And is carried out as a result of recalculation, taking into account insurance experience for the past year- in fact, for which an additional payment is made. The increase in the amount of payments for each pensioner is carried out individually, since The amount of the August increase depends on:
- the total number of pension insurance contributions paid over the past year (i.e. pension points accumulated in 2018, which are formed from salary deductions);
- date of registration of the pension (since for a working pensioner the cost of 1 point is fixed at the level of the year in which he retired).
Every year, pension benefits for non-working citizens are indexed in accordance with the law. Indexation for 2019 have already been carried out in full. Let us remind you that in 2019 the following payments were indexed:
- due to indexation by 7.05% of the cost and;
- from 02/01/2019 indexed by 4.3% (, etc.);
- increased social pensions and state provision.
Thus, all plans for indexing pensions for non-working pensioners have been implemented in accordance with the law, so the next increase for this category of persons is planned only in 2020. The Government plans to carry out indexation for them annually from January 1, increasing the amount of payments, which will ultimately ensure the average pension by 2024 is 20 thousand rubles.
Recalculation upon application to the Pension Fund for non-working pensioners
In some cases, non-working pensioners also have the right to increase their pension payments as a result of recalculation. If there are reasons for this provided by law, the pensioner can contact the Pension Fund with supporting documents and the relevant indicating the basis for recalculation, For example:
- The number of disabled citizens who are dependent on pensioners has changed. In this case, a fixed payment will be made in the appropriate amount.
- The pensioner moved to the Far North region (or to an area equivalent to the KS region). In this case, the fixed payment will be increased by the regional coefficient, which corresponds to the region of residence.
- The category of recipient of a survivor's pension has changed (for example, a person receiving payments for the loss of one parent has also lost the second). In this regard, the amount of the fixed payment will also be increased.
- When assigning an insurance pension, non-insurance periods (for example, etc.) were not taken into account. As a result of such recalculation, additional pension points will be awarded and the pension amount will be increased.
In some cases, recalculation carried out in an undeclared form based on the data available in the Pension Fund (i.e., personal application is not required). Such cases include: changing the disability group, working pensioners, etc.
Update: February 22, 2019
Pension increase in 2019 – will there be further indexation and by how much? Read on this page the latest news about pension increases for working and non-working people.
The topic of increasing pensions in Russia today is being discussed very actively at all levels. Still would! Another pension reform is unfolding in the country. We have not yet gotten used to the so-called Pension points, but they already want to cancel them. Well, most importantly, a decision has been made to raise the retirement age in Russia.
What should today's pensioners (working and non-working) expect? What will be the indexation of pensions in 2019? When will pensions be raised and by how much?
Many questions arise. Let's start with what Vladimir Putin said about raising pensions.
Putin on indexation of pensions in 2019
Russian President Vladimir Putin has recently addressed the topic of raising pensions twice.
1. First, in a televised address on pension legislation, he stated that “ already in 2019, the indexation of old-age pensions will be about 7 percent, which is twice as high as the predicted inflation at the end of 2018. In general, over the next six years we will be able to annually increase the old-age pension for non-working pensioners by an average of 1 thousand rubles».
2. And then, during his annual address to the Federal Assembly, Putin commented on how officials carried out his instructions to increase pensions by 7 percent. It turned out that it was quite bad. The President scolded the officials and demanded a recalculation:
« ...This year pensions were indexed. But if a pensioner’s income exceeded the subsistence level, they stopped paying him the social supplement. As a result, the size of pensions has practically not increased, and people feel deceived. It was necessary to take into account all the nuances, but this was not done. The injustice that has arisen must be eliminated immediately.- Putin said. — The state must first bring the pension to the subsistence level, and only then carry out indexation. We need to count and return to people the money they have not received since the beginning of the year...»
Let's try together to figure out what the authorities screwed up with the indexation of pensions in 2019, and how do they plan to correct the situation?
1. Indexing insurance pension in 2019
The president’s instructions from a televised address regarding a 7 percent increase in payments were embodied in the budget of the Russian Pension Fund for 2019–2021. It spells out plans for indexing pensions for the near future. But we are primarily interested in the situation that has developed with the increase this year. We'll tell you.
Pension increase in 2019: increase and recalculation
In the last three years, on average, pensions have been increased by 400–500 rubles. So,
- in 2016 the increase was 399 rubles,
- in 2017 – 524 rubles,
- in 2018 – 481 rubles,
- in 2019 -...
