Child benefit payments per year. In what numbers are child benefits transferred in Russia? 054 – indexing coefficient

Improving the demographic situation in the country – main goal government of the Russian Federation. In this regard, at the birth of one, two or more children, new parents are entitled to certain benefits. These include benefits, the amounts of which can be set at the federal and regional levels and depend on several factors.

Indexation for 2018

In 2018, the amounts of child benefits were again indexed to the level of inflation that was observed in previous years. In this regard, there were new values, which are paid to parents.

They change every year, and 2018 is no exception. Since this year it has been installed new order, in accordance with which there is an annual increase in payments. It complies with Federal Law No. 444.

According to the new adopted rules, the amount of child support payments must be reviewed every year. This takes into account the price increase last year.

The coefficient by which these amounts are indexed is determined by the forces of the state, this happens in January. Thus, in 2018, the Russian Statistical Committee established an indicator of 102,5% inflation. In accordance with these data, the new recounting coefficient for child benefits was 1,025 .

According to Federal Law No. 460, in May 2018, the minimum minimum wage was indexed in Russia.

Dimensions and legal framework

The size of payments is regulated by the relevant legislative framework. There are a few changes in values ​​in 2018.

Billing period

To carry out settlement actions, it is necessary to take into account earnings for the past two years and divide its amount on day 730, income will be received for the day. The maximum daily earnings are assumed to be 2017.81 rubles.

The minimum amount of average estimated income has recently increased from May 1, 2018. Since this date, the minimum wage has increased up to RUB 11,163.

What else do you need to know?

From May 2018, if an employee has no earnings within the billing period or does not exceed the minimum wage, then it is necessary to apply the minimum wage, equal to 11,163 rubles.

It is on the basis of these legislative principles that key calculations. As for the benefits themselves, we can highlight the following is a list of them, which takes place according to data for 2018.

  1. Maternity benefit(maternity payments), which is the average income.
  2. One-time allowance is paid in a lump sum and subject to timely registration in the maternity hospital. From May 1, 2018, its size is 628.47 rubles.
  3. Monthly benefits. Some payments are made in favor of the parents of a child up to one and a half years old, and some longer, it all depends on the specific circumstances.

From the state and social protection authorities

If parents are officially employed, most payments can be received at your place of work. If it is not there, you should make an appeal to government agencies, in particular to the Social Insurance Fund at the place of registration of the child (and also the parents).

It is also worth remembering that working men and women can count on a larger size and number of payments than unemployed citizens who are parents.

The procedure in which benefits are paid is regulated by law and may vary depending on the region. But there is a general law for all citizens of Russia, within its framework it is established strict order of payments.

The payment procedure is determined on the basis of regulations and other documents. Registration of benefits - simple and fast procedure To do this, you need to provide several documents to specialized authorities (birth certificate, income certificates, other information).

Timing and frequency

Depending on the timing and frequency of payments to parents for child support, they can be classified as follows:

  • one-time benefits(they are issued only once for each child);
  • monthly payments(carried out once a month on a fixed date);
  • quarterly payments(in practice, they occur in special cases and are reserved for certain categories of citizens).

Benefits begin to be paid from the moment of pregnancy until the baby is one and a half to three years old, depending on the specific situation. To apply for benefits you need submit documents in a timely manner.

Maternity leave and calculation of maternity accruals

Within the framework of 2018, calculation measures for determining maternity benefits will be carried out on the basis of certain changes.

  1. Calculation is based on average earnings, which is calculated on the basis of actually accrued income for two annual periods (2016 and 2017, respectively). In this regard, the changes concern the maximum base for accrued insurance premiums (718 and 755 thousand rubles, respectively), as well as the duration of the billing period of 730 days.
  2. The minimum wage is also taken into account. It is used in settlement transactions to determine the minimum amount of maternity benefits if the insurance period at the time the woman went on maternity leave does not exceed six months. For 2018 it is equal to 11,163 rubles.
  3. From May 1, 2018, fixed amounts of benefits aimed at supporting children have been increased. In particular, we are talking about the minimum monthly amount (for the first child - 4465.20 rubles, for the second - 6284.65 rubles).

Pregnancy and childbirth

In general, the payment amount is equal to 100% of average income for the last two years. But there is also certain fluctuations this value:

  • maximum size– RUB 391,454.79 (if pregnancy involves several children), as well as RUB 314,778.08. (if the birth was complicated by certain circumstances);
  • minimum amount is determined by the minimum wage, but if a woman went on maternity leave after May 1, 2018, then the total amount will be 51,380.38 rubles.

In addition, if a woman has managed to register, she is additionally entitled to 628.47 rubles.

Child care benefits

These payments have a broad classification and depend on certain circumstances.

Up to 1.5 years

Since the duration of payment of these amounts exceeds the period of a year, it is necessary to carry out annual indexation. It is worth understanding that working citizens can count on this benefit if they take parental leave at their place of work.

But, according to the law, it is permissible to interrupt the vacation period at any time or combine it with employment. Effective from May 1, 2018 following sizes benefits for children under one and a half years old:

Additional information on benefits is presented in this video.

A new billing period has arrived. In the article we will tell you what you need to pay attention to when calculating benefits from 01/01/2017, what indicators for calculating benefits for temporary disability, pregnancy and childbirth, and child care have changed and what are the maximum benefits in 2017.

Let us remind you that the calculation of benefits for temporary disability, pregnancy and childbirth, and child care is carried out on the basis of the following regulatory documents:

  • Federal Law No. 255-FZ of December 29, 2006 “On compulsory social insurance in case of temporary disability and in connection with maternity” (hereinafter referred to as Federal Law No. 255-FZ);
  • Federal Law No. 81-FZ of May 19, 1995 “On state benefits for citizens with children” (hereinafter referred to as Federal Law No. 81-FZ);
  • Provisions on the specifics of the procedure for calculating benefits for temporary disability, pregnancy and childbirth, monthly child care benefits for citizens subject to compulsory social insurance in case of temporary disability and in connection with maternity, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of June 15, 2007 No. 375 (hereinafter - Regulation No. 375).
The procedure for calculating benefits in 2017 remained the same, but the indicators that need to be applied have undergone changes. So, from 01/01/2017 the following indicators have changed:
  1. billing period;
  2. maximum payment amount;
  3. number of calendar days in the billing period;
  4. maximum average daily earnings;
  5. maximum benefit amount.
Let's look at each of them in more detail.

Billing period

According to Part 1 of Art. 14 of Federal Law No. 255-FZ, maternity benefits and monthly child care benefits are calculated based on the average earnings of the insured person, calculated for the two calendar years preceding the year of maternity leave or child care leave. Thus, if the insured event occurred in 2017, the calculation period will be 2015 and 2016.

It is worth remembering that if in two calendar years immediately preceding the year of occurrence of these insured events, or in one of the named years, the insured person was on maternity leave and (or) child care leave, then the corresponding calendar years (calendar year), at the request of the insured person, can be replaced for the purpose of calculating average earnings by previous calendar years (calendar year), provided that this leads to an increase in the amount of benefits (clause 11 of Regulation No. 375).

Please note:

Replacement of calendar years, which are used to calculate average earnings for calculating benefits, can be carried out not for any years (year) at the choice of the insured person, but for years (year) immediately preceding the years in which the insured person was on maternity leave and maternity and (or) parental leave. Such clarifications are presented in letters of the Federal Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation dated November 30, 2015 No. 02-09-11/15-23247, the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation dated December 9, 2015 No. 17-1/OOG-1755.

Taking into account the above provisions of the law and the explanations of the FSS employees, the following conclusions can be drawn. If the insured event occurred in 2017, but the insured person:

  1. was on maternity leave and (or) parental leave in 2015 - 2016, these years can only be replaced by 2013 - 2014;
  2. were completely (in 2014 and 2015) and partially (in 2016 and 2013) on maternity leave and child care leave, all of the above years can be replaced by calendar years immediately preceding the years in which the insured person was in the named holidays, that is, for 2011 and 2012. Or, earnings for 2016 and 2013 can be taken into account, while periods of temporary disability are excluded from the number of calendar days in the calculation period (730 or 731 if the year was a leap year) for calculating maternity benefits and monthly child care benefits , maternity leave, parental leave, in some cases - periods of release from work with full or partial retention of wages, if insurance premiums were not charged on it (Part 3.1 of Article 14 of Federal Law No. 255-FZ) ;
  3. was on maternity and child care leave from November 2012 to July 2017, and worked partially until November 2012, the calculation period at the request of the insured person can be shifted to 2010 and 2011 or earnings can be taken into account for 2012 (where the insured person partially worked) and 2011, based on which option would result in a larger benefit;
  4. in 2016, 2015 she was on maternity leave and child care leave, in 2014 she worked, and in 2013 and 2012 she was also on maternity leave and child care leave, billing period at the request of the insured faces may be shifted to 2014 and 2011.
Note:

Replacing the years of the billing period, if the years (year) of the billing period consist of excluded periods, is the right of the insured person, not an obligation. In addition, replacement of years in the calculation period is carried out only if the amount of the benefit increases.

Earning limit for calculating benefits

As already mentioned, benefits are calculated based on average earnings. At the same time, according to Part 2 of Art. 14 of Federal Law No. 255-FZ, the average earnings, on the basis of which benefits for temporary disability, maternity, and monthly child care benefits are calculated, include all types of payments and other remuneration in favor of the insured person, for which insurance premiums are calculated FSS in accordance with Federal Law No. 212-FZ (for the period up to December 31, 2016 inclusive) and (or) in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation on taxes and fees (starting from January 1, 2017). In this case, this average earnings is taken into account for each calendar year in an amount not exceeding that established by the rules of Federal Law No. 212-FZ (for the period up to December 31, 2016 inclusive) and (or) the norms of the legislation of the Russian Federation on taxes and fees (starting from January 1 2017) for the corresponding calendar year, the maximum value of the base for calculating insurance contributions to the Social Insurance Fund (Part 3.2 of Article 14 of Federal Law No. 255-FZ).

Thus, if temporary disability, maternity or child care leave occurred in 2017, the years 2015 and 2016 will be included in the calculation period. Due to this the maximum amount of earnings taken into account when calculating the above benefits, will be 1,388,000 rubles. (670,000 + 718,000), where:

Note:

On 01/01/2017, Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1255 came into force, which states that the maximum base for calculating insurance contributions to the Social Insurance Fund in case of temporary disability and in connection with maternity in relation to each individual is an amount not exceeding 755,000 rubles.

Number of calendar days in the billing period

Temporary disability benefit. In accordance with Part 3 of Art. 14 of Federal Law No. 255-FZ, the average daily earnings for calculating temporary disability benefits are determined by dividing the amount of accrued earnings for the period specified in Part 1 of this article by 730. This means that when calculating this benefit, the number of days in the calculation period is always the same and equals 730.

Maternity benefit, monthly child care benefit. According to Part 3.1 of Art. 14 of Federal Law No. 255-FZ, the average daily earnings for calculating these benefits is determined by dividing the amount of accrued earnings for the period specified in Part 1 of this article by the number of calendar days in this period, with the exception of calendar days falling:

  • for periods of temporary disability, maternity leave, parental leave;
  • for the period of the employee’s release from work with full or partial retention of wages in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, if insurance contributions to the Social Insurance Fund were not accrued for the retained wages for this period in accordance with Federal Law No. 212-FZ (for the period up to December 31, 2016 inclusive) and (or) the norms of the legislation of the Russian Federation on taxes and fees (starting from January 1, 2017).
Due to the above provisions of the law and taking into account the peculiarities of a leap year, which is 366 calendar days, when calculating these benefits, the calculation period may be:
  • 730 calendar days;
  • 731 calendar days if one year of the billing period is a leap year;
  • 732 calendar days when replacing calendar years (calendar years) provided by law with leap year(s).

Maximum average daily earnings

Part 3.3 of Art. 14 of Federal Law No. 255-FZ provides: the average daily earnings for calculating maternity benefits, monthly child care benefits, determined in accordance with Part 3.1 of this article, cannot exceed the amount calculated by dividing the sum of the maximum values ​​by 730 bases for calculating insurance contributions to the Social Insurance Fund, established according to the rules of Federal Law No. 212-FZ (for the period up to December 31, 2016 inclusive) and (or) the norms of the legislation of the Russian Federation on taxes and fees (starting from January 1, 2017) for two calendar years preceding the year of maternity leave and child care leave.

Thus, maximum average daily earnings for calculating benefits in 2017 will be 1,901.37 rubles. (RUB 1,388,000 / 730 cal days).

Maximum benefit amount

Maternity benefit. Part 1 of Art. 10 of Federal Law No. 255-FZ establishes that maternity benefits are paid to the insured woman in total for the entire period of maternity leave lasting 70 (in the case of multiple pregnancies - 84) calendar days before childbirth and 70 (in the case of complicated childbirth - 86 , at the birth of two or more children - 110) calendar days after birth. In this case, this benefit is paid in the amount of 100% of average earnings (Part 1, Article 11 of Federal Law No. 255-FZ).

Hence, maximum amount of maternity benefit in 2017 will be:

  • for normal childbirth - RUB 266,191.80. (RUB 1,901.37 x 140 cal days x 100%);
  • for multiple pregnancy - RUB 368,865.78. (RUB 1,901.37 x 194 cal days x 100%);
  • for complicated births - RUB 296,613.72. (RUB 1,901.37 x 156 cal days x 100%).
Monthly child care allowance. In accordance with Part 1 of Art. 11.2 of Federal Law No. 255-FZ, monthly child care benefits are paid in the amount of 40% of the average earnings of the insured person, but not less than the minimum amount of this benefit provided for by Federal Law No. 81-FZ. The average earnings for calculating this benefit are determined by multiplying the average daily earnings established in accordance with Parts 3.1 and 3.2 of Art. 14 of Federal Law No. 255-FZ, at 30.4 (part 5.1 of this article). Hence, maximum monthly child care benefit in 2017 it will be equal to 23,120.66 rubles. (RUB 1,901.37 x 30.4 x 40%).

Note:

Indexation of the minimum monthly child care benefit, which must be carried out on the basis of Art. 4.2 of Federal Law No. 81-FZ, since January 1, 2017, since legislators did not provide for such an indexation coefficient. However, this benefit must be indexed from February 1, 2017, taking into account the consumer price index for 2016. In this regard, from January 1 to February 1, 2017, benefits should be paid in the same amounts as in 2016. Let us recall that from February 1, 2016 (Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation of January 28, 2016 No. 42 “On establishing the indexation of payments, benefits and compensation from February 1, 2016”), the minimum amounts of monthly child care benefits are:

  • benefits for caring for the first child - 2,908.62 rubles;
  • benefits for caring for the second child and subsequent children - 5,817.24 rubles.
However, Federal Law No. 164-FZ, from July 1, 2016, increased the minimum wage to 7,500 rubles. In this regard, in cases where the average earnings of the insured person, calculated for the two years preceding the year of the insured event, calculated for a full calendar month is below the minimum wage, the average earnings for calculating benefits for temporary disability, maternity, monthly benefits for child care is taken to be equal to the minimum wage (that is, 7,500 rubles). The minimum wage is applied when calculating benefits for insured events that occurred from 07/01/2016. Recalculation of benefits for insured events that occurred before 07/01/2016 and continuing after this date is not carried out due to changes in the minimum wage.

