How much will the pension increase from January 1? Minimum pension in Russia

For pensioners, there has always been, is and will be the most pressing issue, the issue of increasing pensions. This is the most socially vulnerable category of citizens, who can only count on state help.

The next big increase in pension payments is scheduled for the first day of April this year, but it will not apply to all categories.
The following may apply for this type of pension:
- people who receive social assistance;
– disabled people of any group;
– people receiving a survivor’s pension;
– those who are not entitled to an old-age pension;
– military pensioners;
– pensioners who worked in internal affairs bodies;
- employees of government agencies.


Indexation of old-age pensions from April 1, 2018
In 2017, the indexation of old-age pensions for elderly Russians took place twice: in February and April. The main increase then happened on February 1 - according to the tradition of many recent years, and the indexation percentage was 5.4%, in accordance with inflation in the country at the end of 2016. From April 1, pensions increased by another 0.4% - an increase was included in the budget pension payments by 5.8%, and the government, after thinking, decided to allocate all allocated funds for their intended purpose.
Russian pensioners perceived the April 2017 indexation rather ambiguously - 0.4% meant in practice an increase of a maximum of several tens of rubles. The government wanted to do what was best, but older Russians perceived the second indexation as a handout.
What they write in the media
Already news that life will become much better for pensioners from the first day of next month is published everywhere, everyone is writing about this step social media. According to the latest news about the indexation of pensions from April 1, 2018, pension savings for older people will increase significantly. But again, there are limitations here.
The categories that will have their pension savings increased first include the following categories of citizens:
– those who have a fairly long length of service;
– if a citizen has not yet retired, then increasing him pension savings will be made only after he officially becomes an age pensioner;
– those citizens who are already receiving pension contributions from the state due to the loss of their only breadwinner in the past;
– those citizens who, for some other reason, do not have the right to pay pension contributions.
Pension increase from April 1, 2018 – let’s summarize
– Condition for assigning a social pension for disabled people and persons retirement age there may be a lack insurance period.
– Categories such as military and disabled people of the Second World War receive state pension, calculated on the basis of social.
– Magnification factor pension benefit depends on height living wage.
– It was originally planned that in 2018 the social pension would be increased by 1.2%.
– Last news report that indexation of social benefits will take place by 4.1%.
– Insurance benefits increased in April 2017.
– In 2018, they will be indexed only once – on January 1.

In addition to indexation and increase in pensions, in 2018 there will also be a number of changes in the basics of pension provision for Russian citizens. What changes are these?

Increase in pensions from February 1, 2018

and a number of other changes

will be held in Russia in three stages:

• Already from January 1, 2018 by 3.7 percent occurred increase in labor pension non-working pensioners (for old age, disability and loss of a breadwinner). This indexing will be carried out one month earlier than usual, since the Government decided to index these types of pension payments above the inflation rate, which in 2017 was at a record low level (less than 3%).
• From February 1 2018 will be as usual social benefits paid by the Pension Fund are indexed independently or in the form of a pension supplement (EDV, NSU). In 2018, these payments will be indexed according to actual inflation for 2017(projected at less than 3%, so pensioners are unlikely to feel such an increase).
• From April 1, 2018 will be held indexing social pensions paid to a pensioner in the absence length of service(including disabled children). This type of pension is assigned in a fixed amount and increases taking into account changes in the value over the past year pensioner's living wage. In 2018 indexation of social pensions planned at 4.1%.

Moratorium on indexation of pensions for working pensioners in 2018 year will be preserved - that is, employed citizens who are already retired will be able to count only for recalculation from August 1 based on accrued pension points for the previous year. They will be able to receive all indexation missed during the moratorium only after dismissal.

In addition to the indexation of pension payments, in 2018 There will also be a number of changes in the basics of pension provision for Russian citizens, which will affect the conditions for retirement upon reaching retirement age and the formation of pension rights of working citizens.

Another question that concerns pensioners in connection with the onset of the new year is whether pensioners will receive 5,000 rubles in January 2018 (alas, no - this time there will be no such payment).

Indexation of pensions in 2018

According to the provisions of Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013, insurance (labor) pensions of citizens must be indexed annually from February 1 to the inflation level of the previous year, and if the Pension Fund has additional financial resources, indexation is carried out again on April 1. But the new year is traditional indexing order labor pensions will change: their increase will occur 1 month earlier - already from January 1, 2018.

This is because the increase is based on a higher percentage than recorded actual inflation, so there is no need to wait until February until Rosstat calculates inflation for 2017 (expected to be less than 3 percent).

Social pensions and other social payments made by the Pension Fund, will be promoted as usual to the actual level of price growth for 2017:

• monthly social payments for pensions - from February 1, based on actual inflation for 2017 (less than 3 percent);
• social pensions for disabled citizens - from April 1 in relation to the increase in the cost of living (approximately 4.1 percent).

