The fact is that the system of monetary allowances for military personnel that has developed today is rather complicated due to the extensive regulatory framework that establishes a large number of various additional payments, some of which are not included in the salaries of military personnel. In the adopted Law, all payments are systematized: the composition of the monetary allowance of military personnel serving both under the contract and on conscription is determined, additional and separate payments are listed, and the procedure for forming the monetary allowance fund is clarified. As for legislative acts and regulations on the issues of monetary allowances for military personnel and the establishment of individual payments to them, they will also be applied to the extent that they do not contradict Federal Law N 306-FZ.

"Salary

in a budgetary institution:

Accounting

and taxation"

Pensions for military pensioners in 2018 from January 1, latest news. Increase in monetary allowance for the military in 2018: latest news. Salary increase for the military in 2018.

The Ministry of Finance disclosed the amount of defense spending for the next three years. In the three-year budget for national defense and national security, it is planned to spend almost 6.8 trillion rubles on law enforcement activities.

As for the Armed Forces, 62 billion rubles from the budget will be spent on their maintenance (food, transport, infrastructure maintenance) in 2018. Another 14 billion rubles for certain events of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, plus 23 billion rubles for utility bills, fuel, fuel and food.

However, the main item of expenditure, which will greatly please the military, will be the indexation of monetary allowances and military pensions. The budget for three years includes the indexation of military salaries and pensions by 4%. This has not been done for five years.

“The last time a serious increase was in 2012. Although the state legally assumed the obligation to index monetary allowances in accordance with inflation, ”says a military political scientist, associate professor of the Department of Political Science and Sociology of the Russian University of Economics. Plekhanov Alexander Perendzhiev.

“Today, the military profession is really associated with a risk to health and life due to participation in hot spots, primarily in Syria. The military threat against Russia is growing. The authorities must be sure that the servicemen trust them, especially in the conditions of hybrid, geo-economic and military pressure on Russia,” the expert says.

Since the new year, the state is returning to the practice of indexing monetary allowances to the level of inflation. Earlier, an amendment was made to the budget to allocate 53 billion rubles for this in 2018, 66 billion in 2019 and 122 billion in 2020. As a result, over three years the budget will spend about 240 billion rubles on the indexation of monetary allowances.

The VZGLYAD newspaper has a telegram dated November 17, 2017 from the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Tatyana Shevtsova. It was sent to all deputy commanders of the military districts for financial and economic work and to the heads of the financial support department of the Ministry of Defense by regions.

The telegram says that, in accordance with the order of the Russian government dated November 3, 2017, the Ministry of Defense is preparing to increase the salaries of military personnel by 4% from January 1, 2018. Thanks to this, pensions for former servicemen, which depend on the current salaries, will also be increased. Until December 7, 2017, all Required documents for the payment of pensions in new amounts for January 2018, the telegram says.

In other words, the increase in 2018 is a done deal. This practice is expected to continue in 2019 and 2020.

According to the publication, the indexation will affect at least 2.7 million people. This includes 1 million who serve in the Armed Forces. Plus, employees of the internal affairs bodies, the Federal Penitentiary Service, the National Guard and the fire service (by law they are equated with military personnel) - this is another 1.7 million. However, another 900 thousand civilian personnel work in the ranks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. If indexation also affects them, then about 3.6 million people are waiting for an increase in salaries. In addition, probably, indexation awaits employees of the FSB, the FSO and the Foreign Intelligence Service, they are also classified as military personnel.

According to calculators law firm"Strategy", the salary of a squad leader with the rank of sergeant (excluding VAT) will increase from 18,705 to 19,453 rubles, that is, by 748 rubles. And, for example, the salary of the army commander, lieutenant general, will increase from 51,330 to 53,383 rubles, or by 2,053 rubles. Without deducting VAT, of course, salaries are higher (you can see them on the plate).

But, of course, the military never receive a "naked" salary.

There is a huge bonus system.

“There are allowances that are paid in any case, for example for length of service, which depends only on the length of military service. Other allowances must be earned, ”says Yevgeny Darchenko, leading legal adviser to the law firm Strategy, to the VZGLYAD newspaper.

