Wondering what the size will be pension payments in 2019 - find out what the minimum pension in Russia will be from January 1, because this indicator clearly demonstrates changes in the amount of accruals for the majority of pensioners.

Recipients of pensions in the Russian Federation are not only elderly people, but also disabled people, orphans, residents of northern regions and other categories of citizens who do not have the opportunity to earn money. We propose to understand how the income of these people depends on the size of the minimum pension and what to expect in the coming 2019.

How is the minimum pension calculated?

The basic rule for calculating pensions is: “The minimum allowance due to pensioners cannot be less than the minimum subsistence level (ML)!”

This parameter is determined annually by the law on the federal budget. The document regulates the size of the PM for different groups of citizens:

• people who have achieved retirement age;
• children;
• disabled people;
• working population.

Thus, in the first half of 2018, this indicator for pensioners was set at 8,762 rubles. (Federal Law dated December 5, 2017 No. 362-FZ), and already in the second half of the year it was revised and amounted to 11,280 rubles.

At the same time, the PM is established both for each region and for the country as a whole - to determine the minimum threshold of material support.

In accordance with these data, their financial support is determined. Minimum size pensions in 2019 will be adjusted in accordance with the figures laid down in the budget law, which will be released in December 2018.

1. The main number of pensioners are elderly people who have reached the age threshold and become recipients of an insurance pension, or, in other words, an old-age pension. This allowance depends on length of service and the amount of pension contributions. Insurance payments consist of a fixed amount and pension points. Its size cannot be less than the pensioner’s minimum monthly allowance determined for a given region - in this case, the recipient writes an application to the Pension Fund office and is awarded an additional payment from the federal or regional budget.
2. A social pension is awarded to citizens whose length of service is less than the required number of years (in 2019, this figure must be at least 10 years). In addition, recipients of this type of payment are disabled people, orphans, disabled citizens who have lost their breadwinner. The amount of social financial security also cannot be lower than the subsistence level for a given category (adult citizen, child, elderly person).

Last news

The main news regarding the provision of elderly people remains the increase in the retirement age by 5 years from 01/01/2019.

This bill has already been approved in the State Duma. The first step to a new pension system There will be a gradual increase in the length of work experience. Upon completion of the reform, this threshold will reach 65 years for men and 60 for women.

This news was unpleasant news for the majority of working citizens and acquired a wide social resonance. However, politicians are convinced that this decision is dictated by necessity - otherwise by 2025 there would be one pensioner for every working person. The reform also has positive aspects - according to officials, in this case, state funding for the Pension Fund will no longer be needed, and the size of pension payments can be significantly increased.

The Presidential decree on indexing payments to senior citizens above inflation was important for budget formation. Following this course, officials planned to increase the average insurance pension in 2019 by 7% (in 2018 they increased by only 3.7%). Finance Minister Anton Siluanov announced such figures, and Labor Minister Topilin subsequently commented, noting that the average allowance will increase by 1,000 rubles. per month.

The head of the Pension Fund Drozdov believes that additional funding will not be required. Moreover, officials promise a similar increase in subsequent years. However, it will be possible to judge what the minimum pension will be in 2019 only in December 2018, when the budget law for the new financial period is adopted.

Increase in pensions in 2019

An increase of 7% will affect insurance payments to senior citizens; social benefits will still correspond to the minimum subsistence level. The average increase, which should be 1,000 rubles/month, is a guideline for the average pension in the country. In 2018 it is 14,400 thousand, in 2019 it will be 15,400 if the promises of officials are fulfilled.

Important: the 7% indexation will only affect non-working elderly people. After a working pensioner goes on vacation, the amount of his benefit will be increased in accordance with all past indexations.

The government still cannot please working older people. Their insurance benefits are not subject to indexation. It rises only by the amount of pension points, which are recalculated annually by Pension Fund employees. It is worth considering that the maximum number of points per year is no more than 3 units, which on average gives an increase in pension of about 200 rubles. However, President Vladimir Putin said that the issue of indexing pensions for working citizens is not closed. According to him, people with minimal income and public sector workers especially need an increase.

