Average pension of the Russian Federation in the regions. Pension size in Russia. Southern Federal District

28.04.2024 -

According to Russian legislation, pension provision unemployed citizen, receiving a pension through the Pension Fund, cannot be less than the regional subsistence minimum for a pensioner (PMP). Due to climatic conditions and differences in the standard of living of the population, this value is set for each region separately and is revised annually from January 1.

It is noteworthy that the size of the minimum pension in Russia with an increase in the minimum wage (minimum wage).

If the pension amount is less than the PMS, it is provided in the form of the difference between the PMS and the amount of accrued pension benefits. The surcharge can be financed from the regional or federal budget. Unfortunately, Working pensioners are not entitled to social supplement, since their income also takes into account wages in addition to pensions.

February 20, 2019 V. Putin ordered to review the methodology for indexing pensions, not exceeding the living wage of a pensioner. Previously, indexation concerned only the basic pension amount, which caused the size of the social supplement to decrease, but the amount actually paid to the pensioner did not change. The President proposed indexing pensions above the subsistence level, that is, bring the pension amount to the PMP, and then index it by the appropriate coefficient. You can read more about the President's instructions.

Until the end of 2019, each region has its own methodology for calculating PMP. However, from 2020, unifying calculations will be introduced. In connection with these changes, in some regions, the size of the PMP in 2020 (and therefore the size of the minimum pension) may either increase or decrease. But pensioners should not worry about this: according to the law, the amount of the already accrued pension, taking into account the social supplement they can't downgrade.

What is considered the minimum pension in Russia?

Social supplement to pensions for non-working pensioners in 2019

If the amount of income (material security) of a pensioner is less than the minimum monthly wage in the region, he is assigned a social supplement. It was introduced in 2010 with the aim of improving the material well-being of low-income pensioners. Only pensioners who meet the following set of conditions can count on additional payment:

the pensioner does not work after receiving his pension;
lives on the territory of the Russian Federation;
has a total income less than the amount of PMP.

Depending on whether or not the size of the regional PMS exceeds the value of the pensioner’s subsistence minimum established for the country as a whole (in 2019 it is 8,846 rubles), the pensioner may be set one of two social supplements towards retirement:

federal— if the PMP in the region is less than the federal one (paid through the Pension Fund);
regional- if the established regional PMP is greater than the federal one (paid by the Social Security authorities).

It happens that after the announced indexation of pensions, pensioners do not notice any increase. As a rule, social surcharge is to blame for this:

The fact is that during the year only the pension size itself is indexed, and the PMP level for establishing the minimum pension does not change throughout the year. In this regard, after the next indexation, pensioners continue to receive a pension in the amount of the regional PMP (in this case, the amount of the social supplement simply decreases). However, on behalf of V. Putin, this injustice was eliminated, and now pensions are indexed.

It should be noted that the social supplement to the pension is established only on an application basis. This is usually done immediately at the time of registration of the pension after calculating its size. However, in practice, sometimes the pension is less than the PMP! In this case, the pensioner you need to apply yourself with a corresponding application to the Pension Fund of Russia or Social Security at the place of residence.

Minimum pension in Russia from January 1, 2019

In January 2019, the minimum wage was increased to 11,280 rubles. In this regard, there were many expectations about raising pensions. However, they were all unfounded - from January 1, minimum pensions in Russia increased for another reason.

The minimum pension is related only to the pensioner's subsistence level (PLS), but not to the minimum subsistence minimum for the working-age population. Increasing the minimum wage does not affect the size of pension payments in any way, since this value sets the minimum level of income only for working population.

Let us remind you that pensions can be increased only in 3 cases:

Due to indexing by the coefficient established by the Government:
- insurance (labor) pensions - from January 1, 2019 increased by 7.05%;
- state, including social pensions - from April 1, 2019 they were increased by 2.0%.
Due to recalculation according to pension legislation:
- for working pensioners - they increase annually from August 1 on a non-declaration basis (in accordance with the insurance premiums paid);
- at any time at the request of the pension recipient, if there are grounds.
By increasing the regional PMP, which is carried out annually from January 1 (in this case, other things being equal, the amount of social supplement for non-working pensioners, whose pension is less than the minimum subsistence level established in the region, increases).

