Argentine Gendarmerie personnel will see no changes in their monthly pay in August 2026, as salary updates have not yet been processed. This means the salary grid established by the Ministry of Security in the previous year continues to be the basis for their earnings.

The current salary structure outlines specific amounts for each rank within the Gendarmerie. For instance, a Gendarme earns 783,112.06 Argentine pesos, while higher ranks receive significantly more, with a Comandante General earning 2,635,216.00 pesos. The scale also includes intermediate ranks like Suboficial Mayor and Segundo Comandante, reflecting a tiered compensation system.

Additionally, gendarmes assigned to neighborhood prevention duties benefit from a special supplementary scheme to calculate their income. The article provides a detailed breakdown of these figures, underscoring the established pay structure for those serving in national security roles across Argentina.