This means that the situation has changed since July 1, 2016. From this date, the minimum wage is 7,500 rubles, therefore, the benefit for caring for the first child cannot be less than 3,000 rubles. (RUB 7,500 x 40%). Accordingly, from July 1, 2016, in connection with the increase in the minimum wage, the minimum amount of benefits for caring for the first child was increased. Now it is 3,000 rubles. At the same time, the amount of the allowance for caring for the second child and subsequent children remained the same - 5,817.24 rubles.

Payment of benefits calculated on the basis of the minimum wage

In accordance with Part 1.1 of Art. 14 of Federal Law No. 255-FZ, the average earnings, on the basis of which maternity benefits and monthly child care benefits are calculated, is taken equal to the minimum wage established by federal law on the day of the insured event, if:
  • the insured person had no income during the periods specified in Part 1 of this article;
  • the average earnings calculated for these periods, calculated for a full calendar month, are lower than the minimum wage established by federal law on the day the insured event occurred.
A similar rule is enshrined in clause 11(1) of Regulation No. 375. In addition, clause 20 of this regulation establishes another case in which maternity benefits are paid in an amount not exceeding the minimum wage for a full calendar month, provided for by federal law, - if the insured person has an insurance period of less than six months.

From July 1, 2016, the minimum wage was set at RUB 7,500. (Federal Law No. 164-FZ). Thus, the minimum average daily earnings for calculating benefits based on the minimum wage is 246.57 rubles. (RUB 7,500 x 24 months / 730 cal days).

In conclusion, let us once again draw your attention to the main changes that must be taken into account when calculating benefits in 2017:

  • billing period - from 01/01/2015 to 31/12/2016;
  • the maximum amount of earnings for calculating benefits is RUB 1,388,000;
  • the maximum average daily earnings for calculating benefits is 1,901.37 rubles;
  • the minimum average daily earnings for calculating benefits based on the minimum wage is 246.57 rubles.
In addition, remember that when calculating temporary disability benefits, the number of days in the billing period is always the same - 730. When calculating maternity and child care benefits, the number of calendar days is determined as follows: subtracted from the actual number of calendar days in the billing period number of excluded
from it days. In this regard, the number of actual days may be equal to 730, 731 or 732, depending on whether there was a leap year(s) in the calculation period.

Federal Law of July 24, 2009 No. 212-FZ “On insurance contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation, the Federal Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund.”

Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated December 4, 2014 No. 1316 “On the maximum value of the base for calculating insurance contributions to the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation and the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation from January 1, 2015.”

Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of November 26, 2015 No. 1265 “On the maximum value of the base for calculating insurance contributions to the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation and the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation from January 1, 2016.”

Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of November 29, 2016 No. 1255 “On the maximum value of the base for calculating insurance contributions for compulsory social insurance in case of temporary disability and in connection with maternity and for compulsory pension insurance from January 1, 2017.”

From July 1, 2017, the minimum wage was increased from 7,500 rubles to 7,800 rubles. Will such an increase affect the amount of child benefits? How is the minimum wage generally related to child benefits paid by the employer? Is it necessary to review the amounts of already paid child care and maternity benefits from July 1? We will provide a table with the new amounts of child benefits from July 1, 2017 and tell you in detail what exactly is changing from that date.

What is “child benefit”

Let us say right away that such a concept as “children’s benefits” is not directly disclosed in the legislation. However, in practice, accountants usually understand child benefits as payments that are associated with the birth and upbringing of children. Such benefits are generally required to be paid by the employer. “Children’s” benefits include:

  • benefits for registration in the early stages of pregnancy;
  • lump sum benefit for the birth of a child;
  • monthly allowance for child care up to 1.5 years;
  • maternity benefits (“maternity benefits”).

However, in 2017, the amount of child benefits changed several times. In this regard, we consider it appropriate to tell our readers about this. In particular, we will tell you in detail how the amounts of child benefits have changed since July 1, 2017.

Benefit amounts from January 1, 2017

From January 1, 2017, employers should have paid some “children’s” benefits to employees in the same amounts as in 2016, since at the legislative level no indexation of benefits was planned from the beginning of the year. We present in the table the amounts of benefits, which are determined by law in fixed amounts and are subject to indexation:

Amounts of child benefits in January 2017
Benefit Size in January 2017
RUB 581.73
RUB 15,512.65
Care for the first child - 3000 rub.

Caring for a second child - 5,817.24 rubles.

At the same time, the maximum amount of child care benefits is not subject to state indexation. Maternity benefits are also not indexed. However, their size changes due to changes in the size of the base for calculating insurance premiums in the billing period. The amounts of these benefits from January 1, 2017 were as follows:

There was indexation in February

The “children’s” benefits given in the table above are subject to annual indexation. In 2017, indexation was planned by 1.54% from February 1, 2017 (Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation dated January 26, 2017 No. 88). In this regard, the amounts of some “children’s” benefits have increased since February.