So, for length of service from 15 to 20 years there is a surcharge of 25%. In this case, the squad leader with the rank of sergeant will receive 24,316 rubles from the new year. If our sergeant is physically well prepared and worthy of an 80% bonus for the FIZO, then he will already receive 35,174 rubles. And if he also skydives a lot, he can get an 80% bonus for this, and then his monthly allowance is already 46,031 rubles.

In addition, there are also bonuses for the effective performance of official duties, for working with state secrets, for special conditions of service, for qualifications and tasks performed, for a hot spot. There are regional allowances, for example, for service in the regions of the Far North and for other specific merits that are indicated in the calculator (only individual “exotic” allowances are not used there, for example, for length of service in cryptographic agencies). Therefore, in reality, the military receive several times more than the salary itself.

According to the May decrees of the President, the monetary allowance of the military should not be less than average salary in leading sectors of the economy. Rosstat considered fuel and energy complex and finance as such. In general, according to the Ministry of Defense, the average level of pay for the military in 2014 was 62.1 thousand rubles, which was 10% higher than the average level of salaries in oil and gas production. In 2015 - 62.2 thousand rubles. For example, an army commander, a lieutenant general, received an average of 117 thousand rubles, taking into account additional payments, and a platoon commander with the rank of lieutenant received 50 thousand rubles.

There are no data on the average allowance of the military for 2016 and 2017. However, the average salary in the oil and gas sector last year amounted to 77.6 thousand rubles, and in finance - more than 80 thousand rubles (Rosstat data). It is likely that the average amount of monetary allowance has already lagged behind these levels, and thanks to indexation by 4%, it will approach it. At the same time, retirees' pensions will also increase from the new year, because they are calculated on the basis of military salaries.

However, unfortunately, there is a big fly in the ointment in this barrel of honey.

According to the calculator, a retired squad leader (5th category of a military position) with the rank of sergeant (foreman of the 1st article) with a total duration of military service of 25 years (without regional allowances, but with a mandatory seniority allowance of 40%) has a pension since February 2017 is 14,131.8 rubles, and from January 1, 2018 it will increase to 14,697 rubles.

Meanwhile, according to the calculator, from October 2013 to 2017, pensions did not stand still, but increased by 24% in total. However, in this case, it is not entirely correct to talk about growth, says Yevgeny Darchenko, leading legal adviser at the law firm Strategy.

He explains that from January 1, 2012, when the monetary allowance was significantly increased, the so-called military pensions were introduced. reduction factor that did not exist before. In other words, the military began to receive decently, but pensions remained from those times when salaries for military positions and military ranks were small.

“The specified coefficient in 2012 was set at 54%, that is, it reduced the pension by the specified value, which is why it began to be called “lowering,” the military lawyer explains.

For comparison, he gives an example. If the retired squad leader with the rank of sergeant had not initially reduced his pension by this coefficient, then now he would receive a pension of not 14,131 rubles, but 19,565 rubles, that is, 5.4 thousand more. And taking into account the indexation of salaries by 4% from January 2018 - 20,347.6 rubles.

Why this is done is understandable. The state would not pull. But according to federal law, this coefficient reducing pensions has been increasing by 2% annually since January 2013 until it reaches 100%.

“It was assumed that the pensions paid under this law would reach their target value in 2035,” says Yevgeny Darchenko.

Between 2013 and 2017, this ratio increased slightly faster than planned.

“Since January 2013, excluding the current increase from January 1, 2018, pensions have grown solely due to changes in the specified coefficient. Most military retirees will only receive their full pension in 2035, regardless of their current age. Some of them will never see their “real pension” because they will not live to see this moment. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that the pensions of military pensioners grew in 2013–2017, during this period they only approached the values ​​they should be,” says the military lawyer.

Moreover, he recalls that in the May decrees, the president asked for military pensions to be indexed annually by at least 2% above the inflation rate. But the presidential decree was not carried out. In any case, the reduction factor for six years has grown from 54% to 72%, that is, by 18%, while the official inflation has been 42.68% over the years, says Darchenko.

“Thus, the underestimation of the pension, not counting its expected annual increase by 2% above the inflation rate, amounted to 24.68%,” he said.

But the military itself is even more dissatisfied with the fact that individual citizens receive their military pensions now in full without a reducing factor, and they do not have to wait for 2035. These include judges of the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court and military courts, prosecutors (including military personnel of the military prosecutor's office) and employees of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation (including military investigative bodies of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation).