Thus, from January 1, 2019, pensions were increased only due to indexation by 7.05%, and not due to an increase in the minimum wage. As a result, pensioners received This amount of additional payment is determined relative to the average size of the insurance pension in the Russian Federation (RUB 14,414 at the end of 2018). Accordingly, those who receive the minimum pension have not experienced a significant increase in payments since 01/01/2019.

Current legislation provides for the possibility of receiving state pensions for citizens who have retired.

According to statistics, 26% of Russians receive pensions.

The state government constantly monitors the amount of payments paid to the population.

Specialists from the Office of Russian Statistics regularly monitor the average level of payments by region.

The legislative framework

All nuances regarding the provision of pensions to the country’s population are strictly controlled by current state legislative documents. They determine the categories of citizens who can receive pensions, the amount of payments and the conditions under which they are provided.

The fundamental bills are:

– determines the right of every citizen who has reached a certain age to receive state support in the form of a pension payment;
– contains data regarding the conditions under which the pension is paid and the procedure for receiving it;
– determines all issues regarding compulsory pension insurance for Russian citizens;
– records information on how the personal system for recording insurance payments is implemented;
– determines the procedure for receiving additional pension benefits from non-state funds for citizens who have retired.

Basic Concepts

It is important to understand that the benefit amount is influenced by a number of factors. However, anyone can calculate their future pension, which is not so difficult.

Initially, you need to understand that the assignment of pension benefits is carried out not only for old age.

The legislation defines a number of reasons why state support may be assigned:

Due to incapacity– assigned to citizens who have been assigned one of the disability groups by the medical and social commission;
By old age– assigned to citizens who have reached a certain age (60 years for males, 55 for females);
For the loss of a breadwinner– paid for disabled citizens, or children under eighteen years of age who have lost their sole breadwinner;
Social benefits– are intended for all persons who do not have sufficient work experience or do not have it at all.

Anyone can calculate their future pension, which is not so difficult.

Average pension in Russia in 2020

Current legislation determines the minimum amount of benefits approved at the federal level every year. State bodies cannot accrue pension payments that are less than those established by the Government.

A certain amount cannot be changed during the period for which it was approved.

The amount of pension payments is directly affected by the amount of official work experience of the pensioner, during which the employer made regular contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. The government agency maintains personal savings accounts of citizens, calculates and accrues benefits for pensioners.

The state government tries to maintain the average pension at a level corresponding to the subsistence level. This is required so that the number of low-income citizens in need of government assistance decreases.

From the beginning of 2020, the size of pension benefits was indexed, which increased the average pension in Russia to 14,100 rubles.

When determining the amount of payments, government authorities take into account:

Inflation rate;
Economic condition of the state;
Changes in prices for vital goods.

Since the beginning of [y] year, the amount of pension benefits has been increased to 14,100 rubles.

By region

The final amount of the pension benefit is set by the municipal authorities of individual regions.

Statistics on the average pension for some regions of Russia are shown in the table below.

Region	Living wage (rubles)	Average pension benefit (rubles)	Ratio of pension to cost of living (%)
Tambov district	4802	10300	214.5
Astrakhan district	5382	11400	211.82
Murmansk district	8840	15150	171.4

Komi Republic	7798	14678	188.23

To calculate the specific amount of your pension, contact the nearest branch of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, or the Multifunctional Center (MFC).

By profession

Current legislation determines different amounts of pension benefits for employees who work in certain professions.

Data on average pension levels for 2020 for persons working in certain areas of activity are shown in the table below.

Category of citizens	Average pension size (rubles)
Education staff	9500
Medical workers (including benefits for junior medical staff)	13300
Mining activity. The final amount may vary depending on the region in which the citizen worked.	12000
Law enforcement officers who do not have any state awards or officer ranks	15000
Judges	130000 - 140000
Citizens working in government agencies	80000
Military personnel serving in high-risk environments (test pilots, reconnaissance officers at combat points, etc.)	85000

Accrual conditions

State legislation establishes that the amount of pension payments directly depends on the availability of insurance coverage, its duration and the amount of official earnings from which the employer makes regular contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

According to the adopted bills, every year, until 2025, the requirements for citizens who are going for a well-deserved retirement in old age will increase.