Indexation in 2 stages

An increase in the average monthly payment by 7% is planned in 2 stages:

1. increase by the amount of inflation from February 1, according to the law. Inflation is expected to be around 3%;
2. an increase from April 1 by an amount depending on cash receipts to the Pension Fund in the current period - about 4% are planned in 2019.

New rules for calculating PMP

The Ministry of Labor has found that the calculation of the cost of living in many regions is done incorrectly. The difference with the actual PM indicator was found in more than half of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and in some it was more than 15%.

In 70 regions, the PMP is set higher than the actual one - in favor of older people, but in 14 regions this figure is lower than the actual one. In connection with these data, the Ministry of Labor initiated the development of legal norms that will regulate the new procedure for determining PM.

According to this methodology, the actual level of subsistence minimum for the 2nd quarter of the previous period will be taken as the basis for the living wage. That is, in 2019 it will be a value corresponding to the PM for the period from April to June 2018. This indicator is calculated according to Rosstat data on the cost of the consumer basket in the region.

Important: in those regions where the PM is overestimated compared to the actual one, this indicator will not decrease - pensioners will not lose anything. But in regions where the subsistence minimum is lower than the real one, the amount will be increased.

In light of the negative trends in the Russian economy that have lasted for several years, citizens are in no hurry to increase their consumer baskets - it is obvious that the crisis has hit the wallets of Russians with tangible force. It is known that the state will again have gaps in 2018 - and, in connection with this, a number of analysts have expressed their disappointing forecasts regarding raising the standards of social payments. This topic worries Russian pensioners most of all. What will the pension be in 2018 and are there prerequisites for increasing the minimum benefit? Let's consider the main theses.

How do they promise to increase the minimum pension from January 1, 2018?

“Minimum pension” is an absolutely conditional term in the legislation of the Russian Federation, and implies the amount that is paid monthly to people whose length of service and age meet pension standards, including those who do not receive other types of pension benefits.

The amount of the subsistence minimum is calculated from the parameters for the current year, the level of price growth for, as well as other indicators of the economic state of the state. In each region of the Russian Federation, the standard of living wage has different values, and if the minimum pension does not reach its level, the deficiency is subsidized by funds from the regional treasury.

The issue of the minimum in 2018 should be differentiated by categories of accrual for citizens:

An insurance pension (by age) presupposes retirement for women after 55 years and for men after 60 years, with at least 7 years (until 2024, this standard will increase to 15 years). 8,703 rubles – this is the minimum that beneficiaries of an insurance pension can count on in 2018. From January 1 of the new year, pensioners in Moscow are promised to be paid twice as much - 17,500 rubles.

Social pension is benefits paid regularly to those citizens who do not receive insurance. monthly payments but need state support for certain reasons (in case of disability, loss of a breadwinner, old age in absence). In 2018, the government promises to index this type of benefits by 3.7%. And from April of the new year, the size of the social pension is expected to be 8,742 rubles.

The minimum is also indexed at 3.7% insurance pension, and they will do this not in February, as a rule, but from January 1. But for working pensioners, their benefits will remain unchanged until August 2018 - from this month, pensions will be recalculated taking into account the increase in the value of their work points.

Minimum size Russian pension in 2018 will be calculated using the formula:

Fixed amount + insurance premium,

where the last value is sum of individual points * cost. Instead of 78.58 rubles for the cost of a point in 2017, it is planned to fix this figure at 81.49 rubles.

How does the minimum cost of living for a pensioner differ across Russian regions?

The first wave of widespread increases is planned in January, but not all pensioners will receive the same amount, even if they have the same achievements in terms of length of service. In addition, starting from the new year, local budgets can introduce additional charges to their residents. How will the size of minimum pensions differ in Russian regions?
As already noted, it is Moscow residents who can claim one of the highest pensions in the country - their size is set at 17,500 thousand.

The highest level of minimum pension benefit is in the Central District - 9.5-9.6 thousand rubles. recorded in the Voronezh, Kostroma, Smolensk regions, and the lowest - in the Kursk and Bryansk regions, here the minimum pension does not exceed 7.5 thousand rubles.