“How did a former investigator of military investigative agencies or a judge of some garrison military court deserve such special treatment? Why should a retired colonel in the military rank receive a pension less than, for example, a reserve major, a former military investigator? We personally do not see any objective justification for such differences,” sums up the military lawyer.

He believes that there should be no unfair division of military retirees into those to whom the pension is paid immediately in full, and those who have to wait until 2035. In addition, the legal adviser adds, it is necessary to reduce the gap several times between monetary allowance and military pensions, reports Rosregistr. And one of the problems is that it is not the salaries of the military, from which the pension is calculated, that are growing, but allowances and bonuses that do not affect the size of pensions.

We continue the topic of changes in the salaries of military personnel, which was started in the last issue of the VPK newspaper. The most significant event in the monetary allowance reform in recent years was the entry into force on January 1, 2012 of the federal law "On the monetary allowance of military personnel and the provision of individual payments to them." In accordance with the mentioned document and the government decree adopted on its basis Russian Federation dated December 5, 2011 No. 992 “On the establishment of salaries for the monetary maintenance of military personnel serving under a contract”, both the basic amount of the monetary allowance of military personnel and the amount of military pensions have significantly increased.

The entry into force of this law was accompanied by unprecedented PR. First, more than a year before the start of the law, at the highest level, public promises began to be made (and did not stop until December 2011) to significantly increase the level of remuneration for military labor, as well as corresponding instructions to state bodies and individual officials. Secondly, the very next day after the signing of the said law, the vast majority of the media, including the government newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta, published reports under similar headings: “President Dmitry Medvedev signed the law “On the monetary allowance of military personnel and the provision of certain payments to them” , "From January 1, 2012, the monetary allowance of military personnel will be increased by 2.5-3 times."

There is a law, with payments it is unclear

At the same time, apparently, it was deliberately (after all, it is difficult to suspect all the journalists who wrote on this topic of incompetence and unfamiliarity with the text of the regulatory legal act that they report on) was silent about the fact that the federal law “On the monetary allowance of military personnel and the provision of certain payments to them ”did not increase the monetary allowance at all (he only ordered the government of the Russian Federation to establish uniform salaries for military ranks, salaries for standard military positions of military personnel undergoing military service under a contract, and salaries for standard military positions of military personnel undergoing military service on conscription). On the contrary, the aforementioned law and the federal law adopted on the same day “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation and the Repeal of Certain Provisions of Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation in Connection with the Adoption of the Federal Law “On the Monetary Allowance of Military Personnel and the Provision of Separate Payments to Them” and federal law "On Social Guarantees for Employees of the Internal Affairs Bodies of the Russian Federation and Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation" abolished a number of payments and in-kind benefits to military personnel. Below is a partial list. To assess the change in the real size of military labor remuneration, it is necessary to calculate not only the change in the absolute value of monetary allowance, but also the value of the canceled benefits.

1. The payment of a one-time monetary remuneration in the amount of three salary salaries to military personnel who are doing military service under a contract, conscientiously performing the duties of military service, based on the results of a calendar (academic) year, has been canceled.

2. The payment of a monthly allowance for the complexity, intensity and special regime of military service, which, among other things, carried the function of monetary compensation for previously canceled benefits in kind, was canceled.

3. The relative size of the percentage bonus for length of service has been significantly reduced, in particular, the length of service at which this bonus begins to be paid has been increased (from six months to two years) and its maximum value has been reduced (from 70 to 40 percent of the salary).

4. The bonuses to salaries for the positions of associate professor and professor, academic degrees of candidate and doctor of sciences for military personnel serving in the positions of the scientific and pedagogical staff of military educational institutions of higher professional education have been actually abolished. The result is an absurd situation. The federal law “On Higher and Postgraduate Professional Education” (clause 5, article 30) establishes that scientific and pedagogical workers of higher educational institutions are paid bonuses to official salaries in the amount of 40 percent for the position of associate professor, 60 percent for the position of professor, 3000 rubles - for the degree of candidate of sciences, 7000 rubles - for the degree of doctor of sciences. The federal law "On the monetary allowance of military personnel and the provision of certain payments to them" does not contain a ban on the payment of the above allowances. However, in fact, they have not been paid since January 1, 2012.