At the same time, the increase in insurance pensions will not affect employed pensioners. Let us recall that the indexation of pensions for working citizens was suspended in 2016 due to the difficult economic situation in the country. This freeze helped save the state 12 billion rubles. However, all missed indexations must be compensated to the citizen the very next month after dismissal.

Pension increase from January 1, 2018 (latest news)

In accordance with the law adopted by the State Duma on December 15, 2017 (introduced by the Government as bill No. 274624-7) on changing the procedure for indexing insurance pensions in 2018 all types of pensions (old age, disability, survivors) should increase from January 1, 2018 by 3.7%. The previous procedure for increasing labor pensions is suspended until the beginning of 2019, and this increase does not apply to working pensioners (see the text of the law below).

It must be borne in mind that any insurance pension consists of two parts:

• fixed payment(or FV) is a constant value guaranteed by the state (for all categories of recipients it is set in a fixed amount);
• directly insurance part - this is an individual calculated value, which depends on the number of pension points earned during work.

January indexation will affect both parts of the pension as follows:

1. Fixed payment will be increased by 3.7% and will be a constant amount 4982 rubles 90 kopecks, its increase or decrease is legally established for certain categories of citizens by Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013;
2. The insurance part of the pension directly depends on the points earned by the pensioner, the cost of which will increase from January 1 by 3.7% and amount to 81 ruble 49 kopecks.

In 2017, actual inflation in the country was recorded at no more than 3%. Consequently, the increase in pensions proposed by the Government by 1.037 times in 2018 formally covers the increase in consumer prices (although, of course, in its absolute value this increase will be very small - the increase will be even less than in previous years).

Increase in social payments to pensioners in 2018 from February 1

From February 1, 2018, there will also be an increase (indexation) of all social payments of the Pension Fund provided for various categories of citizens (disabled people, veterans, heroes of Russia, etc.). They are provided in the form of monthly cash payments (MCB), an integral part of which is also a set of social services (NSS).

In general, NSU consists of three parts (medicines, travel and sanatorium treatment) and is provided at the choice of the pensioner in one of two ways:

• in kind (that is, directly by social services);
• in monetary terms when refusing natural food.

The cost of a set of such services (each part separately) is determined by law and increases in direct proportion to the growth of the monthly payment (EDV) - i.e. by the same percentage. In 2018, this increase is planned at a level of less than 3%, so beneficiaries will hardly feel such an increase.

The preliminary values ​​of EDV and NSU in 2018 can be found in the table:

Thus, from February 1, 2018, it is planned to index social payments (including a set of social services) to the actual inflation level of last year. In the draft Government resolution, this value was fixed at 3.2%, but actual inflation will be less than 3%, so the increase will be even smaller (the same applies to child benefits in 2018).

Indexation of social pension in 2018 from April 1 by 4.1%

A social pension is a special type of pension, which is characterized by the pensioner’s lack of work experience for some reason. Such a pension is assigned in a fixed amount approved by law. And, as a rule, the size of social pensions is significantly lower than the calculated labor (insurance) pensions.

It should be noted that in the last two years there has been a decrease in the established growth rates of social pensions. So in April 2017, this type of pension was indexed by only 1.5%. In 2018, it is planned to reach the usual (pre-crisis) increase in the level of this type of pension provision - the projected growth of social pensions will be approximately 4.1% in April 2018

Unlike labor pensions, indexation of social pensions is tied to change in the cost of living of a pensioner for the previous year. Therefore, the amount of indexation of insurance and social pensions for the same year may differ (although in both cases it is associated with actual increase in consumer prices).

Thus, one of the positive changes in 2018 is a more noticeable increase in the cost of living (LS) in the country, including separately by region. At the same time, the established PM allows all non-working pensioners to receive additional payments (the so-called social supplements up to the subsistence level- federal and regional), if the size of their pensions is lower than the approved values.

According to the law, the level of a citizen’s pension should always be not lower than the subsistence level in the region, in which he lives (hence the seemingly strange statements of the Government that “There are no low-income pensioners in Russia”- they all receive pensions together with others social benefits in an amount not less than PM.

Since 2010, pension applications have already included a section on receiving social benefits. If your pension was assigned before 2010, and you did not submit a separate application for an additional payment, and the amount of the pension is below the established subsistence level in the region, then you must independently contact the territorial bodies of the Pension Fund.

Pension increase in 2018 in Russia for working pensioners

The laws adopted in the State Duma do not provide for any changes for the working population receiving pensions for 2018. This means that working pensioners will continue to receive pension amounts without annual indexation.

Let us recall that the indexation of pensions was stopped in February 2016 for those citizens who continue to work, having exercised their right to pension provision. The Government’s plans included not indexing pensions for working Russians up to 2019.