Speaking about increasing pensions in 2019, Putin, as we remember, named two figures:
- indexation by 7 percent;
- an average increase of 1000 rubles.
But many misunderstood the president’s words!
Putin’s 7 percent turned into 7.05...
With percentages, it would seem that everything is clear.
The President said that in 2019 the indexation of old-age pensions will be about 7 percent. The exact figure was specified in the Pension Fund budget.
“From January 1, 2019, the old-age insurance pension for non-working pensioners has been increased by 7.05 percent. As a result, the average annual old-age insurance pension for non-working pensioners in 2019 will be 15.4 thousand rubles.”
But there was a problem with the thousand.
…Not everyone received 1,000 rubles towards their pension!
Some pensioners thought that 1000 rubles would be distributed to everyone. But, having received the first payments for 2019, they were disappointed. Their increase turned out to be less than the expected thousand. The Russian Pension Fund explained:
the increase is individual for each pensioner, and its amount depends on the size of the pension!
In this table, the site clearly showed the amount of pension increase from January 1, 2019, based on its established amount.

Increase in pension amount, rub |
||
According to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation
As you can see, for some the increase was less than 500 rubles, while for others it was more than 1.5 thousand. But suddenly another problem emerged.
Some of those who receive a pension below the subsistence level did not receive an increase in monetary terms at all! That is, indexation seems to have occurred, but the actual payment amount has not changed! How could this happen?
The poorest did not see increases
We are talking about those whose pensions do not reach the minimum subsistence level for a pensioner (PMP) in the region. Today, there is a special support measure for them: along with a pension, they receive a social supplement so that their total monthly income reaches the subsistence level.
Pension + Additional payment = Pensioner's Living Minimum (PMP).
What did the officials do with the promotion? It's simple.
How the pensions of the poorest pensioners were indexed since January 2019
Let's give an example.
A pensioner living, for example, in Voronezh received an insurance pension in the amount of 8,000 rubles. The living wage for a pensioner (PMP) in this region is 8,750 rubles. Therefore, he is entitled to an additional payment of 750 rubles.
As a result, he receives monthly: 8000 + 750 = 8750 rubles.
From January 1, this person’s pension, due to indexation by 7.05%, increased by 564 rubles and amounted to 8,564 rubles. But in monetary terms, he did not feel the increase, since the Additional payment was reduced by the same amount: 750 - 564 = 186 rubles.
Now he continues to receive the same 8,750 rubles every month - the size of the living wage for a pensioner (PMP) in the Voronezh region. Only its payment is calculated a little differently: 8564 + 186 = 8750 rubles.
As you can see, the terms have changed as a result of indexation of pensions, but the real amount of payments has remained the same!
It was precisely this kind of injustice that Putin spoke about during his annual address to the Federal Assembly.
How pensions will be indexed according to the new rules (taking into account the pensioner’s cost of living)
Putin said: “The state must first bring pensions to the subsistence level, and only then carry out indexation.”
How did you understand his words?
Perhaps someone thought that the state would first bring the pension of the poor pensioner from Voronezh from our example to the subsistence level of 8,750 rubles, and then index this PMP by 7.05%. And as a result, our pensioner will receive 8750 + 616 = 9366 rubles. But that would be too good. Officials understood Putin's words differently.
They came up with a new mechanism for calculating monthly payments to those whose pension does not reach the subsistence level. Let's look at it using the example of the same poor Voronezh pensioner.
As we remember, his pension in the amount of 8,000 rubles was indexed by 7.05 percent from January 2019, resulting in an increase of 564 rubles. According to the new rules, this is the amount that will be added to his current monthly allowance.
Pension before indexation (8000) + Additional payment before indexation (750) + Increase received as a result of indexation (564) = 9314 rubles.
Or you can do this:
The amount of the Pensioner's Living Minimum in the region (8,750 rubles for the Voronezh region) + The increase received as a result of indexation (564) = 9,314 rubles.
That is, the real amount of payments in monetary terms will increase by 564 rubles.
Well, of course, it's better than nothing!
Who does the new pension calculation procedure apply to?
We are talking only about those pensioners whose pension does not reach the minimum subsistence level for a pensioner (PMP) in the region!
For what months will the recalculation be carried out?
According to the new rules, pensions for January and February will be recalculated. Recalculation of payments will take place without notice. There is no need to contact the Russian Pension Fund or submit any applications.