It should be noted that, according to available information, this order was issued with the mark “For official use”, it was not sent to financial authorities, it was not brought to the attention of personnel and has not yet been applied in practice (as of June 2012), in connection with this, the content of the order is presented here on the basis of unofficial sources - a certain semblance of the mentioned payments was introduced by order of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation dated March 21, 2012 No. 500, namely: when determining the amount of the monthly allowance for special achievements in the service, the presence of a military man's academic degree, as well as his position professor or assistant professor. However, it was established that the total amount of the allowance (taking into account the above, as well as all other grounds) cannot exceed one hundred percent of the official salary. Consequently, if a soldier is entitled to establish a bonus for special achievements in the service on other grounds (for example, for a good level of physical fitness), then the amount of the actually received bonus for the academic degree and the position of professor and associate professor will be reduced, possibly to zero, in order to so as not to exceed the mentioned limit.

5. Payments for the acquisition of essential property, which were previously made in the amount of up to 12 monthly salaries, have been cancelled. For the military post "Commander of a tank (motorized rifle) platoon" (10th tariff category) and the military rank "Lieutenant", the payment was 70,764 rubles. If we take into account that this benefit was provided once during the service, then its size, distributed over 20 years, may seem rather insignificant (about 300 rubles per month of military service).

6. The right to preferential payment for sanatorium treatment and organized recreation in sanatoriums, rest homes, boarding houses, children's health camps, and at tourist bases of the Ministry of Defense has been cancelled. Previously, military personnel paid 25 percent, and their family members - 50 percent of the cost of the voucher. At the same time, the payment to military personnel serving under a contract in formations and military units of constant readiness in positions to be recruited by soldiers, sailors, sergeants and foremen, and who entered military service under a contract after January 1, 2004, was canceled, monetary compensation instead of providing sanatorium-resort treatment and organized recreation.

Table 1

The average cost of a tour to the sanatorium of the Ministry of Defense in 2012 is 26,000 rubles. If we assume that only one family member, in addition to the serviceman, used the right to sanatorium-and-spa treatment, the value of losses as a result of the cancellation of this benefit will be 32,500 rubles per year (75 percent of the cost of a voucher for a serviceman and 50 percent for a member of his family) or 2708 rubles per month.

7. The annual payment of monetary compensation in the amount of 600 rubles for the serviceman himself and 300 rubles for his spouse and each minor child has been cancelled. For a family with two children, the amount of this payment was 1,500 rubles a year or 125 rubles a month.

8. The annual payment to military personnel to pay for the cost of vouchers for their children aged from six and a half to 15 years inclusive in the organization of recreation and rehabilitation of children in the amount of up to 10,800 rubles for each child has been cancelled.

9. The payment of a one-time allowance for the dismissal of servicemen serving under a contract, in connection with their recognition as unfit for military service due to an illness received by them in the line of duty, in the amount of 60 monthly salaries, has been canceled. For conscripted military personnel, the amount of this allowance has been reduced from 133,260 rubles to 50,000.

For example, for a serviceman holding the position of commander of a tank (motorized rifle) battalion and having the military rank of "Lieutenant Colonel", the amount of such benefits until January 1, 2012 was 448,260 rubles.

10. The payment for the maintenance of children of military personnel in preschool institutions has been cancelled. Previously, its size was 80 percent of the fees paid by parents for the first and second, 90 percent for the third and subsequent children.

11. The right of military servicemen under contract to travel free of charge to the places of use of the main and additional holidays has been abolished. At the same time, servicemen undergoing military service under a contract in formations and military units of permanent readiness in positions to be recruited by soldiers, sailors, sergeants and foremen, and who entered military service under a contract after January 1, 2004, were canceled the payment of the corresponding monetary compensation.

The right to travel free of charge once a year to the place of use of the main leave and back is reserved for military personnel serving in areas with adverse climatic or environmental conditions, as well as in the Urals, Siberian and Far Eastern Federal Districts. Even for the above categories, the benefits are not fully preserved.

