Bonus benefit
The bonus benefit is an allowance paid annually by CMRC, in the form of a bonus. This benefit is in addition to the supplementary retirement pension already paid by AGIRC-ARRCO, according to a calculation method set out in the law. The people who can benefit from it are those who retired before 31 December 2023, and receive a CAR and AGIRC-ARRCO pension for their salaried activity in Monaco.

- The number of bonus points is calculated as follows:
- If you have benefited from “non-executive” status throughout your career in Monaco:
