Monetary maintenance of military personnel. Calculation of wages of a soldier: basic principles. What's in store for the future

01.12.2021

The legendary and invincible Russian army, which has known the joys of victories, nourishes the fighting spirit of more than half of Russian citizens who are confident that the patriotic mood will strengthen the country's position at the world level. Recently, there are capital investments in defense, the salary of the military is increasing, and the attractiveness of the service has grown significantly. A surge of patriotic excitement was also caused by the events in Ukraine that unfolded in 2014.

Our army is armed quite well, given that Russia has the largest number of weapons of mass destruction in the world, including nuclear weapons. Such maintenance requires a lot of expenses, which grow by 1.2-2% every year. About a third of the entire national budget is spent on general military needs. So what are the figures for calculating the current level of salaries of military personnel?

What does the salary consist of?

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

  • military position held;
  • personal achievements and merit;
  • length of service;
  • duration and conditions of military service;
  • place and time of passage (peacetime, "hot spot");
  • qualifications and tasks;
  • existing military ranks.

In many states of the post-Soviet space, it is the list of these main factors that affects the salary of the military. Additional monetary remuneration may be awarded for knowledge of foreign languages, a high level of physical fitness, higher education, absence or competent way out of emergency situations.

By the way, the well-being of people in uniform today is at a decent level. The average salary of the military of the Russian Federation last year amounted to 62,000 rubles, which is 2 times more than a Russian.

You can conditionally understand the monetary allowance using the table below. Conditionally, because the earnings of each soldier are affected by several indicators.

Table of salaries by military rank and position
Military rank, positionSalary according to military positionSalary according to military rankAverage accrual per month including all surcharges
Lieutenant (platoon leader)7000 12 442 50 000
Captain (company commander)7 900 13 970 52 000
Major (deputy battalion commander)8 490 14 760 55 600
Lieutenant Colonel (battalion commander)9 100 15 529 60 281
Colonel (commander of the regiment)9670 17 500 70 320
Major General (Brigade Commander)10 896 18 630 74 000
Lieutenant General (army commander)11 500 29 354 117 000

According to the new law, the salary of a lieutenant without additional accruals should be 50,000 rubles, with surcharges - 80,000 rubles. To many, these figures will seem quite modest for people with such a responsibility on their shoulders - to defend their homeland. But given that until 2012 average salary lieutenant was 14,000, you can see a significant improvement in the situation.

What's in store for the future?

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

Due to the formed economic situation there is no need to talk about the prospects that there will be an increase in the salaries of the military, but, despite this, indexation is carried out annually for the level of inflation for soldiers, officers and generals.

What is the salary of the military in Russia and other countries?

In the US, a general's average monthly income is 1.3 million rubles. The maximum salary of a Russian colleague is 200,000 rubles. It turns out that Russia spends up to 140 million rubles a month on its generals, which is 8.5 times less than in America. An American private receives 120,000 rubles a month, including 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, a lieutenant receives 6,550 rubles a month in Russian money, a Ukrainian colleague - 15,000.

Military fees. Salary

Participants receive not only monetary rewards, but also full food and clothing. All income (salary, stipend, allowances, etc.) that could have been received during the course of the training camp is compensated.

Fees apply to those who are in the reserve and have already completed military service. The participants of the training camp are also adult citizens who have been trained at the military department.

Allowances and additional payments

Initially, it may seem that the salary of a military man in Russia is completely non-existent, but this is without allowances. And these are quite serious additional payments, which can eventually amount to 50% of the salary. Financiers monthly "plus" to the monetary allowance of people in uniform allowances, which can seriously differ from each other in amount. For example, an ordinary soldier will receive an allowance of 100 rubles for qualification, and the commander of an underwater missile carrier, by order of the Ministry of Defense No. 400, will receive 200,000 rubles.

A serviceman in the army receives good housing bonuses, in the case of conscientious service, a contract soldier is given the right to purchase permanent housing using the accumulative mortgage system. If after 7-10 years a situation arises that the state will have to fully pay the rest of the mortgage lending.

Contract military. Salary

Service in the ranks of the Russian army under a contract is a fairly popular phenomenon. Contractors are voluntary members of the Armed Forces who carry out their activities on the basis of an agreement. The main conditions are the age limit and conscientious performance official duties. The first contract is concluded under the conditions if the citizen is at least 18 and not more than 40 years old. It is expected that from 2017, fighters under the age of 30 will be recruited.

