All Pension Types in Russia to Increase in 2027

In 2027, Russia will increase all pension categories: insured, social, and military.

Insured pensions are set for two adjustments: a 6.8% rise in February and another 3.3% in April. Working pensioners will receive an additional recalculation in August.

Social pensions are projected to increase by approximately 6.8% starting April 1. Military pensions are scheduled for a roughly 4% indexation from October 1.

These figures are preliminary, according to Tatiana Podolskaya, an expert from the Presidential Academy.

The February increase for insured pensions (old-age, disability, survivor) will be 6.8%, aligning with the projected inflation rate for 2026. A further 3.3% adjustment follows on April 1, based on the growth rate of average salaries and the Social Fund's income.

Both working and non-working individuals will benefit from the February and April pension increases. For employed pensioners, payments will be recalculated in August, with the amount depending on their accumulated individual pension coefficients for 2026.

Additionally, funded pensions will be adjusted in August, reflecting returns from invested pension savings.

Social pensions are expected to rise by an estimated 6.8% from April 1. The Ministry of Labor has not yet finalized the exact coefficient, as it is tied to the minimum living cost for pensioners.

Social pensions are provided to individuals lacking the required work history and pension coefficients for insured pensions, as well as to disabled individuals and those who have lost a breadwinner without sufficient insurance record.

Military pensions are slated for an approximate 4% indexation starting October 1, linked to an increase in military personnel's monetary allowances, Podolskaya concluded.
