Kotyakov announced an increase in the minimum wage to 28.9 thousand in 2027

In 2027, Russia envisages an increase in the minimum wage (the minimum wage to 28,935 rubles). This was announced by the head of the Ministry of Labor Anton Kotyakov at a meeting of the State Duma Committee on Budget and Taxes.

"In 2027, an increase in the minimum wage to 28,935 rubles is envisaged," the minister said.

The minimum wage establishes the lower limit of the monthly salary before deduction of personal income tax for employees who have fully worked the norm of working time and have fulfilled their labor duties. In addition, the minimum sizes of sick leave and maternity benefits depend on it: the minimum wage is used in their calculation if earnings for the calculation period were absent or were below the established minimum.