This moratorium on pension indexation operates as follows:

• Those citizens who retired before February 1, 2016 and retained their jobs will remain without an increase in their pensions from February 2016.
• For citizens who became pensioners after February 1, 2016, when calculating the individual pension coefficient (IPC), all increases that took place on the date the right to a pension became available are taken into account.
• If you continue to work and simultaneously receive a pension, all subsequent indexations from the date of employment will again not be applied.

Working pensioners have the right to increase their pension only through annual recalculation according to the employer. From August 1 of each year, the pensions of such citizens increase by the number of points taken into account in the previous year for the period of labor activity and payment of insurance contributions during this period. But no more than 3 points per year!

An example of how working pensioners will recalculate pension indexation in the Pension Fund

A woman born on May 1, 1962, retired in 2017 within the period established by law and continues to work. What indexations will be taken into account when determining the size of the pension? And from what time will the pension stop being indexed?

The calculation of the pension for this woman will be made on the date May 1, 2017. When calculating the IPC, all approved pension growth indices will be taken into account, starting from 2015 to 05/01/2017.

• The cost of one pension coefficient will be taken as of 05/01/2017 - this is 78.58 rubles.
• The fixed payment included in the insurance pension will be taken into account taking into account indexation as of May 1, 2017 and is equal to 4805.11 rubles.

Further, subject to continued performance of paid work, all subsequent indexations of singing after appointment will be suspended. Those. the indexation carried out from January 1, 2018 at 3.7% will no longer be applied to this woman’s pension. And this will continue until she quits her job or is fired by her employer.

Indexation of pension after dismissal of a working pensioner in 2018

In 2017, a law was adopted according to which the period for recalculating pensions after dismissal was changed. In 2018, working pensioners will be able to receive a pension with all missing indexes from the next month after dismissal. In this case, the pensioner himself should additionally contact Pension Fund will not be required, since this recalculation is entirely based on the monthly reporting of employers!

Previously, after leaving work, the pensioner received a recalculation of the pension received, taking into account all indexations in three months:

• the first month is the submission of reports to employers to the Pension Fund about citizens working in the organization;
• the second month - data on the fact of work was loaded into a single software package operating nationwide;
• the third is the adoption by the territorial body of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation of a decision on recalculation.

For citizens who have stopped labor activity in 2018, the period for calculating pensions is reduced, taking into account indexations missed during work. This will be possible after entry into force from January 1, 2018 Federal Law No. 134-FZ dated July 1, 2017.

However, the process of additional accrual of missed increases will be the same for technical reasons will also take several months. But after this, when paying an already recalculated pension after 3 months, an additional payment will be made for the entire period following dismissal.

This innovation applies only to those who have been laid off. after January 1, 2018. If a pensioner quit, for example, in December 2017, then the indexation of his pension will be carried out only from April 1, 2018 - without additional payment for the period from January to March (in other words, these months will be lost).

Latest news and latest changes in pensions

As has already become clear, the increase in pensions in the new year for most categories of pensioners will be very small (unnoticeable) or, as for a large category of working pensioners, there will be no increase at all. But in the new year demands will increase to already formed pension rights and the level of wages of Russian citizens for retirement:

• To the planned values ​​stipulated by law “About insurance pensions”, the minimum requirements required to retire from old age pension in 2018 will increase - now you will need to have at least 9 years of work experience And minimum 13.8 pension points.
• Earn new pension points working population since 2018 will become much more difficult, since the maximum base for calculating insurance contributions to the Pension Fund in 2018 (on the basis of which points earned for the year are calculated) will be increased immediately by 16.55% - from 876 thousand rubles to 1 million 021 thousand. - according to Government Decree No. 1378 of November 15, 2017. And it’s unlikely that anyone in Russia now has a salary that is growing at the same rate (well, if it’s growing at all).

Other significant changes to pension system Russia is not expected in 2018. In particular, the expected one-time payment to pensioners in the amount of 5,000 rubles will not be paid in 2018- this was a one-time, one-time additional payment, which was due to all pensioners in January 2017 in return for the additional indexation required by law that was missed in 2016 (and there is simply no reason to pay it in 2018).

And one of the few truly good news for Russians is that no decision has yet been made to increase the retirement age, which is important for those who are still working or planning to retire (including men born in 1958 and women born in 1963).

Will there be a one-time payment of 5,000 rubles to pensioners in 2018?

At the beginning of 2017, recipients of all types of pensions, regardless of the fact of work, received additional payment in the amount of 5000 rubles. This measure was necessary in the current economically unstable situation.

On the background high level inflation and the inability to carry out additional indexation of pensions in 2016, a decision was made to make a one-time payment in addition to citizens’ pensions (Law No. 385-FZ of November 22, 2016). Thus, the pensions of Russians were “conditionally re-indexed”, many of whom perceived this simply as a New Year’s gift.