12. The payment to citizens with a total duration of military service from 15 to 20 years and dismissed upon reaching the age limit for military service, health status or in connection with organizational and staffing activities without the right to a pension, monthly social benefits for five years has been canceled in the amount of 40 percent of the amount of the salary for a total military service of 15 years and an additional three percent of the amount of the salary for each year over 15 years. Instead, this category of servicemen, for only a year after their dismissal, was paid the salary according to their military rank.

The analysis of losses from the cancellation of this payment will be carried out using the example of the same average officer holding the position of battalion commander, in the military rank of "Lieutenant Colonel", who has 18 years of service at the time of dismissal from military service. The amount of the allowance that would have been paid to him before January 1, 2012 was 3,661 rubles per month, or 219,647 rubles for the entire five-year period of this payment established by law. This amount must be reduced by the amount of the payment provided for by the current legislation in the amount of a salary for a military rank within a year from the date of dismissal. For the officer in question, its value is 144,000 rubles, that is, the losses will amount to 75,647 rubles.

13. From January 1, 2015, the payment of compensation in the amount of actually paid land tax and property tax was canceled individuals citizens dismissed from military service upon reaching the age limit for their stay in it, for health reasons or in connection with organizational and staff measures, having a total duration of military service of 20 years or more.

Currently, there is no reliable information about what the value of the mentioned taxes will be in 2015.

The abolition of a number of payments that do not have a clear purpose for their introduction (except for the desire not to increase the size of military pensions with an increase in monetary allowance), with a simultaneous increase in salaries of the monetary content, is long overdue and cannot be assessed otherwise than positively. This applies to monthly monetary incentives, monthly allowances for difficulty, tension and a special military service regime. The size of the seniority allowance has also become more balanced (in fact, it returned to those previously established in the USSR Armed Forces and in the 1990s in the RF Armed Forces). Salaries for military positions and military rank again became dominant in the composition of monetary allowance.

Therefore, this list is given here only to demonstrate, to put it mildly, the dishonesty or incompetence of many media outlets that announced as a fait accompli a threefold increase in wages a month before the release of the relevant regulatory documents. Since January 1, 2012, there has been no real income growth for many military personnel, and in those cases when it did take place, it was neither three-fold nor even two-fold, but was measured by percentages comparable to the consumer price growth index. The loss of an average officer from the abolition of a number of in-kind benefits from January 1, 2012 amounted to approximately 9,100 rubles per month (the sum of lines 9–16 in Table 2).

Income and benefits

table 2

In further calculations, we will not take into account losses from the abolition of the monthly social allowance for citizens dismissed without the right to a pension, with a length of service of 15 years or more, as well as a one-time allowance for the dismissal of military personnel serving under a contract in connection with their recognition as unfit for military service. on health. The refusal to take into account these payments is explained by the fact that simultaneously with the abolition of these benefits, the amount of a number of payments under the mandatory state social insurance of life and health of military personnel was increased, as well as the absolute amount of the monthly allowance for those dismissed without the right to a pension in the amount of the salary of the military rank retained in within a year from the date of dismissal. Without taking into account losses from the abolition of these benefits, the average officer has lost 6,850 rubles a month since January 1, 2012.

Now let's find out how the total monetary allowance of a serviceman has changed since the indicated date. In order not to clutter up the material with calculations, we present their result for one average soldier, whom we considered above. Recall that this is a lieutenant colonel serving in the city of Moscow or the Moscow region, having a length of service of 18 years, holding the position of commander of a tank (motorized rifle) battalion, having two children: a schoolboy and preschool age.

As of December 2011, his allowance was 60,843 rubles. This includes the following payments:

military rank salary (3034 rubles);
military salary (4437 rubles);
monthly allowance for the complexity, intensity and special regime of military service (7099 rubles);
monthly monetary incentive (4437 rubles);
percentage bonus for length of service (3,736 rubles);
monthly percentage allowance for military personnel admitted to state secrets on a permanent basis (1331 rubles);
financial assistance (1/12 of the annual amount - 1245 rubles);
monthly allowance for command (leadership) of military units and military units (400 rubles);
cash reward for class qualification (for the first class - 355 rubles);
annual monetary compensation in the amount of 600 rubles for the serviceman himself and 300 rubles for the spouse of the serviceman and each of his minor children (1/12 of the annual amount - 125 rubles);
bonus for exemplary performance of military duty (1/3 of the maximum quarterly bonus - 1868 rubles);
a one-time monetary reward for conscientious performance of military service duties (1/12 of the maximum annual remuneration - 1868 rubles);
additional payment stipulated by the order of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation of July 26, 2010 No. 1010 (in the amount of one third of the calculated value for the IV quarter of 2011 - 40,000 rubles).