The figures will be higher in the Northwestern District - for example, in the Murmansk and Arkhangelsk regions the minimum pension will be more than 12.5 thousand rubles, and in the Nenets Autonomous District - more than 18 thousand rubles. At the same time, in St. Petersburg, the Leningrad and Novgorod regions, there are some of the lowest minimum wages in the region - about 8.8 thousand rubles.

In the Southern District, pensioners from the Volgograd and Rostov regions can count on the highest “minimum wage”; here the benefit amount is fixed at 9.4 thousand rubles. At the same time, residents of Adygea and Kalmykia receive the smallest amounts in the region - less than 8.7 thousand rubles.

About 9-9.3 thousand rubles - this is the “minimum wage” for residents of the Volga Federal District in Udmurtia, Tatarstan, and the Kirov region. The Saratov and Orenburg regions are an order of magnitude behind them - here the minimum pension is 7.7 thousand rubles.

Quite high rates of minimum pensions are recorded in the Ural District. In the Yamalo-Nenets and Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrugs, pensioners live on 12-14 thousand rubles, while in the Tyumen and Chelyabinsk regions the pension will be much lower - about 9.3 thousand rubles.

The highest minimum pension in the Siberian District is 9.7 thousand rubles. recorded in the Republic of Buryatia, Trans-Baikal Territory, Novosibirsk Region. But in Kemerovo, the lowest pension figures barely reach 8.8 thousand rubles.

The highest levels of pensions are intended for residents of the Far Eastern Federal District. In Yakutia, Kamchatka, Chukotka, pensioners receive benefits in the range of 17-21 thousand rubles. At the same time, the lowest figures are observed in the Amur region and Primorsky Krai - about 9.6 thousand rubles.

But in the North Caucasus Federal District, pensioners receive benefits - the lowest in the country. In Karachay-Cherkessia, North Ossetia, Ingushetia, and Stavropol Territory, these payments are in the range of 7.6-8 thousand rubles.

Minimum pension in 2018 by region of Russia: table

Before applying for benefits, many citizens are trying to find out what the minimum old-age pension is in 2019.

Old age to a minimum

The concept of a “minimum pension” does not appear in Russian legislation, since the “minimum salary” at the end of a working career is determined by various factors: the level of inflation, the general economic situation, etc.

The state promises that the minimum old-age pension should not be below the subsistence level. In 2018, the average amount for pensioners (!) across the country was 8,615 rubles. It is expected that in 2019 the average cost of living for pensioners in Russia will rise to 8,846 rubles. At the same time, regions individually determine the lower threshold based on the subsistence minimum established by them and can make regional additional payments.

Thus, the minimum old-age pension in Moscow in 2019 is no less than 12,115 rubles. The rules apply to non-working pensioners who have lived in the capital for at least 10 years. At the same time, the capital’s authorities pay extra to those Muscovites whose pension does not reach 12,115 rubles. after indexing.

Similar systems operate in other regions, but local authorities do not always find opportunities to support pensioners. It is best to find out what minimum old-age pension is guaranteed by the state in the regional branch of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, taking into account the specific situation.

Let us remind you that it was decided to index pension payments to non-working pensioners from January 1, 2019 by 7.05%.

Another relevant question is: “What is the minimum amount of old-age pension if there is no length of service”? With absence length of service or shortage of the above quantity is prescribed social pension. Since the beginning of 2019, its size is 5108.24 rubles. From April 1, 2019, the social pension will be indexed - 5304.57 rubles. This type of old-age benefit begins to be paid with a five-year delay after the person reaches retirement age.

Many questions arise today about indexing pension payments. What kind of pensions will there be, will existing benefits be indexed? These questions are very relevant for large quantity of people.

What will be the minimum pension in 2018?

Various media sources provide vague and even sometimes contradictory information about what the minimum pension will be in 2018.

Using government documents, it is already possible to name specific data on the increase in pensions, as well as the timing and amount of indexation of pension amounts.