The procedure for changing requirements is shown in the table below.

Year of retirement	Required insurance experience (years)	Minimum IPC amount to qualify for an insurance pension	Limit value of annual IPC
			With a funded pension tariff of 0%	With a funded pension tariff of 6%
2015	6	6.6	7.39	4.62
2016	7	9	7.83	4.89
2017	8	11.4	8.26	5.16
2018	9	13.8	8.7	5.43
2019	10	16.2	9.13	5.71
2020	11	18.6	9.57	5.98
2021	12	21	10	6.25
2022	13	23.4	10	6.25
2023	14	25.8	10	6.25
2024	15	28.2	10	6.25
2025	15	30	10	6.25

The introduction of a gradual increase will encourage citizens to work more in order to obtain a sufficient amount of insurance coverage and an individual pension coefficient (IPC) to receive a pension.

When calculating old-age benefits, only officially registered income is taken into account.

The procedure for calculating the average pension for different categories of pensioners in Russia

The legislation defines separate procedures for different methods of calculating pension benefits. The main importance is played by the official length of service, the duration of which affects the majority of the benefit.

However, additional parameters will be taken into account in the calculation.

Citizens living in the Far North and equivalent territories who work in difficult climatic conditions can count on an increase in the form of a regional coefficient.

The final size of the pension payment directly depends on several factors. That is why the pension is calculated individually for each citizen of the country.

Among the indicators influencing the amount of payment are:

Seniority– only those periods of time are taken into account when the retired citizen worked officially, and his employer regularly transferred money to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation;
Salary amount– the amount transferred by the employer for his employee to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation directly depends on the employee’s monthly salary. The higher the official earnings, the larger the payment to the Pension Fund will be made by the employer;
Length of service(calculated only for some professions).

The final size of the pension payment directly depends on several factors

For incapacitated citizens

For persons who have a disability group assigned by the medical and social commission, the amount of the benefit will directly depend on the category of disability, as shown in the table below.

For persons who have been diagnosed with a disability since childhood, benefits are provided in other amounts, as shown in the table below.

The average benefit for children with disabilities in the country is 12,300 rubles.

For military personnel

The amounts paid to military pensioners differ significantly from the pensions of ordinary citizens. As of 2020, the average pension benefits for military personnel are 26,000 rubles.

The final payment amount directly depends on the position in which the serviceman retires.

The expected payments are shown in the table below.

The final payment amount directly depends on the position in which the serviceman retires.

For veterans

For 2020, the average pension benefit in the country for veterans is 38,000 rubles. Federal Law No. 166 (as amended on December 29, 2015) defines categories of citizens who have the right to receive two pension benefits at once - upon reaching a certain age and upon incapacity.

These are:

Military personnel who, while performing their duties, were injured or suffered from an occupational disease;
Citizens who have the honorary award “Resident of besieged Leningrad”, for whom the medical and social commission has established a group of incapacity;
Veterans of the Great Patriotic War who have one of the disability groups.

Each of the veterans who belong to one of the above categories can apply for an old-age benefit, which is calculated individually, and a disability pension, which has the following amounts:

Amount of average social benefits

The rate of preferential payments for citizens of the Russian Federation directly depends on inflation, which affects the rise in prices for vital goods.

For 2020, there was a slight recalculation of social benefits, establishing the average amount of such payments at 8,800 rubles.

This is a pension expected for citizens, which is accrued if there is insufficient work experience or its absence.

The following average amounts of pension payments in the country are calculated for 2020:

Upon reaching retirement age– 14100 rubles;
By disability– 7900 rubles;
For the loss of a breadwinner– 73,000 rubles (the smallest pension).

According to statistics, about 30% of pensioners receive an average pension payment.

Conclusion

The state government constantly monitors and regulates the size of pensions for all categories of citizens. The average level of pension benefits in the country is calculated to determine the economic situation in the state.

The final pension amount is calculated individually for each citizen. Monthly benefits are issued after submitting the corresponding list of documents to the Pension Fund.

To clarify all the details, please contact the local branches of the Pension Funds of the Russian Federation.