Currently, according to the Government, the economic situation in the country is normalizing. Over the past 12 months, the increase in consumer prices (inflation) does not exceed 3%, and pensions in 2017 rose in total according to two indexations by 5.78%.

The upcoming indexation of 3.7%, planned for January 2018, exceeds the inflation rate for 2017. Therefore, no additional one-time payments (5 thousand rubles or any other) in addition to the already included indexations will be made!

Will there be an increase in the retirement age in 2018 (latest news)

In the last few years, the most discussed and acute issue for Russians is question of increasing the retirement age. In many other countries, including post-Soviet ones, corresponding decisions have already been made and are being implemented.

• For example, from January 2017 in Belarus the retirement age will be increased annually by six months until women reach 58 years and men 63 years. In Kazakhstan, the same values ​​apply - for women at 58 years old, for men at 63 years old.
• In many developed countries, such as Germany, men become pensioners at 65 years old, and women at 60 years old.
• In Ukraine, the Verkhovna Rada adopted a law on pension reform, which also includes an increase in the current retirement age.

Now this issue has come to a head in Russia. According to the Government, it is primarily due to the fact that the working age in the country is increasing - i.e. About a third of Russians already stop working later than retirement.

However, due to the great unpopularity of this measure, the Russian Government has not yet made a final decision on extending the retirement age (although many consider this issue resolved and note that it will most likely begin to be implemented after the next presidential elections, which will be held in March 2018 - but for now these are just rumors).

How many points and work experience do you need to retire in 2018?

Since 2015, a point system for calculating labor (insurance) pensions for citizens has been in effect, in which insurance premiums paid to the Pension Fund by the employer for its employees are transferred from rubles to relative values ​​(points). The amount of contributions taken into account for the year is correlated with the maximum accountable amount of contributions approved by the Government, which corresponds to 10 pension points(this is the maximum that can be received in one year).

But in order to obtain the right to retire in old age within the generally established time limits, it is necessary to comply three mandatory conditions:

• reaching the age established by law;
• availability of insurance (work) experience;
• the presence of an established value of the individual pension coefficient (IPC) or, in other words, the size of pension points.

It should be noted that this only applies to old age pensions! Other types of compulsory pensions pension insurance(for disability, for loss of a breadwinner) are appointed independently on the length of work (insurance) experience and the number of points received.

Since 2018, a mandatory condition for granting a pension upon reaching retirement age (currently 55 years for women and 60 years for men) is the availability of 9 years of experience and 13.8 points individual pension coefficient (IPC).

An example of calculating pension points from 2015 to 2018

For a man born in 1965, he has an official salary before income tax (NDFL) of 30,000 rubles (accordingly, annual earnings are 360,000 rubles). Let’s assume that this citizen’s salary has never increased since 2015. At the same time, deductions are not made for him to the funded part of the pension, since he was born before 1967. Thus, the employer pays insurance premiums for this man to an individual personal account in the amount of 16% of earnings before personal income tax - that is, 16% × 360,000 = 57,600 rubles per year. Let's calculate how many points this man has earned since 2015, when the new pension formula came into effect.

Every year the Government approves for these purposes the so-called salary cap, the amount of mandatory contributions from which to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation to a citizen’s individual personal account is 16%. Thus, the maximum established salary in the country from 2015 to 2018 is the following values ​​(see table below).

In 2018, the insurance base for contributions to the Pension Fund will be 1,021,000 rubles in accordance with Government Decree No. 1378 dated November 15, 2017. Then the maximum amount of insurance contributions taken into account for the year, accepted for 10 points, will be 163,360 rubles (an increase relative to 2017 by almost 17 %).

Therefore, every ruble earned in 2018 will “depreciate” when transferred to pension points relative to 2017 by immediately 1 - (1 / 1.17) = 15%, and relative to the level of 2015 - by more than 30! Therefore, it is not enough to have only a constant high salary to form decent pension rights. So that their volume does not decrease from year to year, according to the new pension formula salary must grow by at least 10% per year(see table above).

Let's return to our example. To convert monthly earnings of 30,000 rubles into points, you need to correlate the salary data (taking 16% of annual earnings, which in the example under consideration will be 57,600 rubles per year) to the established limit values ​​and multiply by 10:

• 57600 / 113760 × 10 = 5.06 points earned by a citizen in 2015;
• 57600 / 127360 × 10 = 4.52 points in 2016;
• 57600 / 140160 × 10 = 4.11 points in 2017;
• 57600 / 163360 × 10 = 3.53 points will be earned in 2018.

