Salary at this grade

Basic monthly salary at AD5 runs from €6,153 (step 1) to €6,961 (top step), giving an annual range of roughly €73,836 to €83,532 before tax and allowances. Steps increase automatically every two years; the figures here are taken from the salary grid in the EU Staff Regulations.

Eligible staff posted away from their country of nationality also receive an expatriation allowance worth 16% of basic salary (around €984 per month at step 1 of AD5) together with household, dependent-child, and education allowances where applicable. Take-home pay is then adjusted by the country correction coefficient for Tallinn. For a worked example see our correction coefficients guide and the EU salaries overview.

Application timeline

This vacancy was first listed on 18 June 2026, 38 days ago.

No closing date is published in the source feed for this position. EU vacancies typically remain open for four to eight weeks; check the official vacancy notice for the cut-off date and time.

Last verified against the EU Careers feed on 21 July 2026 (5 days ago).

Net pay at this grade

At step 1 of AD5, gross monthly basic salary on the Administrators grid is €6,153. Eligible expatriate staff add a 16% expatriation allowance on top (roughly €984 per month) before two automatic deductions reduce the taxable base: the joint sickness insurance scheme (JSIS, ~3.6%, €257) and the EU pension contribution (~10.3%, €735). EU community tax (Council Reg. 260/68) is then applied progressively; for the AD7-equivalent band the effective rate sits in the 11 to 13% range, which works out to about €737 per month here.
Tallinn carries a correction coefficient of 84.6% (Article 64 of the Staff Regulations), so the net is multiplied by 0.85 to reflect the local cost of living. On those assumptions take-home pay is approximately €4,575 per month, or about €54,898 per year, before household and dependent-child allowances, which can add several hundred euros monthly for staff with families. For the exact bracket-by-bracket computation see our net-pay methodology, and our correction coefficients guide for the full duty-station table.

Comparable recent roles

In the last twenty-four months eu-LISA (and the wider Commission and agencies family) has filled several adjacent roles at the same AD5 grade level. The most recent comparable vacancies, with their actual application windows:
  • Information Technology Officer - Business Relations Management (AD5) at eu-LISA (published 2026-06-18, closed rolling)
  • Information Technology Officer – Service and Project Management (AD5) at eu-LISA (published 2026-06-12, closed rolling)
  • Information Technology Officer – Service and Project Management (AD5) ) Internal for eu-LISA staff only at eu-LISA (published 2026-06-12, closed rolling)
Pattern recognition matters here: recruiters at the same Directorate-General often re-advertise nearly identical profiles every six to nine months, so candidates who miss one window can typically position for the next one. Browse the live catalog: all AD5 openings, other vacancies at eu-LISA.

Career trajectory

Career progression for AD5 staff is governed by Articles 44 to 46 of the Staff Regulations (consolidated text on EUR-Lex) and Annex IB on the promotion procedure. Step increases are automatic every two years (Art. 44); grade promotion is competitive, based on the appraisal exercise (Art. 45) and the Career Development Review. For roles at eu-LISA, the typical next move is AD7 within four to five years on merit, then AD9 by year nine if the appraisals are strong. Article 46 governs the classification at recruitment, which sets the starting step within the grade (usually step 1 for external recruits without prior EU service, step 2 or 3 where relevant professional experience is recognised).
Mobility within the institutions is encouraged via the inter-institutional and intra-institutional vacancy publication system: temporary agents who pass the probation period and reservists from EPSO laureate lists can typically apply to internal vacancies after one year of service. Lateral moves between Directorates-General reset the seniority clock for promotion only if the new post carries a different grade.

Language profile

Beyond the formal language requirements stated in the vacancy notice, the day-to-day working languages at this employer are English as the operational language. JHA agencies (Frontex, Europol, eu-LISA, EUAA) operate almost entirely in English given their member-state-facing operational mission; a second language is welcome but rarely a daily requirement.

Application cadence

Across the past twenty-four months 3 comparable openings with the same grade and subject area signature have been advertised by eu-LISA or related EU bodies, 3 of them in the last twelve months alone. That cadence (roughly 1.5 per year) suggests a candidate who narrowly misses this competition can reasonably expect a similar profile to reopen within six to nine months.