2. Promotion social pension from April 2019
State pensions, including social ones, traditionally increase from April 1. As we remember, from April 1, 2017, social pensions were indexed by 1.5 percent, and from April 2018 - by 2.9%. As a result of indexation, the average social pension increased by 255 rubles and after the increase amounted to 9,062 rubles.
How much will our government spend this time?
Putin said nothing about social pensions. At first, as the Pension Fund reported, the following increase parameters were planned: “State pension pensions, including social ones, will be increased for all pensioners by 2.4% from April 1, 2019, and the average annual social pension will increase to 9.2 thousand. rubles."
But at the end of February, plans suddenly changed!
The Russian Ministry of Labor has prepared a draft government resolution in this regard (it is posted on the Federal Portal of Regulatory Legal Acts), in which the previously planned growth of 2.4% has shrunk to 2.0%.
3. Pension indexation working pensioners in 2019
As we remember, in 2016, 2017 and 2018, the insurance pensions of working pensioners were not indexed. There is also no need to expect an increase in 2019.
There were even rumors that the payment of pensions to working pensioners, in connection with the reform of the pension system in Russia, was planned to be abolished altogether. Fortunately, these are just rumors.
Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova in the “Sunday Evening with Vladimir Solovyov” program on the Rossiya 1 TV channel assured that “working pensioners continued to receive pensions and wages, and will continue to receive both pensions and wages.”
However, after they cease working, the amounts of the insurance pension and the fixed payment to the insurance pension will be recalculated taking into account all indexations that took place during their work. Recalculation will be made from the 1st day of the month following the month of termination of work.
Well, of course, in August 2019, working pensioners will have their pensions recalculated based on the results of last year.
4. Recalculation of workers' pensions in August 2019
In August 2019, working pensioners will most likely face a traditional non-declaration recalculation.
The increase in pension as a result of recalculation is individual in nature and depends on the amount of insurance contributions that the employer paid to the Pension Fund for a working pensioner in 2018.
Pension indexation calendar for 2019
Based on this information, the site’s correspondents compiled a preliminary pension increase calendar for 2019.
- From January 2019 - an increase in the old-age insurance pension for non-working pensioners by 7.05 percent.
- From January 1, 2019, an increase of 25 percent is introduced to the fixed payment of the insurance pension for non-working pensioners living in rural areas and having 30 years of experience in agriculture.
- In March (or April) 2019 - recalculation of incorrectly indexed pensions of NON-WORKING pensioners.
- From April 2019, the social pension will increase by 2.0%.
On August 1, 2016, the Russian Pension Fund will conduct an annual adjustment of pensions. First of all, the changes will affect working pensioners, who were deprived of indexation in February. How much the payments will increase, and what is needed for recalculation - in this material.
It has become known that as a result of the annual adjustment, pensions for working pensioners will increase from August 1, 2016. The latest news on this matter states that payments will be recalculated in accordance with the new points accrued for the year. It is noteworthy that officials have not yet begun to change this established procedure, while indexation for older people who continue to work has been canceled this year. What is the difference between adjustment and indexation, and what increase in pensions will be made to working pensioners from August 1, 2016?
Pension from August 1, 2016 for working pensioners
On August 1, the Russian Pension Fund accrues insurance points to all insured persons for the year worked. This accrual is individual for each citizen and depends on:
- salary amount;
- work experience;
- actual time worked;
- age of the insured person;
- rights to benefits.
It is done not only for those citizens who have not yet retired, but also for working older people. As a result of this adjustment, everyone will be awarded a certain number of points. In the case where a person has already reached retirement age, these points will be converted into monetary value. This is a brief principle for calculating the increase.
Unlike indexation, when all payments are increased by a coefficient calculated by the Russian Government based on the annual inflation index, the adjustment depends on many factors. Therefore, the final increase will be different for each pensioner. There is no need to submit an application or write any statement for recalculation; this service is provided by the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation without any application.
Will there be a pension increase?
Recalculation of pensions for working pensioners from August 1, 2016 will be made in relation to all recipients due to old age or disability, in respect of whom employers accrued and paid insurance contributions to the Pension Fund during 2015 and the first quarter of this year. The longer the insured person is in retirement, the fewer years there are by which the amount of contributions received from the employer should be divided. Therefore, in theory, the increase should be greater. In practice this is not entirely true. Every citizen, including those who have already retired but continue to work, can receive no more than 3 points per year.