Thus, in just 4 years, while maintaining the same level of wages (in the example under consideration, this is 30 thousand rubles per month) the number of accrued pension points decreased by 30%(in this example - from 5.06 points in 2015 to 3.53 in 2018). Thus, the modern pension system contains a mechanism that leads to a decrease in the level of annually accumulated pension rights while maintaining the same salary!

Accordingly, in the example considered, since 2015, the citizen has earned 5.06 + 4.52 + 4.11 + 3.53 = 17.22 points. Moreover, if a citizen’s right to a pension arose in 2017, then all the points accrued to him must be multiplied by 78.58 rubles - this is the cost of the insurance point from April 1, 2017. And if the right to a pension arises in 2018, then from January 1 it will be necessary to multiply by 81.49 rubles.

Message Pension increase in 2018 from February 1
appeared first on I'm in the know.

Reading time: 7 min.

The social pension will increase from April 1. Government Decree No. 302 dated March 20, 2018 “On approval of the indexation coefficient of social pensions from April 1, 2018,” which has not yet entered into force, states a coefficient of 1.029.

Social pensions are paid to disabled citizens who do not have sufficient work experience, so they are not entitled to an insurance pension. These include:

• disabled people of all groups;
• disabled children;
• children under 18 (23 - with full-time education) who have lost one or both breadwinners;
• citizens without work experience (women 60 years old, men 65 years old);
• representatives of small peoples Far North(women 50, men 55 years old).

When determining the size social security the price level and the cost of living of a pensioner are taken into account. In 2017, the cost of living was 8,315 rubles, in 2016 - 8,081 rubles. Change in indicator - 102.9%. This determines the 2018 indexation level - 2.9%.

Indexation of pensions in 2018 from April 1 for non-working pensioners

For non-working pensioners, the old-age pension is indexed twice a year. This is enshrined in the law of December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ “On Insurance Pensions” (hereinafter referred to as Law No. 400-FZ) which specifies the procedure for calculating the insurance part of the pension. The pension coefficient is taken as a basis - this is a parameter that shows to what extent a citizen is entitled to an insurance pension payment. The cost of the pension coefficient shows the ratio of the insurance contributions that the Pension Fund received for a working citizen to the amount of all contributions to the Pension Fund budget for the year.

Law No. 400-FZ establishes the following increase in the value of the pension coefficient:

• according to paragraph 21 of Article 15 - February 1 on the amount of inflation for the previous period, which is enshrined in the resolution of the Government of Russia;
• under paragraph 22 of Article 15 - April 1 in the amount calculated according to the methodology of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

SPKi = (ObSSi + TrFB) / IPK, where:

SPKi - the cost of one pension coefficient of the current year;

ObSSi - the volume of revenue from insurance premiums for the payment of insurance pensions;

TrFB - transfers from the federal budget to the budget of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation for the payment of insurance pensions taken into account for the calculation of SPKi;

IPC is the sum of individual pension coefficients of insurance pension recipients taken into account for the calculation of SPKi.

In total, indexation should not be lower than inflation for the previous year.

In 2017, pension payments increased on February 1 by 4.3%, and on April 1 by 1.5%. For the year, indexation is 5.8% with inflation of 5.4%.

The indexation procedure for 2018 has been changed. Therefore, the increase in the size of insurance pensions occurred on January 1 by 3.7%. The government explains this as follows. In December, it became clear that real inflation for 2017 was lower than the level budgeted for. But, since the funds had already been planned and budgeted, we decided to index them at a level higher than inflation.

Statistics show that the price growth index is 2.5%. And since the indexation amount is not tied to the inflation rate, the Government decided not to wait for February and do everything from January 1. For the same reason, there was no longer a need to index pensions in April 2018 for non-working pensioners.

For 2018, the law determined the cost of the pension coefficient - 81.49 rubles, the size of the fixed payment - 4,982.90 rubles.

Increase in social pension

The procedure for indexing social pensions is determined by Article 25 of Law No. 166-FZ dated December 15, 2001 “On State Pension Provision in Russian Federation"(hereinafter referred to as Law No. 166-FZ). On April 1, pension payments increase annually taking into account the increase in the pensioner’s cost of living over the past period. The specific coefficient is prescribed by Government Decree.

The first forecast figure in the news for 2018 was indicated by the Chairman of the Board of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation Alexander Kurtin in June 2017 - 1.2%. Labor Minister Maxim Topilin in February 2018 announced the final figure - 2.9%. In total terms, the increase in social pension will be from 124 to 350 rubles, depending on the category of pensioner.

If a citizen receiving a social pension has a dependent, then he is entitled to an additional payment in the form of a fixed amount. Now it is 1208.90 rubles, from April 1 - 1243.96 rubles. They pay extra for a maximum of 3 dependents. The size of pensions and additional payments increases by the regional coefficient.