In 2020, the increase in pension payments will be felt by several groups of the population:

From January 1, insurance pensions for non-working citizens were indexed by 6.6%. The growth of payments in the case of a particular person depends on two factors: the amount of earnings during the period of employment, as well as length of service. On average, in 2020 pensions will increase by 1 thousand rubles.
Payments for working pensioners will increase in August. The size of the increase is individual: contributions sent by the employer to the Pension Fund are decisive.

Pension indexation in 2016 - 2019

After the record indexation of 2015, when payments increased by 11.4%, the increase in pensions occurred at a low pace:

In 2016, for the first time, it was decided not to index pensions for working citizens. In February, only unemployed pensioners experienced a 4% increase in payments.
In 2017, the increase occurred twice: in February, the fixed payment to non-working citizens was indexed by 5.8%, and in April, the insurance pension for both working and non-working pensioners increased by 0.38%.
In 2018, payments for non-working pensioners were increased by 3.7% - this is the lowest figure in previous years. The moratorium on indexation of payments for working pensioners continued to apply.
In 2019, the indexation rate is 7.05% and is thus twice the inflation rate. Social payments from the Pension Fund will increase by 4.3%, and state and social pensions by 2%.

In 2016-2019 Russian pensioners received minimal bonuses: the government explains this by systemic problems in the economy, which emerged due to the collapse of oil prices and the introduction of international sanctions. The lack of funds in the treasury affected the amount of payments. In ruble equivalent their size was:

The state associates a further increase in payments with an increase in the retirement age and, consequently, a decreasing burden on the state budget. Thus, already in April 2020, the second, after January, indexation will be carried out taking into account income from the reform. And in subsequent years, pensions in Russia are planned to be indexed higher than inflation - by an average of 1,000 rubles. in year.

Average pension in the Russian Federation in 2020

The average pension size in Russia in 2019 according to Rosstat was 14143 rubles As part of the 2019 pension reform, the government decided to increase pension payments, including for working pensioners. The new pension amount will be calculated using the increased coefficient. To compensate for spending from the state budget on increasing pension payments, the government decided to raise the retirement age.

The size of pension provision worries many Russian citizens. This issue became especially relevant after the reform in 2015, when the pension was divided into insurance and funded. In addition, a government resolution was issued to raise the retirement age. As part of the changes carried out, the problem of the minimum pension is of interest to many Russians. Let's try to understand the intricacies of this issue.

Features of pension formation

Despite a number of changes made to the process of formation and calculation of pension benefits, the system continues to remain quite transparent. The fundamental factor here is the emergence of the right to an insurance pension.

The following categories of citizens can apply for old-age pension insurance:

those who have achieved or have the right to early retirement;
, taking into account the annual increase in retirement age by 6 months;
having insurance experience of at least 15 years;
have accumulated 30 or more points.

These conditions are the general grounds for receiving an old-age pension. In addition, the right to an insurance pension may arise upon receipt of disability or. Such pensions are assigned from the moment the grounds arise, provided that the citizen submits supporting documents.

How to calculate the amount of your pension

Every citizen can calculate their insurance pension independently. To do this, it is enough to know the formula used by the Pension Fund and substitute current figures into it.

The calculation formula itself is as follows: SP=X*Y+Z, where:

SP - the final amount of the insurance pension;
X - the total number of points earned during work;
Y is the value of the point at the time of application;
Z is the guaranteed part, which is due to every citizen even in the absence of insurance experience.

Two points need to be clarified here:

the cost of a pension point for the current day is 81.49 rubles;
guaranteed amount - 4,982 rubles.

Both values are subject to mandatory annual indexation, which is guaranteed by the state.

Important! To independently calculate the amount of your future pension, you can use an online calculator, which is freely available on the Pension Fund website. The system tool takes into account the key parameters that are used to calculate pensions and produces the most accurate result.

Minimum value

As the name suggests, the minimum pension is considered to be a certain amount, less than which pensioners cannot receive.

What is the minimum wage

Let's start with the fact that the very concept of minimum pension provision is absent in the current legislation. It follows that the minimum amount of pension payments is not established by federal legislation.