Amounts of child benefits from February 1, 2017
Benefit Size in January 2017
Benefit for registration in early pregnancy613, 14 rub. (RUR 581.73 x 1,054)
One-time benefit for the birth of a child16,350, 33 rub. (RUB 15,512.65 x 1,054)
Minimum size for child care up to 1.5 yearsCare for the first child - 3065.69 rubles. (RUR 2,908.62 x 1,054)

Care for the second child - 6131.37 rubles. (RUB 5,817.24 x 1,054)

Regional coefficients

In districts and localities where regional coefficients for wages have been established, “children’s” benefits (both in January 2017 and from February 1, 2017) will be higher - they must be additionally increased by the amount of the increasing coefficient (Article 5 of Law No. 81 -FZ).

How child benefits are changing from July 1, 2017

From July 1, 2017, the minimum wage was increased to 7,800 rubles. But why does this affect child benefits from 1 July 2017? Let us explain with examples and give new benefit amounts.

Maternity benefit (“maternity benefit”)

The new minimum wage (RUB 7,800) applies to maternity benefits from July 1, 2017 in the following cases:

  • if there were no payments in the billing period or their amount was small;
  • if the employee’s insurance experience at the time of granting benefits was six months.

What is a billing period

The billing period is the two calendar years preceding the start of maternity leave (from January 1 to December 31). If a woman goes on maternity leave, say, in July 2017, then the billing period will be 2015-2016. During this period, the income of the person applying for benefits is taken into account.

The minimum amount of maternity benefits has changed

We believe it is appropriate to note that an employee who is assigned maternity benefits has the right to contact the accounting department to replace one or two years of the billing period with other years (if there is no earnings in the billing period or it is small). The accountant should replace the years while simultaneously meeting 3 conditions:

  1. a woman wants to change the years in which she was on maternity leave or parental leave;
  2. the years selected for replacement precede the billing period (letter of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated August 3, 2015 No. 17-1/OOG-1105);
  3. As a result of changing years, the benefit amount will become larger.

But if there is no right to replace years, then maternity benefits must be calculated from the minimum wage - in the minimum amount. In such a situation, it is necessary to determine the minimum average daily earnings using the following formula:

Minimum average daily earnings = minimum wage at the beginning of maternity leave x 24 / 730

From July 1, 2017, the minimum wage is 7,800 rubles. Therefore, from July 1, the minimum average daily earnings for calculating benefits is 256.438356 rubles. (RUB 7,800 × 24 months) / 730. Here is an example of calculating the minimum maternity benefit from July 1 using the new average daily earnings:

An example of calculating maternity benefits from July 2017

A.V. Nikolaeva wishes to go on maternity leave from July 28, 2017. The billing period is from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2016. There was no earnings during the billing period. Insurance experience – 7 months. The regional coefficient does not apply. The minimum average daily earnings is 256.438356 rubles. (7800 rubles × 24 months) / 730. Daily allowance – 256.438356 rubles. (RUB 256.438356 × 100%). As a result, the amount of A.V.’s benefit Nikolaeva for 140 calendar days of maternity leave, calculated from the minimum wage in the minimum allowable amount, will be 35,901.37 rubles. (RUB 256.438356 × 140 days).

Maternity leave is a legally established paid period of 140, 156 or 194 days, which is entitled to every woman to give birth to a child and restore her health.

Until July 1, 2016, the minimum wage will be 7,500 rubles. And if maternity leave began in 2017 (from February 1 to June 30), then the minimum average daily earnings for calculating maternity benefits was taken equal to 246.575342 rubles. (RUB 7,500 × 24 months / 730). This value was used for further calculation of benefits if it turned out to be greater than the actual average daily earnings of the employee. The minimum amounts of maternity benefits before June 30, 2017 were as follows:

  • RUB 34,520.55 (246.575342 rubles × 140 days) – in the general case;
  • RUB 47,835.62 (246.575342 rubles x 194 days) – in case of multiple pregnancy;
  • RUR 38,465.75 (RUR 246.575342 x 156 days) – for complicated childbirth.

From July 1, 2017, the minimum amount of maternity payments must be calculated from the new minimum average daily earnings of 256.438356 rubles. The new values ​​of minimum maternity benefits from July 1, 2017 for different lengths of leave are as follows:

  • RUB 35,901.37 (256.438356 × 140 days) – in the general case;
  • RUB 49,749.04 (256.438356 x 194 days) – in case of multiple pregnancy;
  • RUB 40,004.38 (256.438356 x 156 days) – for complicated childbirth.

Let's compare the minimum values ​​of maternity benefits from the latest minimum wages in the table:

As can be seen from the table, from July 1, 2017, the minimum amount of maternity benefits has increased.

If the experience is less than 6 months

At the start of maternity leave, a woman’s length of service may be less than six months. This happens, for example, if this is your first job. Then maternity leave for a full calendar month should not exceed the minimum wage (Part 3, Article 11 of Federal Law No. 255-FZ of December 29, 2006). In areas with regional coefficients - in an amount not exceeding the minimum wage, taking into account such coefficients.

When calculating maternity benefits for less than six months of service, you should use the minimum wage in effect in the month the maternity leave begins. That is, if the vacation began, for example, in June 2017, and ended in October, then in order to limit the amount of benefits in June, you need to rely on the minimum wage in the amount of 7,500 rubles, and in July, August, September and October - 7,800 rubles.