Increasing military pensions for pensioners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs

The procedure for determining the size and indexation of pensions for military personnel is established not by Law No. 166-FZ, but by the Law of the Russian Federation of February 12, 1993 No. 4468-1 and the Government of the Russian Federation of September 22, 1993 No. 941.

According to them, military pension payments are added simultaneously with the indexation of the pay of active military personnel. The last increase in salaries in law enforcement agencies was in 2012. 6 years later, after the release of Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 21, 2017 No. 1598 “On increasing the salaries of military personnel and employees of some federal executive bodies,” there was an increase in salaries from January 1, 2018 by 4%.

Therefore, military pensions were increased by 4% from January 1. Disabled military pensioners - they will be indexed again on April 1 by 2.9%, since their calculation is related to minimum size social pension.

Will pensions be increased for working pensioners?

According to Article 26.1 of Law No. 400-FZ, working pensioners do not have their pension indexed. In 2018, the existing order does not change. The government notes that wage growth across the country exceeds the level of inflation and the indexation coefficient of insurance and social pensions.

As soon as a pensioner quits his job, he can submit an application to this effect to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. Starting next month, he will receive a pension with all missed indexations.

Until this point, the law provides for automatic recalculation of payments to working pensioners - every year on August 1. Accumulated pension points on an individual account are taken into account, but not more than 3 per year.

With the price of a pension point in 2018 being 81.49 rubles, the maximum increase in pension from August 1 for a working pensioner will be 244.47 rubles.

Basic moments:

1. Social pensions for old age, loss of breadwinners and disability will increase by 2.9% from April 1. The increase range is from 124 to 350 rubles.
2. Insurance pensions have already been increased by 3.7% from January 1; they will not be added in April.
3. Military pensions will increase by 4% from January 1, and from April 1, part of the pensions paid to disabled military personnel will be indexed.
4. Working pensioners will have their pensions automatically increased based on the number of accumulated points. Maximum - 244.47 rubles.

Maxim Topilin said that next year there will be an increase in pensions in three stages. The first increase will be in January 2018, the next ones in April and August. The increase in the amount paid to retirees will have some changes compared to previous increases.

The head of the Committee of Labor and Social Policy, Y. Nilov, said that the amendment to the bill on indexing pensions for working pensioners was rejected by the government.

Who will have their pensions increased from January 1, 2018: in January indexation will be for non-working pensioners

Pensioners who do not work will have their pensions increased in January 2018. The government will rearrange indexation a month in advance. Previously, accrual was only available from February. The level of pension depends on the rise in prices over the past year. Because of this, the Pension Fund waited for accurate data on inflation, and then they gave an increase to the pension. But this time the indexing will take place faster.

At the beginning of next year, pensioners will receive an indexation of 3.7%. M. Topilin said that the Pension Fund is going to make the accrual earlier. Initially, a 4% increase was planned. But according to Rosstat, the price increase was 3.7%. In 2017, the average payment to pensioners is 13,657 rubles. In 2018 it will be 14,045 rubles.

Who will have their pensions increased from January 1, 2018: social pensions will be indexed in April

More than four million people will receive a social pension in 2018. This category includes disabled people, veterans and other beneficiaries. Those who do not have sufficient work experience also receive such a pension. On average, such a payment is equal to 8,742 rubles, but from April it will be 4.1% more.

Children who have disabilities, as well as adults of the first disability group, receive 13,241 rubles this year. There are pensioners who receive 5-6 thousand rubles, their pensions will be increased to PMP.

Who will have their pensions increased from January 1, 2018: those pensioners who work will receive an additional payment before their pension in August

According to PF data for this year, there are 43 million pensioners in Russia. 14 million of them are still working. A few years ago, the reform that provided for an increase in pensions for working pensioners was canceled. They receive only additional payment in connection with increasing work experience.

The company where pensioners work pays the insurance premium. It goes into pension points. One point is equal to 78.58 rubles; in 2018 it will be 81.49 rubles. The number of points will depend on the salary. There are limitations to this too. The maximum increase next year will be no more than three points and 245 rubles.

Pension increase in 2018 for pensioners, latest news.

Pension increase in 2018 for pensioners, latest news

Indexation of pensions in 2018 in Russia will be carried out in three stages:

In addition to the indexation of pension payments, in 2018 there will also be a number of changes in the basics of pension provision for Russian citizens, which will affect the conditions for retirement upon reaching retirement age and the formation of pension rights of working citizens. Another question that concerns pensioners in connection with the onset of the new year is whether pensioners will receive 5,000 rubles in January 2018 (alas, no - this time there will be no such payment).

According to the provisions of Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013, insurance (labor) pensions of citizens must be indexed annually from February 1 to the inflation level of the previous year, and if the Pension Fund has additional financial resources, indexation is carried out again on April 1. But the new year is traditional The procedure for indexing labor pensions will change: their increase will occur 1 month earlier - already from January 1, 2018.

