In Russia will revise the upper bar of wages for the calculation of pension points

Salary above a certain limit ceases to affect the size of the future insurance pension, the limit for 2027 may become known in November. This information was voiced by Evgeny Masharov, representing the commission of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation on interaction with citizens and public control.

The expert reminded that the maximum annual increase is 10 pension coefficients. This volume is formed at the expense of earnings that do not exceed the established limit of insurance deductions.

As Masharov explained, at the moment, in 2026, this threshold is set at 2.979 million rubles per year (or 248.25 thousand rubles monthly). Consequently, any employee income exceeding this amount is no longer taken into account when calculating pension rights. New parameters for 2027 will be approved by a separate act tentatively in late autumn 2026.

The most massive type of pension provision in the Russian Federation is the old-age insurance pension. It is appointed to citizens who have reached retirement age, subject to the accumulation of the required experience and the minimum number of points. The payment consists of a fixed part guaranteed by the state (in 2026 it is about 9.6 thousand rubles) and an individual insurance component. The latter depends on the amount of accumulated coefficients that are earned annually due to employer contributions to the Social Fund (but not more than 10 points for 12 months).