Minimum pension in 2018

The accrual of funds will be carried out gradually. For retirees continuing their labor activity, no additional payments are planned.

The basis for recalculating minimum pensions is the initial subsistence level, determined at a point in time and for different regions. If there is a lower figure, an additional payment occurs from local budget resources. The copayment amount is the shortfall to the standard minimum.

Minimum old age pension in 2018

The average level of minimum pension payments is 8 thousand 540 rubles. In the coming year, the level of pensions will increase to 8 thousand 703 rubles.

The level of minimum pensions varies slightly in Russian regions. This depends on the characteristics of a particular region and its financial plan capabilities. So the minimum pension in Bashkiria in 2018 is 8,320 thousand rubles. And the minimum pension in the Moscow region in 2018 will be slightly higher than in other Russian regions, but below the capital’s level.

Minimum pension Rostov region in 2018 it will be up to 8 thousand 500 rubles, and the minimum pension in Tatarstan in 2018 will increase to 8.232 thousand rubles.

The minimum pension in Novosibirsk in 2018 will be 8.5 thousand rubles. However, regional authorities want to help their pensioners by raising the minimum wage by another 400 rubles.

The minimum pension in Chelyabinsk in 2018 is planned to increase to 8,586 thousand rubles. And the minimum pension in Voronezh in 2018 will increase to 8 thousand 390 rubles.

Throughout Russian Federation payments will not differ much from each other, but everywhere there will be compliance with the required subsistence level.

Increase in the minimum pension in 2018

During 2018, pension payments are planned to be increased three times in stages. The recalculation will be made for each person, taking into account the increasing percentage of the inflation rate in the country as a whole and in each region in particular. Let's look at the most frequently asked questions.

• How to find out how much the minimum pension will be in 2018?
  

  The government of the country stipulates that global inflation processes this year will not exceed 4-4.5%. Therefore, a fixed rate for 2018-2019 will soon be introduced at 4%.

• What are the features of pension indexation in the coming year?

There are some differences in the accrued amounts for pensioners of different categories.

• For working pensioners. Let us say right away that indexation will not be accrued for this category. However, with summer period points will be recalculated, guaranteeing a solid increase in the future.
• For disabled pensioners. People who are forced to leave their jobs for any reason are provided with an increase of 3.7% of the available pension payment. These funds will be accrued starting January 1, 2018.
• For invalids. Social types payments will be significantly increased. The increase to the existing benefit will be 4.1%. However, any types of accruals will begin only in the spring of the 18th year.
• Military pensions. For military pensioners, payments are expected to increase by 4%, every year. There will also be additional payments for rank and for work in the prosecutor's office or investigative committee. These additional payments will begin in February of the coming year.

The minimum indexation percentage should be 1.9%, rising to 4%.

Considering the ever-increasing level of inflation throughout the country, we can say that such a small increase will not significantly improve the lives of our pensioners, but even such a meager gift is much better than no gift at all.

There are no pensioners in Russia with a pension in their region of residence below the subsistence level. The amount of surcharge for low-income citizens depends on the lowest level of income. The authorities of individual regions determine the amount of financial support for older people. The size of pension payments is carefully adjusted by the authorities, several times in one year. By latest changes The minimum pension in Moscow will increase in 2018, the old-age supplement will affect not only native Muscovites, but also the majority of non-working pensioners in other regions of Russia.

Social pension in Moscow

For the capital, the cost of living for a pensioner is set at 11,561 rubles. This is the minimum Moscow pension, taking into account social supplement by region. It is already known that it is proposed to increase the cost of living for people of retirement age, which will increase the pension by 255 rubles, and it will amount to 11,816 rubles. This will be the minimum pension in Moscow in 2018.

This minimum amount is established for all Moscow pensioners, those registered at their territorial location or place of residence total term less than 10 years. For the capital's old-timers, there is a specific amount that corresponds to the City Social Standard of Minimum Income.