Social pensions and other social payments made by the Pension Fund, will be promoted as usual to the actual level of price growth for 2017:

At the same time, the increase in insurance pensions will not affect employed pensioners. Let us recall that the indexation of pensions for working citizens was suspended in 2016 due to the difficult economic situation in the country. This freeze helped save the state 12 billion rubles. However, all missed indexations must be compensated to the citizen the very next month after dismissal.

In accordance with the law adopted by the State Duma on December 15, 2017 (introduced by the Government as bill No. 274624-7) on changing the procedure for indexing insurance pensions in 2018, all types of this pension provision (old age, disability, survivor) should increase from January 1, 2018 by 3.7%. The previous procedure for increasing labor pensions is suspended until the beginning of 2019, and this increase does not apply to working pensioners (see the text of the law below).

It should be borne in mind that any insurance pension consists of two parts:

January indexation will affect both parts of the pension as follows:

From February 1, 2018, there will also be an increase (indexation) of all social payments of the Pension Fund provided for various categories of citizens (disabled people, veterans, heroes of Russia, etc.). They are provided in the form of monthly cash payments (MCB), an integral part of which is also a set of social services (NSS).

In general, NSU consists of three parts (medicines, travel and sanatorium treatment) and is provided at the choice of the pensioner in one of two ways:

in kind (that is, directly by social services);

The cost of a set of such services (each part separately) is determined by law and increases in direct proportion to the growth of the monthly payment (EDV) - i.e. by the same percentage. In 2018, this increase is planned at a level of less than 3%, so beneficiaries will hardly feel such an increase.

A social pension is a special type of pension, which is characterized by the pensioner’s lack of work experience for some reason. Such a pension is assigned in a fixed amount approved by law. And, as a rule, the size of social pensions is significantly lower than the calculated labor (insurance) pensions.

It should be noted that in the last two years there has been a decrease in the established growth rates of social pensions. So in April 2017, this type of pension was indexed by only 1.5%. In 2018, it is planned to reach the usual (pre-crisis) increase in the level of this type of pension provision - the projected growth of social pensions in April 2018 will be approximately 4.1%.

Unlike labor pensions, indexation of social pensions is tied to change in the cost of living of a pensioner for the previous year. Therefore, the amount of indexation of insurance and social pensions for the same year may differ (although in both cases it is associated with actual increase in consumer prices).

Thus, one of the positive changes in 2018 is a more noticeable increase in the cost of living (LS) in the country, including separately by region. At the same time, the established PM allows all non-working pensioners to receive additional payments (the so-called social supplements up to the subsistence level- federal and regional), if the size of their pensions is lower than the approved values.

Since 2010, pension applications have already included a section on receiving social benefits. If your pension was assigned before 2010, and you did not submit a separate application for an additional payment, and the amount of the pension is below the established subsistence level in the region, then you must independently contact the territorial bodies of the Pension Fund.

The laws adopted in the State Duma do not provide for any changes for the working population receiving pensions for 2018. This means that working pensioners will continue to receive pension amounts without annual indexation.

Let us recall that the indexation of pensions was stopped in February 2016 for those citizens who continue to work, having exercised their right to pension provision. The Government’s plans included not indexing pensions for working Russians up to 2019.

This moratorium on pension indexation operates as follows:

A woman born on May 1, 1962, retired in 2017 within the period established by law and continues to work. What indexations will be taken into account when determining the size of the pension? And from what time will the pension stop being indexed?

The calculation of the pension for this woman will be made on the date May 1, 2017. When calculating the IPC, all approved pension growth indices will be taken into account, starting from 2015 to 05/01/2017.

Further, subject to continued performance of paid work, all subsequent indexations of singing after appointment will be suspended. Those. the indexation carried out from January 1, 2018 at 3.7% will no longer be applied to this woman’s pension. And this will continue until she quits her job or is fired by her employer.

In 2017, a law was adopted according to which the period for recalculating pensions after dismissal was changed. In 2018, working pensioners will be able to receive a pension with all missing indexes from the next month after dismissal. At the same time, the pensioner himself will not need to additionally apply to the Pension Fund, since this recalculation is entirely based on the monthly reporting of employers!

Previously, after leaving work, the pensioner received a recalculation of the pension received, taking into account all indexations in three months:

However, the process of additional accrual of missed increases will be the same for technical reasons will also take several months. But after this, when paying an already recalculated pension after 3 months, an additional payment will be made for the entire period following dismissal.

This innovation applies only to those who have been laid off. after January 1, 2018. If a pensioner quit, for example, in December 2017, then the indexation of his pension will be carried out only from April 1, 2018 - without additional payment for the period from January to March (in other words, these months will be lost).