Maximum sizes of maternity

As for the maximum amounts of maternity benefits, they have not changed since July 1, 2017, since the maximum amount of the minimum wage does not affect. To calculate the maximum amount of maternity leave from 2017, you need to take into account the maximum amount of average daily earnings. It is calculated using a formula that takes into account not the minimum wage, but the maximum values ​​of the base for calculating insurance contributions to the Social Insurance Fund for the billing period.

In 2015, the maximum value of the base was 670,000 rubles. (Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation dated December 4, 2014 No. 1316), and in 2016 – 718,000 rubles. (Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation dated November 26, 2015 No. 1265).

That is, in 2017, the maximum average earnings are taken into account as 1901.37 rubles. (RUR 670,000 + RUR 718,000) / 730. Accordingly, as can be seen from the table below, the maximum limits from July 1, 2017 remained the same.

Child care benefit from July 1, 2017

The employer must pay child care benefits to the employee monthly in an amount equal to 40% of average earnings, but not less than the minimum amount (Clause 1, Article 11.2 of Federal Law No. 255-FZ of December 29, 2006).

The minimum care allowance has increased

The minimum basic amount of child care benefits is established by Part 1 of Article 15 of the Law of May 19, 1995 No. 81-FZ and is:

  • when caring for the first child - 1500 rubles. per month;
  • when caring for the second and subsequent children - 3000 rubles. per month.

These amounts are annually indexed by the appropriate coefficient. Taking into account all indexation coefficients, as of February 1, 2017, the minimum child care benefits were as follows:

  • RUB 3,065.69 – for the first child;
  • 6131, 37 rub. – for the second and subsequent children.

Due to the increase in the minimum wage, the minimum amount of child benefit will increase from July 1, 2017. After all, the amount of the minimum benefit (for the first child) from July 1, 2017 cannot be less than the amount calculated from the new minimum wage, namely 3,120 rubles (7,800 rubles x 40%). However, you should only use the new value if your maternity leave started on or after 1 July 2017. At the same time, the “minimum wage” for caring for the second and subsequent children does not change. It remains in the amount of 6131 rubles on and after July 1.

The maximum care allowance remains the same

The maximum amount of child care benefit is not limited. However, the amount of average daily earnings on which this benefit is calculated is limited.

It has been established that the amount of average daily earnings for calculating benefits cannot be more than the sum of the maximum values ​​of the base for calculating insurance premiums for the two years preceding the year of parental leave, divided by 730 (Part 3.3 of Article 14 of Law No. 255-FZ ). Therefore, to calculate the maximum amount of average daily earnings, use the formula:

Maximum average daily earnings = sum of the maximum values ​​of the base for calculating Social Insurance contributions for the two previous years / 730

Therefore, if a woman’s vacation begins in 2017, then in the calculations we should take the values ​​of the maximum values ​​of the base for calculating contributions to the Social Insurance Fund for 2015 and 2016

Taking into account the indicated values ​​​​for the marginal base, in 2017 the maximum value of the average daily earnings for calculating the monthly care allowance is 1901.37 rubles. (RUR 670,000 + RUR 718,000) / 730. That is, the calculations apply exactly the same principle as when determining the maximum maternity benefit.

Now let’s calculate the maximum average earnings for a whole month. For these purposes, we multiply the average daily earnings by the average monthly number of calendar days - 30.4 (Part 5.1 of Article 14 of Law No. 255-FZ). In 2017, the maximum average monthly earnings for calculating benefits will be 57,801.64 rubles. (RUR 1,901.37 × 30.4).

The amount of the monthly childcare benefit for a child up to 1.5 years old is generally equal to 40% of the average monthly earnings (Part 1, Article 15 of Law No. 81-FZ). Therefore, in 2017, the maximum amount of monthly benefit per child will be 23,120.66 rubles. (RUB 57,801.64 × 40%). This maximum amount of child care benefit applies throughout 2017. And, as you can see, the increase in the minimum wage from July 1, 2017 simply could not affect it

When sizes need to be revised

If the right to leave to care for the first child arose before July 1 and the accountant calculated the minimum benefit (RUB 3,065.69), then no recalculation should be made. However, if the vacation began on July 1, 2017 or later, then the woman is entitled to 3,120 rubles for each month. Accordingly, if you paid the woman less, then you need to recalculate and pay extra.
You will also need to review and pay additional maternity benefits if, after July 1, 2017, you assigned them without taking into account the increased minimum wage in the cases described above (no earnings in the billing period or less than six months of service).

Final table

To make it easier for an accountant to navigate the amounts of benefits in 2017, we have summarized the final values ​​of “children’s” benefits in a single table.

Since January, Moscow has been increasing the size of the city standard for non-working pensioners, as well as a number of social benefits. the site tells how much social support will increase in the capital and who will receive increased payments.

Sergei Sobyanin called social support for Muscovites a priority for the coming years. Pensions, benefits, assistance to large and low-income families - these are just a few of the areas on which a significant portion of the city’s money will be spent from January 1, 2018. First of all, the increase will affect those who need social support more than others.

