The fixed payment to the insurance pension will increase after the indexation in 2027

After the February indexation in 2027, the fixed payment to the insurance pension will increase to 10.2 thousand rubles. This was announced on November 12 by the press service of the Social Fund of Russia (SFR).

According to the fund's draft budget for 2027-2029, the increase in insurance pensions is planned to be carried out in two stages. According to IA REGNUM, starting from February 1, payments are projected to be indexed by 6.8%, which corresponds to the level of actual inflation estimated at the moment. The second stage is scheduled for April 1, at which time pensions will increase by another 3.3%, based on the growth rate of the fund's income. The agency explained that such a mechanism allows you to correlate obligations with the income of the SFR and maintain the balance of the insurance system. According to the Russian Ministry of Labor, the total amount of funds that will be allocated through the Social Fund for pension payments in 2027 will amount to almost 13.4 trillion rubles.

As a result of the indexation, the average size of the old–age insurance pension for non-working citizens will increase by an average of 2.4-2.6 thousand rubles, the final figure will reach 30.2 thousand rubles. At the same time, the increase will also affect working pensioners: since 2025, Russia has resumed the annual indexation of insurance pensions for this category of citizens.
