How is the minimum pension calculated?
The minimum pension amount is assigned based on the subsistence level (LS) established by the region. Low-income elderly citizens whose income is less than the monthly minimum are assigned a social supplement to their pension to achieve the required value.
In 2020, citizens of some regions will need to re-register the supplement due to an increase in the minimum pension.
Rules and calculations
Since investment stabilizes the economy, the government will not encourage the rapid withdrawal of pension funds. When an early withdrawal occurs, the investor typically incurs an early withdrawal fee, which acts as a disincentive for making frequent withdrawals before the end of the early withdrawal period.
Provident funds are pension funds used when a person leaves the pension fund for any reason, such as resignation, retrenchment or termination of employment or the winding up of the employer's pension fund. Provident funds ensure that pension savings remain tax-sheltered and allow funds to be withdrawn from the fund if the member requests it.
Self-employed people also need retirement funding, so a retirement annuity fund is the answer. A retirement annuity fund can be thought of as a personal and portable retirement fund.
There is no need to have an employer/employee relationship to be a member of a retirement annuity fund. A person simply contributes to the fund (periodically or as a lump sum), and the money must grow over the years in order for there to be funds for retirement.
Pension funds do not allow lump sum withdrawals before age 55. No benefits may be paid to members or dependents until retirement, death or disability. However, a member may receive a lump sum benefit (withdrawal allowance) from the fund if they have ceased their contributions to the fund before the date of retirement when the value of the member's fund is less than the amount determined by the Minister and for official emigration.
At retirement, one third of the fund's value can be taken as a lump sum, which will be taxed in the same way as if it were a pension fund. If the person's combined pension annuity amount at retirement is less than RUB 247,500, then the full amount can be replaced in a lump sum.
Employers can also use pensions instead of pension funds for their employees.
What is considered the minimum pension in Russia?
The pension is formed from various indicators, some of which depend on the citizen’s work activity. However, the minimum pension depends on the level of the subsistence minimum, which is established individually in each subject of the country. This indicator changes annually based on the region's budget.
Social pension in 2020
In 2020, the country’s authorities increased social pensions for various categories of citizens: those who have lost their breadwinner, those who have the status of “disabled,” or those who have reached the retirement age limit. The changes that have arisen are associated with indexation (by 7%), focused on price growth over the past year. Thus, the amount of social pension by the end of the year will be presented on average as 9,925 rubles.
As a result of indexing, the size of social pensions for beneficiaries of different groups will be:
Type of benefit | Amount (rub.) | |
By old age | 5 653, 72 | |
Persons with disabilities | - disabled children - disabled since childhood | 13 568, 77 |
- disabled people of group 1 - disabled people of group 2 since childhood | 11 307,47 | |
— disabled people of group 2 | 5 653,72 | |
— disabled people of group 3 | 4 805,7 | |

How much will your pension be worth?
The size of your pension at retirement depends on how much you can afford to save each month, how long you contribute, the type of pension plan you choose, and investment returns. We know one thing: the sooner you start receiving your pension, the more it should grow. Our retirement calculators will help you decide how much you can afford to save.
1st of February | according to the inflation rate for the past year |
April 1 | according to the volume of receipts from insurance premiums |
Federal Law No. 420 “froze” indexation carried out on April 1 until January 1, 2020. Thus, Rostov pensioners can count on only one increase. benefits - moreover, from January 1. 2020, and not from February 1, as is usually the case.
However, such benefits will be paid only from April 1. Now disabled people of the 3rd group still receive social benefits in the amount of 3082.71 rubles. (Clause “d”, Clause 4, Article 1 of the Federal Law No. 162 of July 18, 2019 “On the Introduction...”).
Additional payment up to the subsistence level for pensioners in 2020
Low-income citizens of retirement age receive an additional payment up to the established subsistence level. As in previous years, the additional payment is calculated using the following formula:
D = VPM –OMP,
Where
- D – additional payment;
- VLM – the cost of living in the region;
- GMO – general financial situation.
A citizen’s material security consists of several indicators:
- the amount of pension benefits;
- other additional social income;
- monthly payments, including a set of social benefits. services.
