It would seem that today you can find any information on the Internet. So we set out to find a table of average pensions by profession in order to compare how the government evaluates the merits of the defenders of the Motherland. Unfortunately, there is no such information in open sources, so we present information collected from various sources that inspire the most confidence.
To understand whether the military pension is as great as legends make about it, let’s start from the average insurance pension of Russians - about 15,000 (different sources call from 14,150 to 15,400 rubles). However, the average pension is akin to the average temperature in a hospital, so let’s look at what it consists of.
What is the pension for military personnel in Russia?
In many ways, the size of a military pension depends on the reason for which the citizen retired. Here are a few situations in which the military retires:
- Loss of a breadwinner. If a soldier dies or acquires a fatal disease. Then, through the department where the service was held, family members are awarded additional compensation.
- Disability . When injuries or illnesses subsequently lead to the assignment of one of the disability groups.
- By length of service. A citizen simply retires after working for a certain amount of time.
Each group has its own conditions for assigning payments and determining their size. But there are also general rules. For example, they use a percentage of the salary that was issued at the time of service.

Private soldiers receive $100–200 per month, depending on their place of service. A single soldier is paid double salary: to pay for an apartment and utilities. And if his parents live abroad, once a year during his service he has the right to 21 days of leave to visit his relatives.
In addition, there are bonuses for each overtime hour of service - from There are also bonuses for special conditions of combat training (for example, for our units in Chechnya) - from 2,700 to 5,000 rubles per month. More “welding”: For the complexity and intensity of the service - one of the most significant (except for the allowance under Order No. 400-A). 88 to $3.75 depending on the position. Additional payments for Air Force flight personnel reach $611 per month. Personnel who regularly jump with a parachute have an allowance of $150 per month. Special forces and combat swimmers - $1,170 to the basic salary.
Calculation of pension amounts for former military personnel
Here you need to look at the formulas by which the insurance payments of a particular citizen were determined. After all, you need to know exactly not only the salary, but also the length of service characteristic of a citizen.
The formula in the case of calculation will look like this:
(OD + OZ + OV) x PC x V x RK
Each indicator has a decoding:
- RK – regional coefficient, is not applied in every case.
- B – designation of length of service
- PC – reduction factor, if needed.
- OV - salary in connection with length of service.
- OZ - salary depending on rank.
- OD – salary determined by position.
Reducing coefficients are used for the purpose of additional savings in the state budget. It shows how the size of the pension depends on the citizen’s monetary allowance. It was adopted back in the early 200s, then it was indexed. But over the past couple of years there has been virtually no change.
Length of service is another factor that plays a role in this formula. In this case, the age of the military person to whom the system is applied does not play a role. The work experience required for a pension can also be obtained at a young age.
Reference! Regional coefficients are applied if the service is associated with places where special, dangerous or harmful conditions persisted. An example is the Far North and territories equivalent to it.
There are other conditions that contribute to an increase in transfers:
- Special activities, example - eliminating the consequences of accidents, and so on.
- Conscientious performance of military duties over a long period of time.
- Receiving serious injuries and illnesses leading to disability.
- If the service is related to the processing and storage of any classified information.
- Participation in hostilities.

What kind of pension can a general receive?
Federal Law No. 4468-1 of 1993 “On pensions for military personnel” contains rules regarding the conditions and procedure for assigning payments.
Legal acts developed by this department provide for what payment can be received by a military man in this rank:
- benefits accrued based on length of service;
- upon receipt of disability.
The calculation of this benefit for generals is not carried out by the Pension Fund of Russia; this area is under the control of the country's Ministry of Defense.
By length of service
Article 5 of Federal Law No. 4468-1 of 19993 indicates that persons with a certain amount of length of service are entitled to receive long-service benefits.
Payments are made from funds allocated by the Ministry of Defense. Length of service applies not only to the military sphere, but also to other areas of activity equivalent to it. For example, these are employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The amount of a general's pension in Russia depends on the number of years of service.
When calculating this benefit, two conditions that the military must meet are taken into account:
- having more than 20 years of service;
- work experience must be at least 25 years.
The average amount of long-service benefits ranges from 60,000 to 80,000 rubles.
The specified number of years of experience must necessarily include length of service in the amount of half of this value. If a citizen wants to go into service for the second time and then leave it, then he must understand that the determination of length of service is carried out at the time of the last dismissal. Similar rules apply to establish total length of service.
