What is the salary of the military? The average salary of the military

The legendary and invincible Russian army, which has learned the joys of victories, nourishes the morale of more than half of the national citizens, who are confident that the patriotic mood will strengthen the country's position at the world level. Recently, capital investments in defense have been carried out, military salaries have increased, and the attractiveness of the service has grown significantly. A surge of patriotic excitement was also triggered by events in Ukraine that unfolded in 2014.

Our army is well armed, given that Russia has the most weapons of mass destruction in the world, including nuclear weapons. This content requires a lot of expenses, which every year grow by 1.2-2%. About a third of the national budget goes to general military needs. So, what are the actual numbers of servicemen's salaries?

What does the salary consist of?

The salary of the military consists of a salary and various additional payments, and there are a number of indicators that affect the minimum level of the monetary allowance:

• Occupied military post;
• Personal achievements and merits;
• Length of service;
• Duration and conditions of military service;
• Place and time of passage (peacetime, "hot spot");
• Qualification and tasks;
• Available military ranks.

In many post-Soviet states, it is the list of these main factors that affects the size of the military salaries. Additional monetary compensation may be charged for the knowledge of foreign languages, a high level of physical training, the availability of higher education, the absence or competent exit from emergency situations.

By the way, the well-being of people in epaulets today is at a decent level. The average salary of the Russian military last year was 62,000 rubles, which is twice the average monthly income of a Russian citizen.

To make sense of the money allowance, you can use the table below. Conditionally, because the wages of each serviceman is affected by several indicators.

According to the new law, the lieutenant's salary without additional charges should be 50,000 rubles, with allowances - 80,000 rubles. Many will find these figures rather modest for people with such responsibility on their shoulders - to defend their homeland. But if you take into account that until 2012 the average salary of the lieutenant was 14,000, then you can notice a significant improvement in the situation.

What awaits in the future?

Each state understands the importance of having a well-equipped and motivated army, increasing its fighting efficiency and the level of professionalism of employees, as well as the importance of creating good conditions for them. All forces and resources are urgently invested in the development of the production of defense equipment in order to replace the earlier deliveries from other states that have applied sanctions to Russia.

Due to the economic situation that emerged, there is no reason to say that there will be an increase in military salaries, but despite this, indexation is made annually on the level of inflation for soldiers, officers and general staff.

What kind of salary do the military receive in Russia and other countries?

In the US, the average monthly income of the general is 1.3 million rubles. The maximum salary of a Russian colleague is 200,000 rubles. It turns out that Russia spends on its generals up to 140 million rubles a month, which is 8.5 times less than in America. An American soldier receives 120,000 rubles a month, taking into account all allowances. German soldier - 141 000 rubles, English - 125 000 rubles.

In the CIS countries things are even sadder than in Russia. So, in Belarus, the lieutenant receives in translation for Russian money 6 550 rubles a month, the Ukrainian colleague - 15 000.

Military charges. Salary

Members of military fees receive not only monetary compensation, according to military rank, but also full food and clothing security. All incomes (wages, scholarships, allowances, etc.) that could be received during the passage of fees are compensated.

Fees apply to those who are in the reserve and have already passed military service. Members of the fees are also adults who have completed training at the military department.

Additions and additional payments

Initially, it may seem that the salary of a military man in Russia is completely nonexistent, but this does not include allowances. And these are quite serious additional payments, which can eventually make up 50% of the salary. Financiers monthly "plyusuyut" to the money allowance of people in shoulder straps of the allowance, which can seriously differ from each other in amount. For example, a regular contract service will receive a mark-up bonus of 100 rubles for qualification, and the commander of a submarine missile carrier, on the orders of the Defense Ministry, is 400-200,000 rubles.

An employee in the army receives good housing bonuses, in case of conscientious service, the contractor is given the right to purchase permanent housing with the help of a funded mortgage system. If, after 7-10 years, a situation arises that it will be necessary to retire from military service, the state will fully pay the balance of mortgage lending.

Military on contract. Salary

Service in the ranks of the Russian army under the contract is quite a popular phenomenon. Contracts are voluntary members of the Armed Forces carrying out their activities on the basis of an agreement. The basic conditions are the age limit and conscientious performance of official duties. The first contract is concluded under conditions if the citizen is not less than 18 and not more than 40 years. It is expected that from 2017 on the service will take fighters under 30 years old.

In 2016, the size of the monetary allowance of contractors was established in accordance with two laws:

1. Federal Law of 07.11.2011 N 306-FZ of 06.04.2015 "On the monetary allowance of servicemen and the provision of separate payments to them."
2. Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 05.12.2011 N 992 (from 06.08.2015) "On the establishment of salary salaries for military personnel under the contract."

According to these legislative documents, the salary of the military is made up of a salary for military service and a salary for military rank. To the total amount are added surcharges and additional material assistance, paid annually for good service.