As has already become clear, the increase in pensions in the new year for most categories of pensioners will be very small (unnoticeable) or, as for a large category of working pensioners, there will be no increase at all. But in the new year demands will increase to already formed pension rights and the level of wages of Russian citizens for retirement:

No other significant changes are expected in the Russian pension system in 2018. In particular, the expected one-time payment to pensioners in the amount of 5,000 rubles will not be paid in 2018- this was a one-time, one-time additional payment that was due to all pensioners in January 2017 in return for the additional indexation required by law that was missed in 2016 (and there is simply no reason to pay it in 2018).

At the beginning of 2017, recipients of all types of pensions, regardless of the fact of work, received an additional payment in the amount of 5,000 rubles. This measure was necessary in the current economically unstable situation.

Against the backdrop of a high level of inflation and the impossibility of carrying out additional indexation of pensions, in 2016 a decision was made to make a one-time payment to citizens’ pensions (Law No. 385-FZ of November 22, 2016). Thus, the pensions of Russians were “conditionally re-indexed”, many of whom perceived this simply as a New Year’s gift.

Currently, according to the Government, the economic situation in the country is normalizing. Over the past 12 months, the increase in consumer prices (inflation) does not exceed 3%, and pensions in 2017 rose in total according to two indexations by 5.78%.

The upcoming indexation of 3.7%, planned for January 2018, exceeds the inflation rate for 2017. Therefore, no additional one-time payments (5 thousand rubles or any other) in addition to the already included indexations will be made!

In the last few years, the most discussed and acute issue for Russians is question of increasing the retirement age. In many other countries, including post-Soviet ones, corresponding decisions have already been made and are being implemented.

However, due to the great unpopularity of this measure, the Russian Government has not yet made a final decision on extending the retirement age (although many consider this issue resolved and note that it will most likely begin to be implemented after the next presidential elections, which will be held in March 2018 — but for now these are just rumors).

Since 2015, a point system for calculating labor (insurance) pensions for citizens has been in effect, in which insurance premiums paid to the Pension Fund by the employer for its employees are transferred from rubles to relative values ​​(points). The amount of contributions taken into account for the year is correlated with the maximum accountable amount of contributions approved by the Government, which corresponds to 10 pension points(this is the maximum that can be received in one year).

But in order to obtain the right to retire in old age within the generally established time limits, it is necessary to comply three mandatory conditions:

It should be noted that this only applies to old age pensions! Other types of pensions for compulsory pension insurance (disability, survivors) are appointed independently on the length of work (insurance) experience and the number of points received.

Since 2018, a mandatory condition for granting a pension upon reaching retirement age (currently 55 years for women and 60 years for men) is the availability of 9 years of experience and 13.8 points individual pension coefficient (IPC).

An example of calculating pension points from 2015 to 2018

For a man born in 1965, he has an official salary before income tax (NDFL) of 30,000 rubles (accordingly, annual earnings are 360,000 rubles). Let’s assume that this citizen’s salary has never increased since 2015. At the same time, deductions are not made for him to the funded part of the pension, since he was born before 1967. Thus, the employer pays insurance premiums for this man to an individual personal account in the amount of 16% of earnings before personal income tax - that is, 16% x 360,000 = 57,600 rubles per year. Let's calculate how many points this man has earned since 2015, when the new pension formula came into effect.

Every year the Government approves for these purposes the so-called salary cap, the amount of mandatory contributions from which to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation to a citizen’s individual personal account is 16%. Thus, the maximum established salary in the country from 2015 to 2018 is the following values ​​(see table below).

In 2018, the insurance base for contributions to the Pension Fund will be 1,021,000 rubles in accordance with Government Decree No. 1378 dated November 15, 2017. Then the maximum amount of insurance contributions taken into account for the year, accepted for 10 points, will be 163,360 rubles (an increase relative to 2017 by almost 17 %).

Let's return to our example. To convert monthly earnings of 30,000 rubles into points, you need to correlate the salary data (taking 16% of annual earnings, which in the example under consideration will be 57,600 rubles per year) to the established limit values ​​and multiply by 10:

Thus, in just 4 years, while maintaining the same level of wages (in the example under consideration, this is 30 thousand rubles per month) the number of accrued pension points decreased by 30%(in this example - from 5.06 points in 2015 to 3.53 in 2018). Thus, the modern pension system contains a mechanism that leads to a decrease in the level of annually accumulated pension rights while maintaining the same salary!

Accordingly, in the example considered, since 2015, the citizen has earned 5.06 + 4.52 + 4.11 + 3.53 = 17.22 points. Moreover, if a citizen’s right to a pension arose in 2017, then all the points accrued to him must be multiplied by 78.58 rubles - this is the cost of the insurance point from April 1, 2017. And if the right to a pension arises in 2018, then from January 1 it will be necessary to multiply by 81.49 rubles.
