Rostov residents told how to change the order of payment of insurance pension in 2027

From January 1, 2027 in Russia, including the Rostov region, the system of indexation of insurance pensions is changing. Instead of the traditional annual increase in January, payments will double in February and April.

Previously, pensions were indexed once a year on January 1. The new system is designed to make the increase more tangible due to the effect of “interest on interest”: the April increase will be calculated from the amount already increased in February. This approach will compensate for inflation and take into account the growth of wages in the country.

february 1, indexation by actual inflation for the previous year (forecast for 2026 – 6.8%);

april 1 – the second stage, tied to the growth rate of the wage fund.

At the same time, both the fixed payment and the cost of the pension point increase in February, and only the cost of the point in April.

Working citizens will also receive both indexations, as well as non-working citizens. In addition, for them, the August recalculation will remain - automatic accrual of additional points for the worked year (up to 3 points). Thus, in 2027, the payment of a working pensioner can grow three times: in February, April and August.

The new system is already included in the parameters of the federal budget for 2027 and is aimed at more effective support for pensioners.
