Necessary data for calculating a military pension
The pension is assigned at the end of service. If such a person later finds a job in civilian life, he has the right to another pension.
The basis of the calculation using the calculator or not is the basic value, which includes the result of summing up salaries by rank and position. The basic basis also includes increases in length of service.
What factors determine the amount of the pension benefit (taken into account using the calculator):
- salary value by rank;
- salary value for the position;
- amount of bonus for length of service;
- length of military service.
If, according to the last point, more years of service are established (than required), for each “extra” year an additional 3% is added to the base part (for mixed length of service - 1%).

Also, the calculations made by the calculator involve a reduction factor, which is periodically indexed (increased).
Allowances
It is standard practice to include allowances in calculations. Among the standard allowances, it should be noted: EDV, intended for combat veterans, as well as “northern payments” (explained by the need to endure the unfavorable climate at the place of service).
You should also pay attention to the following legal provisions:
- The addition of amounts to the long-service pension is regulated by Art. 16 and 17 of Law No. 4468-1;
- the addition of amounts to the disability pension is enshrined here in Art. 24;
- adding amounts to the survivor's pension - in Art. 38.
The qualification category of the military airborne forces from the flight personnel also makes it possible to assign an increase.
Disabled members of the family of a deceased serviceman under Art. 38 of Law No. 4468-1 has the right to claim certain supplements to the survivor's benefit.
Scroll:
- if the recipient has a disability 1 gr. or over 80 years of age - plus 100% of the RRP;
- if these are disabled children and disabled children of 1st and 2nd grade, who have lost one or both parents - plus 32% of the RRP;
- if spouses, father or mother lost two breadwinners - plus 200% of the RRP;
- if children are studying full-time - plus 200% of the RRP;
- if these are disabled children of 1st and 2nd grade who have lost their parents - plus 200% of the RRP.
In some situations, when several grounds are found at once, only one can be used to increase the military pension.
Holds
The resulting amount varies due to deductions. They are not involved in the initial calculations. Only after you have made the calculation using the calculator and assigned a pension, can you withhold part of it by court decision. This is initiated by the plaintiff in accordance with his claims. They are no different from claims made against civilians. Often the reason for withholding is the need to pay alimony.

But that's not all. You can collect the required amount in accordance with the debt to various credit institutions and simply legal entities. The deduction will be made by bailiffs, to whom the plaintiff will take the received court decision to begin enforcement proceedings. By law, no more than half of a military pension is subject to withholding.
Features of calculating a military pension
For the calculation, the values of the salary of a military position, salary of a military rank, and bonuses for length of service are used.
The calculation depends entirely on the type of pension payments, and there are several of them:
- Long service pension : basic and mixed. It is provided to persons who have reached a certain period of service, which is fixed by law and is 20 years. Length of service makes it possible to obtain a military pension. In the second case, the total length of service of the serviceman is taken into account, which includes both civilian and military experience. When assigning a mixed type of long-service pension, the following conditions are important and must be fully met:
- Reaching the age of 45 years;
- The total length of service must be 25 years, 12.5 of which are military service;
- Leaving service for reasons of age, health problems or certain departmental reasons.
- Disability payments . The benefit is granted subject to proof that the injury occurred as a result of military service. Does not depend on length of service;
- Payments due to death . In a similar way, they are assigned to relatives when establishing the fact of involvement in the death of military service. It also does not depend on the length of service;
- Labor pension for military personnel (this type of payment was introduced in 2008). It is also called the second payment, which can be assigned to a military personnel if, after leaving service, he continued to work in a civilian organization. Law 400 “On Insurance Pensions” applies here. To assign a second pension, all the following conditions will need to be met:
- Reach the age limit required to assign a labor pension;
- Have a minimum of completed civilian experience;
- Have the required number of pension points;
- Receive a military pension.
It is important to know! Benefits for disabled people of group 3
Some categories of military personnel have the right to lower the age limit to 10 years for obtaining a labor pension. These include persons serving in particularly dangerous places, in the north and in Chernobyl.

