Minimum pension from January 1, 2021
The pension amount is determined based on many indicators. However, to establish the minimum benefit value, you only need to know the minimum subsistence level. The minimum pension is determined for each region. There have been some changes in 2021 that are mentioned in the article.
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 2021, citizens of some regions will need to re-register the supplement due to an increase in the minimum pension.
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 2021
In 2021, 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 | |
On the occasion of the loss of a breadwinner | - without 1 parent | 5 653, 72 |
- without both parents | 11 307,47 |
Minimum pension in Russia from January 1, 2021 by region (table)
The minimum pension is focused on the subsistence level. The size of the presented indicator depends on many factors, among which the region has an important influence.
For clarity, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the minimum pension values in 2021, depending on the region in which the pensioner lives.

The table is compiled on the basis of regional regulations (decrees, decrees, orders), which establish the cost of living for a pensioner from January 1, 2021. The cost of living for a pensioner in the Russian Federation as a whole for 2021 is set at 9,311 rubles .
Additional payment up to the subsistence level for pensioners in 2021
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.
Conclusion
A large number of changes occurred in 2021, some of which affected pension provision, including the minimum pension.
As before, the size of the pension benefit is determined by the subsistence level, which is established by the authorities of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation in which the pensioner lives.
If there is a lack of funds received from the state, an additional payment is made up to the established value.

Pension indexation
Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree on increasing social pensions. Thus, starting from April 1, social pensions will be indexed by 3.4%. The indexation amount is calculated based on the pensioner’s subsistence level for the previous two years.
After the increase, the average social pension will be 10,183 rubles. The Pension Fund budget will allocate 12.8 billion rubles for these purposes. The decision will affect 3.9 million people.
Social pensions are assigned if a person does not have insurance experience and pension coefficients or they are not enough to assign a regular insurance pension, in other words, if the person has not officially worked anywhere or worked very little. In addition, disabled people of groups I, II and III, disabled children, children who have lost their breadwinner, and children whose parents are unknown are entitled to a social pension.
Minimum pension from January 1, 2021 (table by region)
According to the legislation in force in Russia, a non-working pensioner cannot receive a pension below the minimum amount established in the region in which he lives.
The minimum pension is equal to the minimum subsistence level for a pensioner (PMP) established in the constituent entity of the Russian Federation. All regions have already approved the cost of living for a pensioner for 2021.
, which means it is known what the minimum pension will be in Russia from January 1, 2021 (see table by region).
The value of the PMP for 2021 in the regions was approved according to a unified methodology developed by the Ministry of Labor.
- This methodology does not allow local authorities to unreasonably “lower” standards, but requires that PMP in the regions grow at the same rate as the federal one.
- Due to the introduction of uniform calculation rules in some regions of the Russian Federation, the minimum pension has increased quite significantly - by 1-2 thousand rubles.
Low-income pensioners whose income is less than the subsistence level are assigned a social supplement to their pension. Its size is determined by the difference between the total financial support of the pensioner and the minimum pension established in the region.
Please note that in 2021, in some regions of the Russian Federation, pensioners will need to renew their social supplement to their pension. This applies to those entities in which the amount of the minimum pension has increased significantly.
Minimum pension in Russia from January 1, 2021
According to Part 1 of Art. 12.1 of Law No. 178-FZ of July 17, 1999 “On State Social Assistance”, material support for a non-working pensioner cannot be lower than the pensioner’s subsistence level established in a specific subject of the Russian Federation.
For 2021, the highest cost of living (and, as a result, the minimum pension) is set in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug (19,000 rubles). The least is in the Chuvash Republic, 7953 rubles. The table of PMP values approved for 2021 by region of the Russian Federation is presented below.