In 2016, from February 1, the cost of one point is 74.27 rubles. This means that the maximum increase will be only 222.81 rubles. Regardless of the amount of current payments. It should be noted that the maximum number of points can only be obtained if you have a salary of 20 thousand rubles or more. If its size was lower in 2015, then there will be fewer points. This means that it will increase not by 222.81 rubles, but by 148.54 rubles or even less.
In addition, if the pensioner continued to work throughout 2015, then the cost of the point for him will be lower - 71.41 rubles. Consequently, the increase will depend on various circumstances.
Saving officials
Even such meager additional payments made officials want to save on raises. The government introduced a bill to parliament, according to which working pensioners were invited to refuse current pension adjustments, taking advantage of this right after the end of their working career. The officials' arguments are as follows:
- While working, a retired insured person receives a maximum of 3 points per year.
- An insured person who has not reached retirement age receives up to 7.83 points per year in 2016.
- In 2017, the maximum points will increase to 10.
This means that if a working pensioner now refuses an increase, then after stopping work, he will be able to receive 2.5-3 times more. Savings from the bill will amount to about 12 billion rubles. This is in addition to the savings that the government has already received as a result of eliminating the annual indexation of payments.
Will there be indexation of pensions?
The question of indexation of pensions from August 1 - whether it will happen or not, worries many pensioners. Some of them even asked it to the head of the Russian Cabinet of Ministers, Dmitry Medvedev. The Prime Minister answered honestly: “There is no money!” Therefore, officials do not plan any indexation either on August 1 or until the end of 2016.
In addition, working pensioners have been excluded from this system altogether since 2016. Indexation can only be carried out at the time of termination of employment. Thus, this date is individual for each of them.
BeforeThere are about two weeks left of the August recalculation of pensions for working pensioners. What increase should I expect, how is it calculated and what does it depend on? Let us recall the main provisions of the law and provide formulas for independently calculating and monitoring the amounts that a working pensioner will receive after August 1, 2016.
The August recalculation of pensions for working pensioners is carried out on the basis of the rules and procedures described in Article 18: "Determination and recalculation of the amount of insurance pensions, a fixed payment to the insurance pension, an increase in the fixed payment to the insurance pension and adjustment of the size of insurance pensions."
The increase in pension after the August recalculation can be calculated using the formula
Increase =SPK x IPC 2015
What is “what” in this formula and what do you need to know to calculate the size of the increase?
- SPK- according to Federal Law-400, this is the cost of one pension coefficient as of the day, withwhich the corresponding recalculation of the amount of the insurance pension is made according to old age. N and today there is some uncertainty regarding it. On the one hand, dFor working pensioners, the value of the pension coefficient (point) was not indexed in 2016, therefore, in the calculations, the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation can use the value of the pension point of the previous year (2015) - SPK = 71 rub 41 kopecks. If the law is implemented literally, then the value of the pension point will be taken equal to today’s value (indexed by 4%) -SPK 2016 = 74 rubles 27 kopecks. Bye oh
- There were no official clarifications on this matter. IPK 2015- individual pension coefficient “earned” by a working pensioner for 2015 anddetermined on the basis of the amount of insurance premiums paid to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation in 2015 (not taken into accountduring the previous recalculation). There were no official clarifications on this matter. Let us immediately note that the value of the individual pension coefficient in this formula cannot exceed ( according to Federal Law-400)
value of 3 points. If ordinary citizens (not pensioners) can find out the size of their IPCThere were no official clarifications on this matter.in the Personal Account on the PFRF website, then for pensioners, including working people, such information is not available on the PFRF website. However, its realThere were no official clarifications on this matter. .
a working pensioner can find out on the State Services website in the section “Obtaining information about the status of an individual personal account.” By making a request, you can receive an official “Notice on the status of an individual personal account” (form SZI-6), which will indicate, among other things,If you are not registered on the State Services website, thenThere were no official clarifications on this matter.the amount of the increase andcan be determined with the help of our

and the size of the increase is allowed by the diagrams below. There were no official clarifications on this matter.Finding out the size, it is easy to calculate the size of the insurance pension (JV
) after recalculation:
SP "after" = SP "before" + IPK 2015 x SPK,
- Where- the amount of the “new” old-age insurance pension after recalculation on August 1, 2016;
- SP "do"- the amount of the old-age insurance pension before recalculation (as of July 31, 2016).
PS.
