European Commission.