Pension in Rostov-on-Don
In accordance with federal law, the labor pension consists of two components - insurance and funded. They are calculated using special formulas that take into account length of service, the amount of savings in personal accounts and the basic payment established by the state. The right to receive them arises for women from 55 years of age, and for men from 60 years of age. Moreover, their experience must be at least 8 years, and the number of IPCs must be 11.4.
What will be the conditions for receiving a social pension in 2020? Payments will also be calculated according to new principles, but the procedure for provision will not change. Women over 55 years of age and men over 60 years of age who do not have the minimum length of service will continue to have the right to social security in Rostov-on-Don in old age.
Minimum old-age pension in the Rostov region for 2020
The Russian government quite often names the national average amount of old-age pensions. In 2020 this is more than 14 thousand rubles, and in 2019 it will be more than 15 thousand. At the same time, for some reason, they forget about those senior citizens who receive the minimum payment. Although it is they who first of all need state support and an increase in pensions to a more decent level.
Unfortunately, the situation for such pensioners will not improve much in 2020, despite officials’ promises to increase pensions in the country by a thousand rubles a month. What will be the minimum old-age pension in the Rostov region from January 1, 2020 for non-working pensioners, how much will it increase compared to 2020?
Let's learn about the life of Russian pensioners using a specific example from this region.
How is the minimum old age pension calculated?
Strictly speaking, Russian legislation does not contain such a concept as a minimum guaranteed pension. However, in practice, a minimum old-age pension still exists, and it is determined indirectly through other provisions of the law.
of these norms suggests that the old-age pension in Russia cannot be lower than the living wage of a pensioner.
This cost of living is determined by each region independently. What is characteristic is that there is no uniform method for determining it. Regions take real statistics on the cost of the consumer basket for pensioners as a guide. Then some regions and republics include future price increases in Rosstat data, while others do not.
Be that as it may, each region of Russia is obliged to establish its own minimum living wage for a pensioner on its territory before the start of the next year.
Then the second important provision of the law comes into force. It says that those pensioners for whom the Pension Fund has calculated the amount of their pension payment below the subsistence level are entitled to a special additional payment.
This additional payment is called social; it can be financed both by the all-Russian budget and by the budget of the region itself.
It all depends on the level at which the regional authorities set the cost of living for a pensioner. If it is lower or equal to the all-Russian one, funding comes only from the federal treasury.
If the regional indicator exceeds the national average, funding comes from the local budget.
In Russia as a whole, the cost of living for a pensioner for 2020 is 8,846 rubles.
Minimum old-age pension in Rostov-on-Don and the region from January 1, 2020
The regional authorities of Rostov have set the cost of living for a pensioner in the region for 2020 at 8,488 rubles . This figure was enshrined in regional law No. 31-ZS of November 1, 2018. This value will be the amount of the minimum old-age pension in the region in 2020.
In 2020, the minimum pension level in the Rostov region is the same 8,488 rubles. Thus, there will be no increase in pensions for recipients of the minimum benefit at all.
The specified amount - 8,488 rubles - will be the minimum pension only for non-working pensioners. The law is based on the fact that if a pensioner works or receives some other income in addition to a pension, then he is not entitled to a social supplement. Even if the pension is below the subsistence level, the person generally receives an income above this amount and without additional payment.
But what about the thousand ruble increase promised by the state?
When agitating Russians for raising the retirement age, officials very often said that the pensions of current pensioners, thanks to this measure, would increase significantly in 2020. In general, pensioners will receive 12 thousand rubles more per year, which means the increase per month will immediately amount to a thousand rubles.
Unfortunately, these words turned out to be crafty and not entirely reliable.
We were talking about the national average pension. It is believed that in 2020 it is equal to 14.1 thousand rubles (sometimes they call the amount 14.4 thousand - officials themselves get confused). In January 2020, pensions in Russia will be indexed by 7.05%. After increasing the average pension by this percentage, it will actually increase by a thousand rubles.
However, the problem is that for those who receive a pension below the average, this seven percent increase will not mean a thousand rubles at all, but a much more modest amount.
Unfortunately, recipients of minimum pensions will receive nothing or practically nothing from this increase. For most of them, after indexation by 7.05%, the pension amount will still be below the subsistence level. The only thing that will lead to a slight increase in payments is an increase in this level in the region where the recipient of the minimum old-age pension lives.
In the Rostov region, as we just found out, there will be no increase at all.