The table is compiled on the basis of regional regulations (decrees, decrees, orders), which establish the cost of living for a pensioner from January 1, 2021. The cost of living for a pensioner in the Russian Federation as a whole for 2021 is set at 9,311 rubles .
Social supplement up to the subsistence level
In accordance with parts 4 and 5 of Art. 12.1 of Law No. 178-FZ, low-income pensioners are assigned a federal or regional social supplement up to the subsistence level. Its purpose: to ensure that the material support of a non-working pensioner is not lower than the minimum pension in the region.
The amount of such surcharge (SD) is calculated using the following formula:
where PMP is the regional subsistence level of a pensioner, and MO is the general material support of a citizen.
The amount of financial support for a pensioner (MO) includes the following amounts:
If the total income of a pensioner is below the subsistence level established in the region of his residence, the pensioner can apply for a social supplement to his pension - federal or regional.
Federal or regional supplement to pension - what is the difference?
The type of social supplement to the minimum depends on how the cost of living compares in the region where the pensioner lives and in Russia as a whole.
- If the PMP in a constituent entity of the Russian Federation is lower than that established for the country as a whole, then low-income pensioners living in this region will receive a federal supplement (FSD). For its appointment, you need to contact the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.
- If the PMP in the region is higher than the federal one, then a regional social supplement (RSD) will be assigned. It is paid by the social security authorities.
The cost of living for a pensioner in 2021 in the Russian Federation as a whole will be 9,311 rubles . To determine what additional payment is assigned in your region, you need to compare this amount with the cost of living of a pensioner in your region for 2021 (with data from the table).
For example:
- federal social supplement in 2021 will be paid to such regions as Belgorod, Voronezh, Yaroslavl, Samara, Omsk regions, etc.;
- regional surcharge - in Moscow, Smolensk, Novgorod, Vologda regions, etc.
Social supplement up to the minimum pension is not assigned automatically. To receive it, you must submit an application : to the Pension Fund for the appointment of an FSD or to the social security for an RSD.
Supplement to pension up to the subsistence level in 2021: who needs to re-register
In 2021, the Ministry of Labor introduced a unified methodology for calculating the living wage of a pensioner for all constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The standards for 2021 were calculated taking into account these rules.
In this regard, in some regions, the PMP values established for 2021 have increased by 1-2 thousand rubles compared to last year (see table of the minimum pension in 2021).
In some regions, the minimum pension not only increased, but also exceeded the subsistence minimum established for the Russian Federation as a whole (federal PMP).
Pensioners will only benefit from such an increase - there will be a good increase in their pension. But you need to pay attention to whether the type of social supplement in the region has changed from federal to regional.
If it has changed, you need to re-register it by submitting a new application to social security. Otherwise, the pensioner will remain without an increase from January 1, 2021 and will receive payments below the subsistence level.
If the type of surcharge has not changed, you do not need to apply anywhere. From January 1, the surcharge will be automatically recalculated taking into account the new cost of living.
Let's explain the situation with an example:
- In 2021, the PMP in the Novosibirsk region was 8814 rubles, and in Russia as a whole - 8846 rubles. Pensioners living in the Novosibirsk region, whose financial support was below 8,814 rubles, received a federal social supplement (FSD). It was paid by the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.
- In 2021, the cost of living in the Novosibirsk region will be 9,487 rubles, and the all-Russian minimum will be 9,311 rubles. Due to the fact that the regional PMP will exceed the federal one, the Pension Fund will cancel additional payments to low-income Novosibirsk residents. Now they will have the right to a regional pension supplement (RSD), for which they need to contact the social protection department and write an application.
Similar changes will occur in other regions . Low-income pensioners from:
- Amur, Irkutsk, Kaliningrad, Tomsk, Vologda, Smolensk, Pskov, Novosibirsk, Novgorod regions;
- Trans-Baikal Territory, Karelia, Krasnoyarsk Territory and the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic;
- St. Petersburg and Sevastopol.
Until the end of 2021, pensioners living in these constituent entities of the Russian Federation need to contact the social security department and submit an application for a regional social supplement to their pension.
Employees of social security and the Pension Fund are already beginning to notify pensioners of the need to re-register additional payments in 2021 (including on their official websites).

Additions and amendments to laws on pensions and subsistence minimums
According to the Minister of Social Labor, some regions artificially lower the minimum payment in order to save money. According to the official, he has data on 30 subjects where regional and social supplements are provided in the range from 100 to 1,500 rubles.
It is planned that additional norms to the bill “On the calculation of social supplements to pensions in excess of the subsistence level”, adopted by the State Duma on March 19, 2021, will establish a general method for calculating the subsistence level for pensioners. Thus, the issue was resolved after the correlation in the May statements.
According to the President, it is necessary to abandon the negative practice when, as a result of indexation, a pensioner receives either a minimum increase or is completely deprived of the right to a social supplement. Only in this case, according to the President of the Russian Federation, will our pensioners stop feeling deprived.

Minimum pension in Russia from January 1, 2021
The minimum pension in Russia should not be lower than the subsistence level for the constituent entity of the Russian Federation or for the country as a whole. If this ratio is not in favor of the pension, a compensatory additional payment will be paid from the federal and regional budgets.
The size of the minimum pension in 2021 by region
To determine the size of the minimum pension at the beginning of 2021, the current indicators of the subsistence level (ML) in each region will be used. Their regular increases take place in the first quarter of each year. Therefore, PFR specialists will adjust the pension amount as they receive regulatory acts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation that approve new PM values.
The cost of living indicators, and therefore the minimum pension amount at the beginning of 2021, are shown in the table.

Pension benefits for residents of Perm and the Perm region in 2020
Under certain circumstances, the state takes care of the income of citizens. As a rule, this occurs when the ability to work is lost (or not acquired). Moreover, benefits are assigned to all residents of the Russian Federation according to uniform laws. But there are certain differences between regions.

