The Storting has decided to increase the salaries of the members of the Supreme Court by 4.4% with effect from 1 October 2025. The adjustment follows the framework of the frontline bargaining and is in line with the Storting's established criteria for ensuring a predictable salary development for the judges.

The Supreme Court is the country's highest court, and the Storting is responsible for determining the salaries of the judges who sit there. This is done annually to ensure that the salary level is predictable and that the court remains an attractive workplace for the country's top lawyers. The Storting's Presidency proposed an increase of 4.4 percent this year, which corresponds to the frontline framework for 2025. This is in line with established guidelines that the salary development for Supreme Court members should follow the development of state managers and other judges in the judiciary. The Storting adopted the Presidency's proposal, meaning that the salary of the Supreme Court President will increase to NOK 2,722,000, and for other Supreme Court judges to NOK 2,347,900, with effect from 1 October 2025. A committee has also been appointed to consider whether salary determination in the future should be regulated by law to ensure even more objective and independent processes.