These amounts are set at the regional level, and according to the government, they should not be lower than the subsistence level of people of retirement age in a particular subject of the Federation. The cost of living for a pensioner is set by the leadership of the region or region, based on the characteristics of the region.

How is the minimum pension determined?

In general terms, the assigned minimum wage cannot be lower than the minimum subsistence level established in the region. If this condition is not met, the pensioner is entitled to equalize these values.

Additional payment is made subject to two conditions:

the amount of the pension received is below the subsistence level;
The pensioner is not engaged in labor or entrepreneurial activities.

Here it is necessary to clarify that the pensioner’s financial security covers not only the paid pension. All benefits and other income items are taken into account here, for example, discounted travel on public transport or subsidies for housing and communal services. In this case, intangible benefits are subject to recalculation in monetary terms.

What you need to know about indexing

The term “indexation” refers to the recalculation of pension benefits taking into account inflation and rising prices for certain categories of consumer goods. Indexation is carried out annually. In particular, insurance pensions were increased from January 1, social pensions - from April 1, 2019.

If we evaluate changes in pension provision after indexation on the national average, the amounts looked as follows:

social pension - 9,062 rubles (an increase of 2.9%);
insurance pension - 14,151 rubles (an increase of 3.7%).

Important! Indexation is carried out only for the amount of pensions paid and does not affect the cost of living in the regions. In addition, only pensions of non-working pensioners are indexed. For citizens of retirement age who continue to carry out labor or commercial activities, recalculation will be made after termination of work, taking into account all increases for the past period.

Peculiarities of pension provision by region

After the indexation carried out in April, the minimum pension for a non-working pensioner in Moscow is 17,500 rubles. To receive such amounts, a pensioner must live in the capital for at least 10 years.

In other regions the amounts are somewhat more modest. For example, pensioners in St. Petersburg cannot receive less than 8,817 rubles; for residents of Samara, the minimum wage is set at 7,750 rubles, and for Omsk - 9,057.

When calculating the minimum pension provision, the following factors are taken into account:

salary before retirement;
age;
insurance experience;
the amount of contributions to the Pension Fund.

Legislative norms adopted by the regional leadership also play an important role.

Watch a video about the minimum pension in Russia

14 September 2018, 14:31 Jan 7, 2020 01:07

A pension in Russia is a form of state support after obtaining a certain work experience, loss of ability to work, or the occurrence of an insured event. This software in the Russian Federation operates on the basis of personalized records, with the help of which information about people’s work experience is recorded.

Russian pensions are of the following types:

state (the amount is paid to the citizen from the state budget);
mandatory (once the employee reaches old age, transferred to a person with a disability and a minor citizen who has lost his breadwinner);
non-state (payment made under an agreement with a non-state fund).

The average pension in the country with conditions for registration by categories of people is regulated by Federal Law. It is impossible to say who has the largest pension in Russia, since the size is influenced by several factors.

Russian pensioner in one picture:

State pension

Pensions in Russia, issued from state support, are provided in the form of funds transferred to people and allowing them to return finances lost due to certain circumstances.

Pension savings in this case are:

social (for the able-bodied category of citizens: citizens who have reached the age of pension payments; persons with disabilities of groups 1-3, this also includes disabled minors; children under 21 years of age studying full-time who have lost parental care; representatives of residents of the Far North aged 10 years earlier than expected in other regions);
by years of service (paid for former employees of government departments; military; astronauts, etc.);
preferential (paid for persons who suffered damage after a man-made incident and radiation emissions);
for military personnel who participated in hostilities. This also includes persons living in Leningrad during the Siege;
for the loss of a breadwinner.

Every year, pensions, like salaries, are indexed. This year the amount of payments is increasing by 2.6% in accordance with the increase in the cost of living. The pension is recalculated at the end of spring.

Mandatory pension insurance

This type of insurance is a state system that allows you to compensate for wages lost after an insured event occurs.

Mandatory insurance includes:

old age pension insurance;
insurance of pension payments after receiving disability;
insurance benefits provided after the loss of a breadwinner;
fixed payments to pension accruals for insurance;
funded pension;
one-time pension payments;
urgent pension transfers;
pension accruals passing to heirs;
funeral payments.