The amount received was reduced by the amount of personal income tax - 9092 rubles.

The calculation of the monetary allowance received in 2012 was made on the basis of the provisions of the order of the Minister of Defense dated December 30, 2011 No. 2700. At the same time, the said order was returned by the Ministry of Justice without state registration (letter of the Ministry of Justice of Russia dated March 12, 2012 No. 01 / 17687-DK) . In accordance with the rules for the entry into force of normative legal acts of federal executive bodies, such an order is not subject to application as it has not entered into force.

As a result, a legal vacuum has now formed. Order of the Minister of Defense dated June 30, 2006 No. 200 “On approval of the procedure for providing monetary allowance to military personnel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation” ceased to comply with regulatory legal acts of a higher level (the federal law “On the monetary allowance of military personnel and the provision of certain payments to them” and adopted in accordance with him by the decrees of the government of the Russian Federation), but has not been formally canceled. The order of the head of the military department of December 30, 2011 No. 2700, designed to eliminate the existing gaps in legal regulation, has not entered into force and, most likely, will not enter into its current form. The financial bodies of the Armed Forces are currently forced to be guided in their activities for the calculation of monetary allowances not by current regulatory legal acts, but by telegrams, explanations, inactive acts of military command and control bodies, in particular by the aforementioned order of the Minister of Defense dated December 30, 2011 No. 2700. In view of the foregoing the calculation given here is also based on the contents of the last order.

On January 1, 2012, the same serviceman began to receive 64,206 rubles. This amount was obtained by taking into account the following components of the monetary allowance:

military rank salary (12,000 rubles);
salary for a military position (24,000 rubles);
percentage bonus for length of service (9,000 rubles);
cash reward for class qualification (for the first class - 4800 rubles);
monthly allowance for special conditions of military service (7200 rubles);
monthly allowance for work with information constituting a state secret (4,800 rubles);
bonus for conscientious and efficient performance of official duties (1/3 of the maximum quarterly bonus - 9,000 rubles);
annual financial assistance (1/12 of the annual amount - 3000 rubles).

The final value is also reduced by the amount of personal income tax (9594 rubles).

Thus, without taking into account the loss in the amount of the canceled benefits in kind, the increase in monetary allowance since January 1, 2012 amounted to six percent for the officer in question (in December 2011 - 60,843 rubles, in January 2012 - 64,206). If we take into account the loss in the cost of canceled benefits (6,850 rubles), then the total amount of social security for such a serviceman in January 2012 decreased by about six percent compared to December 2011.

Table 1 shows the results of similar calculations for some common military positions. It should be noted that for analysis we have chosen the positions of commanders of tank (motorized rifle) units serving in the Moscow region, who do not take part in combat duty and other special events that imply additional payment in the new system of monetary allowance.

As can be seen from the table, the most significant decrease in income takes place for the teaching staff of higher military educational institutions. First of all, this is due to the actual cancellation from January 1, 2012 of allowances for the positions of associate professor and professor, academic degrees of candidate and doctor of science, academic title of professor and associate professor. If benefits had not been abolished, one could assume that the state showed real concern for its defenders.

Table 2 provides a list of social guarantees abolished between 2002 and 2012, with an indication of the value of benefits provided in kind.

A significant positive shift in the remuneration of military labor has become a very decent level of monetary allowance for military personnel performing tasks at risk to life and health, as well as in remote areas. Thus, the commander of a combat unit of a strategic missile submarine, a captain of the 2nd rank, serving in the city of Severomorsk, receives an average of 184,300 rubles per month. Unfortunately, in the event of a transfer to the service in the military administration (the Main Headquarters of the Navy, the General Staff), his monetary allowance may be halved. This may be a significant reason for refusing such a transfer. Who, then, will staff the highest bodies of military command: commanders of companies and battalions from brigades near Moscow?