The law provides a formula for calculation. It divides old age or disability benefits into several components. They are:
Minimum pension in Russia in 2021 - table by region
From January 1, 2021, in Russia as a whole and in its individual regions, new values of the living wage for a pensioner will begin to apply.
This indicator, albeit indirectly, determines the amount of the minimum old-age insurance pension for residents of specific regions, republics and territories of our country.
Let's find out what the minimum old-age pension will be in Russia from January 1, 2021 - a table of specific amounts for all regions of the country.
What kind of living wage are we talking about?
The expression “living wage” in relation to pensioners can have two meanings in Russia. And older Russians sometimes confuse them, so it’s worth recalling some nuances.
There is a statistical living wage. It is calculated every quarter of the calendar year. Rosstat monitors the cost of goods included in the consumer basket.
Then, using a certain methodology, the cost of living is determined in a specific region and in the country as a whole.
Moreover, four different figures are obtained: the cost of living for people of working age, pensioners, children, as well as the average value “per capita”.
At the same time, for pensioners, another value is determined - the pensioner’s subsistence level (PMP) for calculating the amount of social supplement.
The amount of PMP is no longer determined by Rosstat, but by the authorities of each Russian region and the government of the country (it sets a certain average figure for Russia). PMP is installed once a year - in the fall or even at the beginning of winter.
This value is calculated in advance and is valid from January 1 of the next calendar year.
Until recently, PMP may not have been correlated with the statistical subsistence level at all. There was simply no single method for calculating such a value. Now this technique has appeared, and the PMP more adequately reflects reality.
The meaning of the PMP is that a pensioner in any Russian region cannot have an income less than this value. If his pension accrued to the Pension Fund is lower than the PMP, and there is no other income, the person is paid a social supplement. It equalizes the pension to the pensioner’s living wage.
At least that's how it worked until 2021. Now the scheme for calculating minimum pensions has become a little more complex, but more profitable for older Russians.
Minimum pension and PMP are no longer synonymous
There are not so few people in Russia who receive a minimum pension. And in most cases, people are not at all to blame for what happened to them in old age. They worked honestly for decades and received good salaries. But the Pension Fund awarded them a pension less than the subsistence level.
In many cases, this happened due to the fact that at one time the archives, which contained the information necessary for calculating pensions, disappeared. Often the destruction of archives was beneficial to certain people. And the interests of hundreds and thousands of honest workers, of course, were of no interest to anyone.
In addition to the fact that people now receive pensions that are much less than the level they deserve, they have been haunted by another injustice for many years.
The point is the methodology by which minimum pensions were indexed at the beginning of each year. The amount that was calculated by the Pension Fund and which was less than the subsistence level was subject to recalculation.
The accrued pension increased, but this did not guarantee that a person would receive more in the new year. If the PMP in the region did not increase or increased slightly (and there are areas in Russia where the PMP did not grow for years or increased by mocking amounts of 2-3 rubles), the pension remained the same.
It’s just that the social supplement decreased as much as the accrued pension increased.
In the spring of 2021, the law was changed, and now it has become fairer. The Pension Fund first determines the new amount of social supplement relative to the old amount of the accrued pension. The amount of the surcharge is fixed. Then the pension is indexed to a common percentage for everyone, and to this the results are added to the previously fixed amount of social security payment.
As a result, a particular person’s pension, although not by much, exceeds the amount of the PMP. The final result is different for different pensioners. So it is no longer possible to say that the minimum pension and PMP are always synonymous.
Only those who have just retired will receive a monthly payment at the subsistence level of pensioners in 2021. Provided that they receive a pension less than this level. And that they will officially leave work - working pensioners are not entitled to social security payments.
Living wage for a pensioner in 2021 - table by region
At the moment, the authorities of all Russian regions have decided on the size of the PMP on their territory.
For this, a new methodology is now used, which is also a little fairer - regional officials can no longer come up with the amount of PMP arbitrarily.
They are required to take the cost of living statistics and multiply them by a certain coefficient, which takes into account the inflation forecast for the new year.
The following table contains the cost of living for a pensioner in the regions of Russia from January 1, 2021, as well as a comparison with 2021 - this way you can find out how much the minimum pension will increase in a particular region.
Why in some regions the PMP will not change, but in others it will grow very much
It's all about the new method of calculating it, which has become the same for everyone. If the PMP has increased very much (in some cases - by more than two thousand rubles at once), this indicates that local authorities have been installing too small a PMP for many years. In fact, pensioners in such regions lived on benefits below the real subsistence level.
And vice versa - where PMP did not increase at all, it was slightly overestimated. After calculation using a unified methodology, it turned out that in such regions of Russia it should be less than what has already been established. It is clear that no one will reduce the amount of pensions for elderly residents of such regions or republics. But there will be no growth in PMP until the real cost of living catches up with the one that has already been formally established.