An old-age pension is offered to citizens who have reached the retirement age. These citizens must have the required work experience and total points. A pension for citizens with disabilities is provided after receiving an official certificate from a medical institution. The first, second or third group is acceptable. A disabled person who is left without the guardianship of insured citizens or a citizen can receive funding after the death of a breadwinner.

Early and funded pension

Early pension can be paid:

men who have reached the age of at least 55 years and women 50 years of age who have worked in types of work with difficult conditions. These include aircraft drivers, seamstresses, mine workers, etc.;
women who are mothers of more than five children;
disability pensions are paid to mothers of sick children;
residents and workers of the Far North;
seriously injured during work.

A funded pension is a payment made every month until the death of a citizen. These amounts will be formed from contributions made by employers and citizens themselves, as well as through investment profits.

The fixed-term, open-ended and one-time type of financing of funded pension provision is determined. The citizen must indicate the duration of urgent payments, but not less than 10 years . Indefinitely, amounts are determined based on average life expectancy. Currently this time is 240 months. To calculate the amount received, you will need to divide the total volume by all months. A one-time payment is made in a single transfer. In this case, the pensioner is entitled to the entire amount at once.

Today, the issue of the funded pension segment is frozen until the end of the year. All amounts received from the employer are included in the insurance amount.

Pension amounts

Why are pensions small in Russia? Watch the episode of the program “Right? YES”:

The largest pensions are personal. Who is eligible to receive them:

Civil servants from the admin. apparatus of Russia. Payments are made on an individual basis. These citizens can be paid up to 100 thousand rubles. These are the maximum pension amounts.
Workers of large commercial enterprises. In addition to the pension, a bonus from the company is transferred.
Veterans of Labor, heroes of Russia, and combat veterans receive the highest pension ceiling. According to unofficial data, they can receive up to 50 thousand rubles.
A military retiree can receive the maximum pension for services rendered to the state while working. Their pension may be about 40 thousand rubles.

Last year, the average pension accrual was about 12 thousand rubles. But this is an individual question, since the average statistical charges in the cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg, for example, are 15-18 thousand rubles.

Low pensions are calculated depending on the cost of living in the region. This amount is affected by housing and communal services payments and the consumer basket. For example, the minimum pension in the Kursk region. is 7039 rubles, and in Murmansk 12.5 thousand.

The picture shows the average pension in 2018 (by month):

Since 2017, the average monthly pension in the country for pensioners with disabilities has been 13 thousand rubles. Today this figure has become higher – 13.6 thousand. The maximum old-age pension will be determined depending on the type of activity of the person and the region where he lives. Indexation will take place in February at 3.8%.

In the next two years, it is planned to increase the provision for pensioners:

2019 – by 4%.
2020 – by another 4%.

This means that by the end of 2020 the average amount in the country will reach 15 thousand rubles.

Look at the picture for the size of pensions by year:

How are payments made to military and government employees? structures?

Last year, the Legislation contained changes in the age level of citizens that would be required to qualify for pensions for civil servants and officials. The value increases annually by six months until it reaches the ages of 65 and 63 years, for male and female employees.

Civil servants (retirees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, head of the city administration, etc.) apply for payments based on minimum length of service. This experience is 15 years with subsequent increases.

The amount of pensions for officers depends on their rank and length of service:

The lowest level will receive approximately 23 thousand rubles.
Major on average - 25 thousand rubles.
A lieutenant colonel's pension will be 30 thousand rubles.
Generals receive up to 50 thousand rubles.

The large or average pension will be calculated taking into account average earnings for the last 12 months of service, as well as age-related insurance premiums. Pension funding can be obtained based on the following formula: 0.45 * salary – insurance coverage. If production exceeds the norm, an addition will be made in the form of three percent of wages for additional working years.

Non-state pensions

Non-state pension funds are organizations that are responsible for providing for individuals after retirement after insurance has been taken out. Such institutions aim to accumulate funding for citizens, invest, assign and pay funded pension elements.

NPFs have positive aspects:

citizens can regulate payments in size;
you receive both a state pension and funding from your own savings;
legal regulations are observed and government reports are provided;
it will be possible to transfer money to another fund;
funds can be inherited.