Algorithm for calculating a military personnel pension
You can calculate your military pension yourself, based on the existing formula. An alternative is to use a calculator. Such a calculator is also available on the website of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
Who receives a long-service pension:
- persons whose service period is 20 calendar years or more - the pension is 50% of the salary and for each subsequent year 3% is added (the final figure will not exceed 85%);
- persons whose total length of service is more than 25 years and half of them are during military service are entitled to 50% of the allowance + 1% annually.
Formula
Calculation of military pensions without a calculator is carried out using the formula: P = BC * PK * (50% + 3% * ST) / 100%.
Values:
- P is the size of the pension;
- BC – base part;
- ST – number of years more than the prescribed norm;
- PC – reduction factor.
Using an online calculator, it is easy to calculate the size of a military pension, taking into account the law. The result of this calculation will be preliminary and the actual amount may vary slightly. The calculation in the calculator gives an approximate idea of the future benefit.
Disability counting
For military citizens who become disabled during service, or within a 3-month period after dismissal, a special calculation procedure is established. It is regulated in paragraph 2 of Federal Law No. 166 of 2001 on state pension provision in Russia.
How much is required when receiving disability due to a military injury:
- Disabled I gr. receives 300% of the calculated benefit amount, which may correspond to the social RP;
- disabled person II gr. receives 250%;
- disabled person III gr. gets 175%.
This takes into account wounds, concussions, injuries or diseases received while defending Russia or defending its interests.
How much is required when receiving disability due to illness:
- Disabled I gr. receives 250%;
- disabled person II gr. receives 200%;
- disabled person III gr. receives 150%.
Injuries received or illness experienced occur during the period of service, but are not directly related to the performance of one’s official duties.
Indexation of basic pension
Indexation of military pensions should be expected only in October 2021. Along with this, there will be a standard increase in salaries. It is believed that the expected increase will go to approximately 2.6 million citizens.
Since an indexation coefficient of 3% was assigned in October 2021, it is still in effect and is taken into account in the calculator. The expected indexation figure is 3.7%. It will also be taken into account in the calculator.
Features of the calculator for calculating military pensions
In Russia, pensions depend on many factors, such as the category of the population and length of service. Civilians with the required work experience can count on an insurance pension; in case of too short or no work experience, the state provides for the payment of social benefits. Today, you can determine the approximately exact amount of your pension using numerous online calculators.
Former security officials are a special category, and here you need to know many nuances and study some details. To understand the system by which funds are accrued, you need to know about the conditions and laws of the state regarding this type of financing. The calculator calculates the approximate amount of the pension . To calculate, you must enter the following data:
- HVZ size.
- OVD size.
- Allowance for combat veterans
- Allowance for flight crew members.
- Longevity bonus.
- Total duration of military service.
- Regional coefficient.
- Calculation date.
Using a calculator is a convenient way to familiarize yourself with the principle of calculating a military pension. Using the service, you can analyze how the amount decreases or increases for various preferential lengths of service, bonuses and salaries.
Calculation of military pensions is carried out on the basis of the following documentation:
- Article 12 of Federal Law No. 76 of May 25, 1998 on the establishment of monetary allowances.
- Order of the Ministry of Defense No. 2700 on the provision of monetary allowances.
- Government Decree No. 992 of 12/05/11 on establishing salaries for military personnel who serve under contract.
- Government Decree No. 1237** dated December 30, 2011 on the approval of bonus coefficients for employees serving in the Far North.
- Government Decree No. 396 of May 23, 2000 on the qualifications of state aviation pilots.
Attention! The coefficient size varies from 1.1 to 2.0. This value depends on the place of military service.
How to calculate the second pension?
For your next pension you will need the following:
- the retirement age for military personnel has been reached;
- the basic pension was approved before this;
- have a civil service record after retirement of 12 years;
- There is a required total of individual points - a minimum of 21.
If at the time of reaching retirement age the required number of points has not been accumulated, the person does not have the right to claim a second pension.
The second pension is calculated using the formula: RP = KIB * SB.
Values:
- RP is the size of the pension;
- KIB - number of points;
- SB - pension point value.
If the user knows the number of points available and the cost of one of them, it will be possible to make a calculation. The information is clarified when visiting the Pension Fund or viewing it in your account on the website. This information is also available in the account on the State Services portal.
Example
For example, a person has accumulated 62 pension coefficients and also has 2 years of military service experience. This was not taken into account when assigning a pension from the Ministry of Defense. This service is allowed to be counted in the “civil” period with the assignment of 3.6 b. Since one point in 2021 is equal to 98.86 rubles, the amount of another pension benefit will be 6485.21 rubles. The calculation is: 98.86 × (62 +3.6).
This amount of money is payable every month until the next indexation date. To make the calculation easier for yourself, you need to use a calculator.
Calculation of military pensions in 2021
To calculate on the calculator, salaries by military position (MVD) and salaries by military rank (OVZ) are given in accordance with the Order of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation dated December 6, 2021 “On the procedure for providing monetary allowances to military personnel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.”
Important! The appointment of new salaries came into force on October 1, 2021, and the new procedure for providing monetary allowances has been in effect since January 27, 2021 - 10 days after January 16, 2021 - the date of its official publication.
From October 1, 2021, the reduction factor has increased. Its value increased from 0.7223 to 0.7368, which means that to calculate the size of the pension it is necessary to take into account 73.68% of the amount of the military pension.
Reference! The increase in pensions in 2021 was carried out as a result of an increase in the DD of military personnel by 4.3% and additional indexation of payments by another 2%.
Military pension calculator
You can calculate the approximate amount of upcoming payments using a calculator for military personnel. The information this tool uses is as follows:
- rank;
- amount of bonus for length of service;
- experience;
- basic salary;
- regional factor (coefficient).
The service helps future and current pensioners understand the principle in accordance with which accruals are made.
Important! The result is for demonstrative purposes; the NachFin pension calculator does not guarantee that in reality the payments will be exactly the same.
Changes in 2021
Those who retire in 2021 are given a good opportunity - the reduction coefficient remains unchanged for now (at 72.23%), and salaries are increased.

Ask me a question
The limit for increasing the tariff size of official payments was 720 rubles for privates and sergeants, 1800 rubles for officers.
The increase in salary according to rank was another pleasant surprise for the military. Privates and sergeants received bonuses from 200 to 340 rubles, officers – up to 1200.
There are also plans to increase the length of service bonus. 5% will be added in 2021 to those military personnel who served one year longer than the minimum period. 15% is due to those who worked for 2 years. The maximum percentage of the increase is 70% for 25 years over the normal length of service.