At the same time, considering the change in the social security system for military personnel from January 1, 2012, one cannot fail to note such an undoubtedly positive moment as the long-awaited increase in the size of military pensions. For example, a battalion commander, lieutenant colonel, who retired with 22 years of service, until 2012 received a pension of 6,903 rubles, and from January 1, 2012, its amount was 14,152 rubles, that is, for such a pensioner from among the former military personnel, there was a two-fold increase in pension. At the same time, most of the previously available benefits have been retained, only the payment of compensation in the amount of actually paid land tax and personal property tax has been canceled (from January 1, 2015).

In addition, the undoubted advantage of the reformed system of monetary allowance was the reduction of the corruption component of regulatory legal acts in this area. In particular, the commander's right to redistribute large sums of money between subordinate military personnel without legally established criteria for such a decision is limited. The voluntarism that took place earlier in this matter is replaced by the normative establishment of the size and conditions of each of the payments.

Since 2012, according to the "May Decrees", a systematic increase in wages for all state employees, including military personnel, is planned. As a result, by 2018, the salary of all categories should have increased to 200 percent. For several years, promises were kept and the salaries of military personnel were regularly increased. But in connection with the crisis, it was announced that military salaries would not be indexed. This situation has been going on for several years. According to breaking news the monetary allowance of military personnel in 2018 will again be indexed.

Calculation of monetary allowance in Russia

The opportunity to serve in the army under a contract allowed Russian citizens to find new job prospects. Of course, there is no need to talk about large sums at first, but in the future the figure can become impressive.
The salary of military personnel depends on many factors:

1. Salary, which is affected by the rank and position of a soldier.
2. Locations of the military unit.
3. Secrecy: its special conditions add 65 percent to the salary.
4. Qualification exams, the successful passing of which can add 30 percent to the salary.
5. Risk conditions - here the premium can be 100 percent.
6. Special achievements, the award for which can also be calculated as a 100% bonus.

In addition, a member of the military may receive a bonus of up to 25% of the salary accrued for excellent service.

A number of allowances that are due to the military are related to housing conditions:

• compensation for payment of rented housing;
• one-time payments for settling in a new place of residence.

The gradation of military salaries, based on rank and position, is presented in the following table:

Thus, the average salary of a career officer is about fifty thousand rubles.

To find out the approximate salary based on the position, allowances and other factors, each military man can use the services of a specially designed calculator. In order to find out the salary, it is enough to enter the rank, rank and qualification. And choosing additional terms, you can find out the amount of the premium and additional payments due.

How did the increase in the monetary allowance of military personnel take place and what to expect in 2018

In November 2011, a decree was signed according to which wage servicemen increased by 2.5 times. More about the event in the video:

In 2012, a regulation on annual indexation was adopted. The year 2014 was marked by the signing of a law on increasing the monetary allowance for military personnel serving under a contract and conscription in the territories of Crimea and Sevastopol
As you know, for several years, due to the crisis, military salaries have not been indexed. What can military personnel expect from January 1, 2018?

There are conflicting opinions on this.:

1. On the one hand, there is a new draft law with a special register, which lists all expenditure obligations that are carried out at the expense of budgetary funds. The document indicates a fixed annual amount of allowance for the period from 2017 to 2019, according to which it can be judged that there will be no increase in salaries in these years.
2. On the other hand, in the spring of 2018, presidential elections await us, during which it is quite possible to expect “good news” from the authorities for the military and other segments of the population.

Even if indexation is resumed, its size will not exceed 5-6 percent, that is, it will correspond to the level of inflation and no more. Whether such an increase will affect the quality of life of military personnel is unknown. But still, something is better than nothing.

Judging by the incoming data, in 2018 military personnel, military pensioners and persons equivalent to them are expected to undergo a global change in monetary allowance, payments of 1010 and physical

What is known so far:

As a measure of support for other categories of employees of federal state institutions that are not subject to decrees of the President of the Russian Federation, as well as judges, prosecutors, employees of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, federal state civil servants and other categories of employees of federal state bodies, military personnel and equivalent to them persons, it is planned to increase budget allocations for the annual increase in wages, salaries, and monetary allowance in accordance with the forecast inflation rate from January 1, 2018 by 4 percent, from October 1, 2019 and from October 1, 2020, respectively, by 4 percent.

However, such a vague wording says almost nothing, since only certain categories can be selected and financed from this entire list, for example, “through the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB.”

