Federal Security Pay Frozen for February as Argentina’s Military Receives New Scale

Stagnant scales for federal forces contrast with a modest military adjustment under Resolution 1/2026.

Overview

  • In the absence of a new Ministry of Security update, federal forces including the PFA continue under Resolution 944/2025 for February 2026.
  • In the PFA, a rank-and-file agent’s gross pay is $878,108.49, and Policía Adicional rates remain at $15,856.21 (continuous), $21,169.98 (discontinuous), $22,167.19 (rail), and $22,280.26 (explosives).
  • Gendarmería salaries also hold at the November-based grid, with a gendarme at $774,592 and a suboficial mayor at $1,516,321.
  • The Armed Forces are under the newly published joint Resolution 1/2026 effective December 2025, granting a 2% raise plus a $50,000 fixed sum, with monthly pay ranging from $2,866,115 to $622,720 by rank.
  • Labor unrest has surfaced after a PFA subofficer chained himself at the Casa Rosada claiming a $700,000 salary, and demonstrations in Santa Fe underscored complaints of wages lagging inflation.