The amounts of increased payments were determined taking into account the opinions of residents of the capital. Sergei Sobyanin discussed what measures need to be taken to improve the lives of Muscovites during meetings with pensioners, veterans, large families, single mothers and parents of disabled children. Proposals were made by the Moscow City Council of Veterans, representatives of large families and other public organizations. The Moscow Mayor included in the draft budget exactly the proposals that were made at these meetings.

Help for pensioners and veterans

In Moscow, the minimum pension amount will increase. The mayor of Moscow supported the proposal of the veterans council to immediately increase it by three thousand rubles. The city social standard will be 17,500 rubles. Already at the end of December, almost 1.4 million city residents will receive an increase in their pensions.

“If you take the last seven years, we started with 10 thousand rubles. Now there are already 17.5 thousand. That is, we annually increase the size of this minimum pension by almost a thousand rubles. And in the future we will try to increase it as much as possible,” said Sergei Sobyanin.

Monthly compensation to labor veterans, home front workers and victims of political repression will more than double from 2018.

In addition, city benefits to veterans and participants in the defense of Moscow will double. They will be paid eight thousand rubles monthly instead of four thousand.

Additional compensation is provided for the capital's centenarians. Those who will turn 101 or older next year will receive 15 thousand rubles at a time. Married couples will also receive one-time cash payments on the occasion of their anniversaries. Those who celebrated the 50th anniversary of marriage will receive 20 thousand rubles (in 2017, the payment amount was 10 thousand rubles), the 55th anniversary and 60th anniversary - 25 thousand (in 2017 - 11 thousand and 12 thousand rubles, respectively), the 65th anniversary and 70th anniversary - 30 thousand (in 2017 - 13 thousand and 15 thousand rubles, respectively).

Monthly compensation to pensioners will double in exchange for free travel on public transport, as well as on commuter trains.

Support for low-income and large families

The amount of child benefits for low-income families will increase from three to 6.25 times. The increase in these payments will affect almost 300 thousand young Muscovites. Almost five times - the monthly child benefit will increase for low-income families with children under three years old - up to 10 thousand rubles (in 2017 - two thousand rubles).

Payments to low-income single mothers and fathers, military personnel undergoing military service for a child under three years of age will increase to 15 thousand rubles, and the amount of benefits for children over three years of age and benefits to large families and families raising disabled children will increase in twice. Monthly assistance for caring for a disabled child under the age of 18 or a disabled child under the age of 23 will amount to 12 thousand rubles (in 2017 - six thousand rubles). The same amount will be paid for a child under the age of 18 living in a family in which both or the only parent do not work and are disabled people of group I or II.

For large families with five or more children, the city will also increase monthly payments for the purchase of children's clothing, payment for housing, utilities, and telephone communications. Parents will also receive increased payments for International Family Day and Knowledge Day.

In the Moscow budget, the growth of social expenditures is twice as fast as the growth of other items. It is planned to allocate 430 billion rubles for social needs in 2018. Part of these funds will go to increase salaries for social workers.

From 2011 to 2017, budget spending on the social sector in Moscow has already been almost doubled. At the same time, the targeting of benefits was strengthened. For example, expenses for subsidies and benefits for housing and communal services increased threefold, nine times for providing food and clothing assistance to the poor, and five times for providing disabled people with technical means of rehabilitation.

At the same time, the city launched a system of benefits for paying contributions for major repairs, which covered about four million Muscovites. As part of the reform of ground public transport, beneficiaries received the right to free travel on commercial buses.

New benefit


Social assistance to young parents is paid to absolutely all Russian citizens. The pleasant hassle of purchasing all the necessary baby attributes to welcome a newborn takes a lot of time and requires a lot of money. In addition to shopping for the child, new parents should also do the paperwork for further calculation of social benefits. But what will it be, and what guaranteed assistance from the state will be awarded upon the birth of a baby?

What about social children's assistance?

Often the concept of “children's state payments” is associated with assistance from the state in monetary equivalent to parents at the birth of a baby. Federal legislation No. 81-FZ of May 19, 1993 provides a list of children's state assistance that are subject to mandatory social payments. Amount of child benefits in 2017 will undergo pleasant changes. Now this process is regulated by Federal Law No. 444-FZ, approved by the head of the Russian Federation on December 19, 2016 indexation of child benefits in 2017 will be held once a year on February 1, the law also provides for the suspension of indexation of maternity capital upon the birth of a newborn until the beginning of 2020. During these years, the capital will invariably amount to 453,000 rubles.

Child benefits in 2017 will also be subject to an increase according to the indexation coefficient. What kind of state benefits for minor citizens exist in Russia:

  • Compensation for registration in the first trimester;
  • Compensation for a one-time benefit upon the birth of a newborn;
  • Payment of monthly assistance to parents until the child is one and a half years old;
  • Maternity compensation;
  • Compensation to the spouse of a military man on active duty;
  • Compensation to guardians when adopting a child or taking guardianship of a minor.
  • Monthly compensation for large families supporting 3 or more minor children;
  • Monthly compensation for the child of a deceased serviceman upon reaching adulthood.
All these social benefits fall on the shoulders of the employer. There are experimental regions in the Russian Federation, when the assigned payments are made from the budget of the Social Insurance Fund (SIF). If enterprises or individual entrepreneurs are obliged to pay social benefits to their employees, they must know how to calculate them correctly.