The average size of DD (monetary allowance)

• A regular contractor - 30 000 rubles.
• Sergeant and foreman - 40 000 rubles.
• Lieutenant - 55 000 rubles.

When entering the military service under a contract, the soldier's salary is:

• In the ground forces - from 19,000 rubles;
• In the navy - from 22,000 rubles;
• In military air services - from 20 000 rubles;
• In the navy on submarines - from 40,000 rubles.

In 2016, this data was presented by Deputy Defense Minister Shevtsova Tatyana. Soldiers under the contract receive also worthy privileges:

• Compensation for the cost of rented accommodation, if the service apartment was not provided. The amount of payments depends on the region and is on average 50%.
• When moving to a new duty station, "lifting" is paid to all members of the family.
• At service for more than 20 years the contractor receives a cash allowance in the amount of 7 monthly salaries. If the total length of service is less than 20 years, lump sum payments are equal to 2 salaries.

Service in the army under the contract is a prestigious profession, and the number of contractors increases every year, so the question of what salary the military has always remains topical? For the period 2015-2016 this number is 200 000 people. By 2017, it is planned to double the figure.

Regardless of the size of the salary and position, contractors receive paid leave every year, taking into account the length of service from 30 days or more.

Profession - pilot of military aviation

The work of a military pilot is very difficult and dangerous. And, as a rule, during military conflicts pilots are not left behind in captivity, but are being destroyed. Occupation is considered harmful to health due to emotional overload. Military aviation in Russia is given special attention, including material support and housing. Fast advancement on a career ladder and the same fast pension.

The salary of a military pilot is not less than 100,000 rubles, this is in peacetime. In addition, employees are provided with food, and the first are on the list for housing. According to the latest data, the size of the pension of the servicemen of airmen is on average more than that of civilians in 1,7 times. Pension payments are calculated at a rate of 55%, but not more than 80%.

Cash allowance of medical staff

There is such a profession as a military doctor. Salaries for doctors are seriously different from other professionals. A military doctor is one of the most respected professions of the Russian Armed Forces. This person is exclusively with higher medical education. Only an officer of the junior staff can become a doctor in the army. In paramedics there are ensigns, in orderlies - ordinary soldiers, in instructors - sergeants. But, unfortunately, this respect is not traced in the salary of military doctors.

Colonels, heads of departments, receive from 20 000 rubles. The average allowance of lieutenants is 10,000 rubles a month.

Do you expect salary increases in 2017?

Will the salary be raised by the military and indexation will be carried out? The Federal Law No. 306 of 2011 refers to the need for annual indexation of wages, bonuses and cash allowances. It is expected that in 2017, the indexing will occur in February, on the basis of price increases in 2016. But it is too early to talk about raising wages, even despite the current law, especially in the face of economic instability.

Indexing and crisis

The crisis in our country today is really serious, it was felt by every resident of Russia. This could not but affect the income of the population, which declined by 20%. The increase in military salaries depends, as already mentioned, on the length of service, position held, military rank.

Not so long ago, all those who were drafted without fail paid insignificant sums of 500 rubles, today the figure has increased to 2000. Given that soldiers are provided with food and shelter, we can say that for the beginning the amount is quite bearable. An increase in the monetary allowance can be made only when the indexation is carried out.

The indexing for employees in the Armed Forces is planned for 2017 due to the increased level of inflation. Today, the average military salary is 30,000 rubles, but the government believes that it should grow to 50,000 rubles a minimum. In 2016 indexation was also expected, but it was never carried out.

Military pension

Servicemen, as a rule, retire early. Already in 40 years you can count on pension payments, but on condition that the military will continue his service further. At the moment, a bill has already been prepared to increase retirement benefits by 7%. This indicates the desire of the state to strengthen its army. It is extremely important for Russia to have a powerful Armed structure.

It is also planned to index pension payments by 3% to employees on vacation.

Summing up the resume

The annual increase in the salaries of the military and the improvement of conditions are due to the fact that lately Russia needs to strengthen its military positions. And, as you know, for a long time the service in the ranks of the national army was unpromising and completely unprestigious. To attract people, the amount of monthly salary increases and questions about improving housing conditions are being addressed.

The main task of the state in the military sector is the replenishment of officers in the army ranks.

In general, the salary of the military today in the country is decent, especially in comparison with civil incomes. Although it's hard to earn enough for own housing. For many conscripts living in the outback, the prospects for working in the Russian Air Force are very tempting, given the conditions of the current crisis and total unemployment in the countryside. High patriotic feelings are, of course, good, but whether to go or not to serve under a contract, everyone decides for himself.

Work, albeit money, but heavy, harmful, sometimes ungrateful and dangerous, and the risk to life is already inherent in the salary. Service in the army allows you to receive a stable income now and confidence in the secured future.