General's disability pension
How much a general’s pension will be in the event of loss of ability to work depends on what disability group he was assigned during the examination.
Article 19 of Federal Law No. 4468-1 of 1993 specifies the conditions for receiving the type of payment in question:
- loss of ability to work must occur while the citizen is performing military service or within a three-month period after dismissal;
- a person may be recognized as disabled later than the specified period, but the reason for this is an illness acquired in the service.
There are two groups of generals recognized as disabled who receive these payments.
Their sizes vary:
- persons who, during their service, received the status of a disabled person, but the disease that became the cause is not associated with official duties;
- receipt of disability is associated with participation in hostilities or other operations where a person took part due to the performance of official duties.
Benefits are provided not only for the retired general, but also for his family. You can take advantage of these benefits after the death of a military personnel.
Minimum amount of disability benefits for a general
Minimum values of payments due to citizens who retired with the rank of general have been established.
Military personnel of such high rank receive the following amounts:
- if the disability occurs as a result of an injury received during service, then the amount ranges from 175 to 300% of the salary (the amount will be from 57,700 to 99,000 thousand rubles, this is influenced by the disability group);
- if the cause of disability is a disease acquired in the service, then the value will be from 150 to 250% (from 49,500 to 82,500 rubles).
In the latter case, the size is influenced by the established disability group. It is determined in accordance with the ITU resolution.
By old age
If a citizen who received the rank of general during military service decides to go to civilian work, then he retains the right to receive insurance benefits upon reaching a certain age. The average pension specifically depends on the number of years of service (insurance period).
If a person has held a commanding position in a military unit for thirty years, then the amount of payments will be 52,500 rubles.
To receive insurance benefits, a person must meet the following conditions:
- be in the age category of 60 or 65 years;
- compulsory insurance in the pension system;
- availability of insurance experience;
- assignment of payments through the Ministry of Defense;
- accumulated points.
The age criterion depends on the gender of the officer. For males this is 65 years old, for females - 60.
Additional payments and allowances
Typically, an increase in benefits is associated with length of service or receipt of some type of disability. This is especially true for those who have several reasons at once.
The basis for calculation is the minimum social old-age pension.
Those who took an active part in the Great Patriotic War can count on additional transfers. For 2020, the amount of such additional payment is 100% of the salary. Monthly transfers are developed separately for those who meet the same conditions. The amount of assistance depends on the merits to the state.
Important! Regional authorities often agree to develop more measures aimed at supporting military retirees.
Payment for a dependent is another type of benefit that is transferred for each minor child.
But other persons may also represent this category:
- A spouse who has lost the ability to work.
- Children under the age of majority.
- Full-time students.
- Disabled since childhood.
- Elderly parents.
Additional funds are allocated for the maintenance of each person included in the category.
There are other types of allowances created to improve the financial condition of pensioners:
- For service in the Far North or other similar territories for 15 years or more.
- For those who suffered after radiation or tests in the same area.
- Awards and titles. An example is receiving any orders.
Indexation of pensions for military pensioners from October 1, 2020.
In the Russian Federation, pensions for military personnel are financed from the federal budget and are indexed annually. In 2020, we should also expect an increase in pension payments, and indexation will traditionally be carried out before October 1.
The increase in pensions in 2020 will occur due to an increase in salaries by rank and position of military personnel serving under conscription and contract, officers of the Russian Army, as well as serving in the troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation, internal affairs bodies, fire departments, the Federal Penitentiary Service, the Ministry of Emergency Situations and other security forces.
The Russian government explains such a slight increase by a slight increase in inflation and the freezing of the reduction coefficient at 73.68%. There are quite a few military pensioners who are dissatisfied with this additional payment, since they expected that their pension payments would finally reach 100% for their full service life.
How is the size of the second pension determined for former military personnel?
In practice, this process causes difficulties for many, but everything seems confusing only at first glance. It is enough to take a pen and use the help of special calculators to carry out the procedure yourself.
Obtaining the amount of future payment requires information about the following factors:
- The number of points accumulated in the system.
- Production.
- The relationship between military pay and the average for the country as a whole.
It is necessary to find out in advance how many coefficients accumulate per year for one citizen. To do this, use a special formula:
Gk = SV/RO
RO – for insurance deductions.
