THR and the 13th Salary 2026: Are They the Same? Here Are the Amounts and Disbursement Timings
In Indonesia, the government will channel allowances to state apparatus in the form of THR and the 13th salary. This allowance typically coincides with Eid al-Fitr and the new school year. Based on Government Regulation Number 11 of 2025 concerning the Provision of Tunjangan Hari Raya and the Thirteenth Salary to state apparatus, retirees, recipients of pensions, and recipients of allowances in 2025, THR and the 13th salary are forms of gratitude for service to the nation with regard to the country’s financial capacity. They are government financial measures to maintain and stimulate the national economy. THR and the 13th salary are to be provided to state apparatus, retirees, pension recipients, and allowance recipients. Recipients include central government and local governments. Then, are they the same? They are different. According to detikFinance, the government via the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs stated that THR and the 13th salary are not the same. Differences: Based on the site of the Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform, THR and the 13th salary differ in purpose and timing. THR 2026 is given to support needs during Nyepi Day and Eid al-Fitr for employees or state apparatus. Its aim is to increase household consumption and bolster the economy. Meanwhile, the 13th salary is an aid given to state apparatus to support their children’s education. The 13th salary is also usually given near the new academic year.