Voluntary pension in Russia
Private pensions in Russia are controlled by large corporations or insurance companies. There are no restrictions on how much you can pay into private pension funds, nor do companies always provide a capital guarantee or minimum rate of return. Pension benefits are subject to personal income tax.
If you decide to pay an occupational voluntary pension in Russia, your employer can arrange contributions on your behalf directly to the NFR. However, employers are not required to contribute to private occupational pensions.
Potential plans to end Russia's mandatory pension system are expected to encourage people to invest in private pensions. Therefore, voluntary pension funds may be changed in 2021.
Labor pensions are paid in two parts: the minimum flat rate and the Russian pension, calculated on the basis of capital in the pension fund, life expectancy after retirement, contribution period, survivors and number of dependents.
State pensions are paid to survivors regardless of the length of insurance coverage or military service. The beneficiaries are the same as in the above list.
A social survivor's pension in Russia is paid only if the deceased is not entitled to receive an additional pension.

Minimum pension size by regions of Russia in 2020
Since the beginning of 2021, the size of insurance and social pensions has been increased by 6.6% and 6.1%, respectively. Indexation of most types of pensions took place in January; for some categories of citizens it is expected only by the end of the year.
What is the minimum pension
The concept of a “minimum pension” as such is absent in Russian legislation. So where does its optimal size come from?
There is the concept of a pensioner’s subsistence level (hereinafter referred to as PMP), which is used as a guide when determining the amount of various social benefits, incl. and pensions.
It is established by the Ministry of Labor, based on the values of PMP for the first half of the year in the selected subject and for the first half of the year in Russia as a whole. This procedure was established by the Ministry of Labor in order to ensure an appropriate level of social support and avoid strong differences between regions.
The cost of living is based on the cost of a food basket consisting of food products necessary for survival, including: milk and dairy products, eggs, bread, groceries, vegetables, potatoes, fruits, meat and fish, fats, tea, spices, salt and sugar.
When calculating, Rosstat uses food consumption standards per person depending on age (for people of working age they are the same, for pensioners - different), and the average cost for them in local stores.
Social pensions are essentially a living wage , but insurance pensions (incl.
for old age and disability) consist of a fixed payment and an individual pension coefficient, and, if necessary, increase to PMP.
The fixed payment taken into account when calculating the pension in 2020 is 5,626.85 rubles, and the cost of one pension coefficient is 93 rubles.
Let’s imagine that citizen Ivanova, aged 55.5 years, living in Karelia, is applying for an insurance pension for the first time this year. During her work, she accumulated only 20 pension points - this is her individual pension coefficient or IPC.
Her pension will be calculated using the formula: fixed payment + (IPC*coefficient cost) . Total: 5626.85 + (20*93) = 7486.85 rubles. Until she reaches the subsistence level in her region, she will be paid an additional 4,353.15 rubles. Thus, starting in 2021, she will begin to receive 11,840 rubles monthly.
Let's also take as an example a resident of the city of Kirov. Male, 60.5 years old. His pension experience is 25 years, and his individual pension coefficient is 30 points.
Using the above formula in the calculation, we get 5626.85 + (30*93) = 8416.25. He is only a little short of the minimum pension accepted in the Kirov region, equal to 8,511 rubles - only 94 rubles.
This will be taken into account when calculating your pension.

Reviews
As experts, including employees of such important structures as Rosstat and the Accounts Chamber, note, the minimum income level cannot be based only on the food basket. After all, in addition to this, there are other obligatory expenses: payment for housing and communal services, medicines, communications, non-food items and much more.
Pensioners are also indignant, because even in the absence of work experience, the pension is sometimes greater than that of those who have worked officially all their lives, but with a small salary. The difference is sometimes only a couple of thousand rubles.
Conclusions and recommendations
- The size of the minimum pension is calculated based on the minimum subsistence level applied in each specific region for pensioners.
- The PMP differs depending on the region, since its calculation takes into account the cost of food products.
- The lowest “minimum wage” is in Chuvashia (7,953 rubles), and the highest is in Chukotka (19,000 rubles). The average for Russia is 9,311 rubles .
- In order to calculate whether your pension will be higher or lower than the subsistence level, you can use the above formulas or use a special calculator.
- If the amount of your expected insurance pension does not exceed the value of the regional PMP in your region, then you can count on additional payment.

Minimum old-age pension in the Perm region for 2021
The Russian government quite often names the national average amount of old-age pensions. In 2021 this is more than 14 thousand rubles, and in 2020 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 of such pensioners will not improve much in 2021, despite officials’ promises to increase pensions in the country by a thousand rubles per month. What will be the minimum old-age pension in the Perm region from January 1, 2021 for non-working pensioners, how much will it increase compared to 2021? Let's learn about the life of Russian pensioners using a specific example from this region.
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.