SV – designation of the total amount of insurance premiums.
Gk – the size of the pension coefficient calculated for the year.
The number 228 is the definition of the main time period in days during which it is planned to receive a pension. It is defined for all citizens. The indicator was determined based on average statistics for the country.
0.55 – coefficient reflecting the total length of service.

Conditions of appointment
Law of the Russian Federation No. 4468-I of 1993 states that persons who:
- at the time of dismissal, served in the FSB for 20 years or more;
- dismissed due to reaching the age limit for military service, organizational and staffing events or for health reasons, have reached the age of 45 years and have a total work experience of at least 25 calendar years. At the same time, 12.6 years, that is, at least half, must be spent serving in the law enforcement unit, fire service, bodies (institutions) of the penal system and/or national guard troops.
In the second case, the total length of service is calculated by adding:
- confirmed work experience established for calculating the state pension before the Federal Law “On Labor Pensions” came into force;
- the insurance period established for the assignment of a state pension before the entry into force of the Federal Law “On Insurance Pensions”;
- insurance period determined in accordance with the law on insurance pensions.
Calculation
The calculation procedure depends on the category of the person applying for a pension:
- if you have 20 years of service, you are charged 69.45% of the salary mentioned earlier, as well as 3% of it for each additional year of service (in total no more than 85%);
- the second category of persons, where not only length of service is important, but also total length of service, receive a pension according to the provided scheme from April 5, 2016. According to it, the salary is assigned in the same amount, but for each year of total experience only 1% of it is added.
Decor
A person receives a pension after applying for appointment to the specialized pension authorities of the FSB.
Rules of circulation:
- The application is submitted along with the necessary documents.
- A person has the right not to provide papers that are at the disposal of government agencies or local self-government bodies. In this case, the necessary documents are simply requested and not required from the applicant.
- In accordance with Art. 52 of Law 4468-I, applications along with a package of documents are considered by these pension authorities within 10 days from the date of receipt of the application or the same period of time after the transfer of missing information or papers that were not received by the employee upon application.
Late application for a pension makes it possible to return the established amounts for no more than a year preceding the day of filing the application.
According to the law, the day of application for a pension is recognized as:
- the day the application is submitted to the competent authority along with all documents.
- date of sending the letter, if the documentation is sent by mail.
When not all documents are attached to the application, and the obligation to provide them lies with the applicant, then the person is explained which documents are missing.
If they are provided within three months, the date of application is considered the day of sending or submitting the application for a pension.
Size
The amount is calculated on the basis of monetary allowance. In accordance with the procedure determined by the Government of the Russian Federation, the official salary (salary for a military position or for a special rank) and a bonus for length of service (monthly bonus) are taken into account. Promotions associated with service under special conditions are not relevant.
Retired colonel's pension
The amount of allowance depends not only on the rank, but also on the position. Interest is added to the amount for special conditions of service, complexity and tension, etc. Additional payments are provided for the availability of awards.
Accordingly, it is impossible to calculate an exact pension. On average, a position and title generates a salary of about 40-50 thousand rubles. Taking into account interest for years of service, the amount can increase by one and a half times or more.
Thus, 70% of the total allowance will be at least 50-60 thousand rubles. All this does not take into account significant premiums for education, risk during performance, etc.
Pensioner's ID
Pensioners are issued a special pension certificate from the Federal Security Service against signature. If personal receipt is not possible, the document is sent by registered mail with notification.
- full name of the pensioner,
- his title
- type of pension received,
- day of appointment.
If we are talking about a dependent receiving an FSB survivor's pension, the title is not registered.
The document is signed by the head of the territorial body of the FSB and the pension division. Certification is carried out with the official seal of the territorial body. A color matte photograph of 3x4 cm, certified by a seal, is pasted inside.
Entries inside are made legibly, without corrections or erasures, only in black or blue pen; cleaning up errors is prohibited.
An incorrect entry requires the preparation of a new document. Once submitted, damaged forms must be written off six months after the audit.
In case of loss or damage to the pension certificate, you must:
- Contact the issuing department with an application.
- State the circumstances of the loss.
- Get the document. After the conclusion is issued, a duplicate is issued with the appropriate stamp affixed. The legal force of the new document is similar to the lost one.