Residents for less than 10 years at the place of registration

A person who, upon reaching retirement age, has lived in the capital for less than 10 years is considered a visiting pensioner, and he is not entitled to receive a Moscow bonus. For such citizens, pension payments are calculated based on the lowest cost of living in their region. If old man registered as an official resident of the capital for a period of less than ten years, he will receive only the approved subsistence minimum.

Registered in Moscow for over 10 years

The minimum in Moscow for such a pensioner will apply when he has lived in the main city of Russia for ten or more years. To receive an insurance pension payment, a person must have eight or more years of insurance experience. Temporary registration does not affect changes in the amount of the subsidy; permanent registration is required. The period of Moscow registration with the districts equated to it is summed up.

How the minimum pension will change in Moscow from January 2018

According to the latest data, the minimum payment to pensioners in Moscow will increase significantly. When calculating the insurance pension for 2018, total points are taken into account: the amount of the difference for the periods between the onset of retirement age and the actual date of retirement. Later the pension coefficient will be increased. The table provides a comparative analysis of income growth:

The state will index the value of pension points with fixed bonuses. Main nuances:

• will begin on January 1, 2018.
• The amount of money paid to a pensioner will increase to 17.5 thousand rubles.
• The difference will be 3 thousand, this is a very noticeable increase in the social supplement for an elderly person.

Reasons for increasing pension payments

The minimum pension in Moscow in 2018 was affected by a decrease in real incomes of low-income citizens, plus there was an increase in prices for essential products due to the current level of inflation. The amount of the minimum payment determined for Muscovites no longer covers the needs of pensioners. The current mayor of the city, S.S., proposed taking action. Sobyanin. For approximately 43 thousand more citizens, new types of additional payments will be established that they have never received before.

Regulatory framework

Pensioners-Muscovites, along with other constituent entities of the Russian Federation, enjoy benefits based on articles of regulatory documents. Officials rely on regulations when determining the amount of cash payments. The minimum pension for Muscovites in 2018 is based on official government regulations:

• On October 31, 2017, the Government officially reviewed and submitted for implementation No. 805-PP “On establishing the amounts of individual social and other payments for 2018, on amendments to the resolution of November 27, 2007 No. 1005-PP.”
• From 01/01/2018, the coefficient of the city social standard (GSS) increases to determine the size of the regional social supplement to citizens’ pensions to 17,500 rubles, which is higher than 14,500 rubles previously indicated in 2016-2017, the increase will be 21%.

The growth of the city's social supplement for elderly people and the increase in benefits for the low-income population will affect more than 2 million Muscovites. In order to financially protect the population, monthly and one-time social benefits are officially increased for preferential categories, these include families:

• large families;
• low-income people with children;
• raising handicapped children (new benefit - annual compensation of 10,000 rubles for the purchase of children's school uniforms).

Minimum pension amount

In the capital, for elderly people, in addition to the social part established by the federal authorities, there are regional maximum increases. The final amount of the smallest additional payment is determined by the length of the pensioner’s stay in the capital. If you have 10 years of official registration, you can count on additional payment according to Moscow indicators. For the country, the basic indicator is 8,540 rubles, while for the capital it corresponds to the monetary equivalent of 11,561 rubles.

Non-working pensioners

The minimum social pension in 2018 for non-working Muscovites will increase by 7%. According to representatives Pension Fund Russia, such compensation will not cover the cost of living of an elderly person. It is expected that the social pension will be 9156 rubles, with the expected living wage 9364 rub..

Working pensioners

Working pensioners have been waiting for the indexation of pensions for a very long time. for a long time. The hopeful summer increase of 2018 did not materialize. For the coming period, nothing is known yet about indexation for older workers. One thing is clear, if you stop working, your payments will be indexed.

What additional payments will pensioners receive in 2018?

The economic situation in the Russian capital is improving slightly, but this is least affecting low-income pensioners and families. For this reason, a decision was made on the necessary increase in social cash subsidies. Already from the beginning of the new year 2018, from the first day of January, all Muscovite pensioners will begin to receive the assigned new compensations. According to average indicators, they will grow up to 5 times. For these purposes, 47 billion rubles are allocated from the budget.