The described procedure for recalculation (through points) is used this year for the first time. as usual, again (in addition to non-indexation of pensions) infringes on the rights of working pensioners.
- Firstly, the ceiling limit is three points ( 214 rubles, 23 kopecks.) leads to the fact that those who have a higher real IPC sponsor the PFRF budget free of charge - points over three are assigned (confiscated) and remain at its full disposal. A well-earning working pensioner receives nothing in return.
- Secondly, in previous years, the increase in pension after the August recalculation was determined as follows: the pension capital earned by a working pensioner over the previous year was divided by the age of his survival - . Now, thanks to the point principle of accounting for pension rights, this " minus the number of full years in retirement"disappeared. The pension capital added in 2015 is divided by 19 years, and not by the remaining survival period - 19 years minus the number of full years in retirement. The reason is that for everyone, the starting value of the pension point was determined once and for all for the surviving age of 19 years, and then simply indexed.
Each retired employee will have his own increase. It depends on the length of work experience and salary. But the authorities determined the maximum possible indexation ceiling, linking it to accumulated points. The cost of one point is 81.49 kopecks.
“The maximum increase will be three pension points, calculated at the cost of 2017, that is, 235.74 rubles,” the Pension Fund said.
There is no need to urgently write an application for pension recalculation and run to the branch of the Russian Pension Fund for an additional supplement. The territorial bodies of the Pension Fund recalculate the insurance pensions of working pensioners automatically, the Pension Fund clarifies.
Today, the average pension for working pensioners is 13.3 thousand rubles, Gazeta.Ru was previously told in . In 2017, based on the results of recalculation, the average increase in pension was 169 rubles.
According to the Pension Fund of Russia, more than 50% of citizens work in the first years after retirement age.
Adjustment of pensions of working pensioners taking into account insurance premiums occurs in August annually. Indexation of pensions for this category of pensioners has been frozen since 2016.
In 2017, such pension recalculation affected 11.8 million pensioners. A year earlier, 12.9 million pensioners received increased pensions. The increase in pensions amounted to 149.8 rubles after recalculation, as noted in the materials of the Russian Pension Fund.
Earlier, the First Deputy Prime Minister of the Government and Minister of Finance made it clear that changing the approach to working pensioners was inappropriate.
“We see that working retirees have higher rates of wage growth compared to our forecasts. Therefore, we said that we would consider this issue in the context of changes in pension legislation,” he noted.
Until 2016, pensions of working Russians were indexed along with other payments, but later the increase in allowances for this category of citizens was canceled due to the difficult economic situation.
According to the head of the Ministry of Labor Maxim Topilin, an additional 250 billion rubles per year will be required to index the pensions of working pensioners.
In turn, the Deputy Prime Minister previously stated that the indexation of pensions of working pensioners is not included in the package of changes to the pension system.
Let us remind you that on July 19, the bill on raising the retirement age was approved in the first reading. It provides for an increase in the retirement age from 55 to 63 years for women and from 60 to 65 for men. The transition to the new system will be implemented in stages until 2034. The deadline for submitting amendments has been extended from August 18 to September 24.
How the life of Russians will change from August
From August 1 (Federal Tax Service) of Russia will begin to publish information about taxpayers that were previously classified as tax secrets.
The Federal Tax Service website will contain information on the average number of employees of organizations, the special tax regimes applied to them, as well as data on the participation of organizations in the consolidated group of taxpayers as of December 31 of the year preceding the year of their placement.
Data will be published in relation to business partnerships and companies, with the exception of those included in the list of strategic enterprises and organizations of the military-industrial complex, as well as those classified as the largest taxpayers.
From August 3, the cost of obtaining an updated foreign passport (biometric) will also increase in Russia from 3.5 to 5 thousand rubles. Documents for a child will now cost 2.5 instead of 1.5 thousand rubles.
In addition, obtaining a new driver’s license will cost 3 thousand rubles (previously the procedure cost 2 thousand rubles). For a vehicle registration certificate, you will have to pay a fee of 1,500 rubles (paper documents now cost 500 rubles).
Finally, at the end of August in Russia prices for vodka with an alcohol content of 37-39% will change. Now the minimum retail price for a bottle of this strength and volume of 0.5 liters will be 205 rubles.
Now the MRP for vodka with a strength of 40% is exactly 205 rubles, for vodka with a strength from 37 to 38% - 196 rubles, for vodka with a strength from 38 to 39% - 201 rubles.