Finance Minister Anton Siluanov brought some clarity at the parliamentary hearings on the 2018-2020 budget in the Federation Council:
At parliamentary hearings in the Federation Council, the Minister of Finance spoke about the indexation of monetary allowances and pensions for military personnel and law enforcement officers

About the most important thing for military personnel and law enforcement officers - the increase and indexation of monetary allowances and pensions, the phrase was uttered:

How long the indexation of monetary allowance will take place and in what year it will be - 2018, 2019, 2020 Siluanov did not specify.

But, if you analyze his words and the situation, you can come to a certain understanding.

It is absolutely incomprehensible from this phrase - by how much and when the government proposes to raise the monetary allowance of military personnel, police officers and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

But you can think logically and still extract the maximum information from this mean phrase.

We are talking about indexation, which means that the salaries of military personnel, police officers and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be indexed, and not just increased. Salaries will be indexed by military ranks and positions.
If we are talking about indexation, then the increase in salaries for military ranks and positions will be by a very specific amount. This value will depend on the annual official inflation according to Rosstat. It will be about 3.2% -3.7%.
There remains a possibility that even now the budget will be indexed not according to official inflation, but, for example, at 4%. In any case, this indexation will not exceed this figure.
When is it indexed? The budget has been drawn up for three years - 2018, 2019, 2020. That is, BETWEEN US, the indexation of salaries by military ranks and positions may also be in 2020. But in Siluanov's phrase

After a five-year break, the state will return to indexing the allowances and pensions of military personnel and law enforcement officers.

We are talking about a "five-year" break. NOT A SIX-YEAR, NOT A SEVEN-YEAR.

Therefore, it is logical to assume that the indexation of salaries for military ranks and positions will take place in 2018.

Earlier, a draft law was submitted to the State Duma on leaving the reduction factor for calculating pensions for military pensioners in 2018 at the same level of 72.23%

Order dated September 29, 2017 No. 2088-r. The bill proposes to leave the amount of monetary allowance taken into account when calculating the pension of persons who have served in the military, served in the internal affairs bodies, the State Fire Service, bodies for controlling the circulation of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, institutions and bodies of the penitentiary system, Federal Service troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation, from February 1, 2018 at the same level - 72.23% of the amount of monetary allowance.

There is a lot of discussion about a bill to increase the length of service for acquiring the right to a pension, and it spells out a different amount of allowances for length of service.

Introduce the following amendments to Article 2 of the Federal Law of November 7, 2011 No. 306-FZ “On the monetary allowance of military personnel and the provision of certain payments to them” (Sobraniye Zakonodatelstva Rossiyskoy Federatsii, 2011, No. 45, Art. 6336) the following changes:

A) clause 13 shall be stated as follows:

"13. The monthly allowance for the length of service to the salary of the monetary content is established in the following amounts:

1) 5 percent - for seniority from six months to 1 year;

2) 10 percent - with a length of service of 1 to 2 years;

The amount of the allowance increases by three percent for each year above the established minimum length of service, which gives the right to receive a pension, but not more than 50 percent of the amount of the pension that could be assigned to persons discharged from military service.

Article 3

Upon dismissal from military service and other types of federal public service until January 1, 2019 for persons who are subject to the Law of the Russian Federation of February 12, 1993 No. , the State Fire Service, the authorities for the control of the circulation of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, institutions and bodies of the penitentiary system, and their families”, the right to retire for long service and to receive a pension for long service on the conditions that were in force before the entry into force of this Federal Law into force.

We think that active work on this bill will begin after the presidential election campaign.

What they say on the sidelines:

Rumors flowed from the upper headquarters about an increase in the seniority allowance, the liquidation of 1010, the rejection of the physio bonus and the rejection of income tax.

Let's analyze this phrase, taken from the military forum. Everything is more or less clear about the increase in the seniority allowance. As stated above, with the passage of the Seniority Improvement Bill for acquiring pension entitlement, the size of the seniority percentage increases.

Waiver of bonuses under order 1010 and bonuses for the qualification level in physical fitness have also been discussed for a long time. For their payments, very significant funds are required, which are not always enough. So, with the adoption of the above bill, further measures may well be followed to optimize the costs of paying salaries to servicemen.

About the abolition of income tax - no comment.