Indexation of child benefits in 2017

Child benefits in 2017 from January 1 of this year have not undergone changes, but the second month of 2017 provides for a revision of the amount of children's social assistance, taking into account consumer price indicators for the previous year. It is expected that the month of February will index state child benefits according to the indicator 1.054.

Consequently, for the first month of 2017, young parents will receive the same amount of child benefits as for the previous similar period. For a detailed comparison of children's state assistance in 2017, look at the table. The table shows the planned changes from February 1, 2017.

3,065.59 - if the first child;

6,131.37 - if the second or every subsequent one;

Payment of monthly assistance to parents until the child reaches 1.5 years of age

So, the table shows the planned changes from February 1, 2017. Child benefits in 2017 parents when the baby reaches the age of one and a half years, then its minimum volume has not undergone changes since the beginning of the year. There is also no maximum limit to this payment. It is calculated based on the employee’s average daily salary. For correct calculation, the following formula is provided:

MV = SV / 730, where

MV– maximum limit value of social costs;

NE– the total number of payments paid to the Social Insurance Fund for several previous years;

730 – number of days during the reporting period.

Therefore, if a mother’s maternity leave falls in 2017, it is worth taking into account the maximum payments for 2015 and 2016. It is important to emphasize that in 2015 they amounted to 670 thousand rubles, in 2016 – 718 thousand rubles.

Based on new changes in 2017, the maximum value of average daily income for calculating children's social assistance is 1901.37 rubles. The volume of average monthly income based on past calculations will be 1901.37 * 30.4 = 57,892.84 rubles.

Amount of child benefits in 2017 for parents until the child reaches 1.5 years of age is calculated based on 40% of the average monthly salary. It is worth noting that if the mother worked for less than six months, then she will be accrued child benefit based on the minimum amount: for the first-born - 3,065 rubles, for the second and subsequent ones - 6,131 rubles.

As a result, 57,892.84 rubles * 40% and as a result we get 23,120.66 rubles. This will be the maximum amount of monthly benefit per child paid through the Social Insurance Fund.

To make the picture clear, let's give an example calculations, if the employee went on maternity leave in the first month of the current year:


Example:

Marina Ivanova, an employee of the Maxi company, went on maternity leave. The period for calculating the accrual of social funds for 2015 and 2016. In 2016, the employee spent 28 days on sick leave and 124 days on maternity leave. Her salary in 2015 was 140,000 rubles, in 2016 it was 210,000 rubles. So, let's move on to the calculations. Initially, we will determine the number of working days: 365+366-28-124 = 579. We have decided on the working days. Now you need to calculate the average daily earnings: (140,000 + 210,000) / 579 = 604.49 rubles. As a result, monthly social assistance for children up to one and a half years old will be 7,350.41 rubles. (604.49*40%*30.4).


After the mother returns from a long vacation, she can extend her maternity leave until the baby is three years old, but payments, regardless, are made only up to one and a half years.

Payment of child benefit before reaching adulthood

These government payments are indexed based on the regional level of inflation. Some regions of the Russian Federation have switched to paying this type of benefit not monthly, but quarterly. These are the Tyumen, Irkutsk regions, the Republic of Crimea and others, the list of which is constantly growing.

One-time benefit for the birth of a child in 2017 and compensation for registration in the first trimester

When applying for social child support, working mothers are entitled to two types of compensation:
  1. Maternity benefits;
  2. Compensation for registration in the first trimester.
Payment of maternity benefits is paid based on 100% of the employee’s average monthly salary, but not less than:
  • 34,473.60 rubles when opening a regular sick leave for a period of 140 days (from the 2nd quarter of 2017 35,852 rubles 60 kopecks);
  • 3939.60 rubles is paid additionally to mothers during difficult childbirths and extension of sick leave for 16 calendar days;
  • If we are talking about twins or twins, the mother will receive financial compensation in the minimum amount of 47,770.56 rubles (from the second quarter of 2017 it will be 49,681.46 rubles), in the maximum amount of 368,361.38 rubles.
Indexation of child benefits in 2017 maternity benefits, the payment of which is the responsibility of the institutions, will not be made. It is important to note that from February 2017 it should also be increased by raising the limit on the average daily income of an employee. Let us remind you that this type of children's social benefits is carried out once and immediately in the entire amount in accordance with the days taken on sick leave: 140 days for regular medical leave, 156 days for complications, 194 days for twins or the birth of twins.

If we talk about the payment of maternity benefits through the social insurance fund, then the maximum payment from the beginning of 2017 will be:
  • 266,191.8 rubles (but not lower - in case of providing sick leave for a period of 140 days;
  • RUB 296,613.72 – in the option of extending a medical document up to 156 days in case of complications;
  • RUB 368,865.78 – in case of birth of twins or twins.

The amount of maternity capital in 2017

Federal Law No. 433-FZ of December 30, 2015 regulates the extension of maternity capital payments until the end of 2018, but this payment will not be subject to indexation in 2017. The size of the certificate provided will be 453,026 rubles. The certificate can be used by young parents for the following purposes:
  1. To improve your living conditions;
  2. For children's education;
  3. To purchase goods and services for social support of disabled children.
