Pensions to grow 10.3% in 2027: two indexation dates named

State Duma deputy Svetlana Bessarab revealed preliminary plans for indexation of pensions for 2027. The main news: insurance pensions are planned to be increased twice in order to give an increase in payments at the level of 10.3%. The devil, as always, is in the details.

Key dates and percentages:

* February 1st: First wave. The fixed payment and the cost of the pension coefficient (point) will increase by 6.8%. This percentage is calculated based on projected inflation.

1 April: Second wave. The cost of the point will be raised additionally, but with an eye to the real income of the pension system. The exact percentage is not yet known. On the same day, social pensions will be indexed by 6.8%.

Special categories:

Working pensioners: They are waiting for the traditional recalculation from August 1. Take into account the points earned last year, but no more than three.

Military retirees: Preliminary payments will increase by 4% from October 1.

Civilian pilots and miners: Their surcharges are reviewed four times a year (in February, May, August and November).

The figure of 10.3% is the average planned figure. The February indexation will affect both the fixed part and the cost of the point, and the April index will affect only the point. Therefore, the final increase in rubles for each pensioner will be its own and directly depends on the accumulated experience and individual coefficients.

All these parameters have been sewn into the draft budget and can be adjusted. The exact amounts will be known closer to the payment dates.