In 2016, the amount of monetary allowance for contractors was established according to two laws:

  1. dated 07.11.2011 N 306-FZ dated 06.04.2015 "On the monetary allowance of military personnel and the provision of individual payments to them."
  2. Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 12/05/2011 N 992 (08/06/2015) "On the establishment of salaries for the monetary maintenance of military personnel under the contract."

According to these legislative documents, the salary of the military is made up of the salary for the military position and the salary for the military rank. Surcharges and additional material aid paid annually for good service.

Average size of DD (cash allowance)

  • Ordinary contractor - 30,000 rubles.
  • Sergeant and foreman - 40,000 rubles.
  • lieutenant - 55,000 rubles.

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

  • in the ground forces - from 19,000 rubles;
  • in the navy - from 22,000 rubles;
  • in the air force - from 20,000 rubles;
  • in the navy on submarines - from 40,000 rubles.

In 2016, these data were presented by Tatyana Shevtsova, Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation. Military personnel under the contract also receive worthy benefits:

  • Compensation for rental housing costs if not provided service apartment. The amount of payments depends on the region and averages 50%.
  • When moving to a new place of service, "lifting" is paid for all family members.
  • With a length of service of more than 20 years, a 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 a contract is a prestigious profession, and the number of contract soldiers is increasing every year, so the question always remains: what is the salary of the military? 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 held, contractors receive paid leave every year, taking into account 30 days or more.

Profession - military pilot

The work of a military pilot is very difficult and dangerous. Moreover, as a rule, during military conflicts, pilots are not left in captivity, but destroyed. The profession is considered unhealthy due to emotional overload. Military aviation in Russia is given special attention, including material support and housing. Rapid career advancement and the same early retirement.

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 military pilots is on average 1.7 times higher than that of civilians. Pension payments are accrued in the amount of 55%, but not more than 80%.

Cash allowance for medical staff

There is such a profession as the military among doctors is seriously different from other specialists. A military doctor is one of the most respected professions. This is a person with an exclusively higher medical education. Only an officer from the junior staff can become a doctor in the army, ensigns go to paramedics, privates to orderlies, and sergeants to instructors. 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 for lieutenants is 10,000 rubles per month.

Should we expect a salary increase in 2017?

Will the salaries of the military increase and will indexation be carried out? Federal Law No. 306 of 2011 states the need for annual indexation wages, bonus payments and monetary allowance. In 2017, indexation is expected to occur in February, based on price increases in 2016. But it is too early to talk about wage increases, even despite the current law, especially in the context of economic instability.

Indexing and Crisis

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

Not so long ago, everyone who was called up on a mandatory basis was paid an insignificant amount - 500 rubles, today the figure has increased to 2000. Considering that the soldiers are provided with food and housing, we can say that for a start the amount is quite tolerable. An increase in monetary allowance can only be carried out during indexation.

The indexation for employees in the Armed Forces is scheduled for 2017 due to the increased inflation rate. Today, the average military salary is 30,000 rubles, but the government believes that it should rise to at least 50,000 rubles. In 2016, indexation was also expected, but was never carried out.

military pension

Soldiers tend to retire early. Already at the age of 40, you can count on pension payments, but on the condition that the military continues to serve further. To date, a bill has already been prepared to increase payments to pensioners 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% for employees who are on vacation.

Summing up the summary

The annual increase in military salaries and the improvement of conditions are due to the fact that Russia has recently needed to strengthen its combat positions. And, as you know, for a long time, service in the ranks of the Russian army was unpromising and completely unprestigious. In order to attract people, monthly salaries are also being increased and issues of improving living 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 civilian incomes. Although it is quite difficult to earn money on your own housing. For many conscripts living in the outback, the prospects for working in the Russian Air Force are very tempting, given the current crisis and complete unemployment in the countryside. High patriotic feelings are, of course, good, but whether or not to serve under a contract, everyone decides for himself.

Work, albeit monetary, but hard, harmful, sometimes thankless 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 a secure future.

The monetary allowance calculator for military personnel allows you to independently calculate the cash allowance in accordance with the 2012 reform that has entered into force.

In 2010, a draft of a new law was posted on the website of the Ministry of Defense, and in 2011 it was adopted. The long-awaited Law "On monetary allowance and other payments to servicemen of the RF Armed Forces" came into force in January 2012.

But the reform did not happen overnight. Two stages of its implementation are planned:

  1. Since 01/01/12, it has affected all servicemen of the Armed Forces. forces and internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
  2. Since 01/01/13, it has extended to the military personnel of all other departments (Ministry of Emergency Situations, FSO, FSB, military prosecutor's office, SVR, Investigative Committee of the Investigative Committee)

In short, the reform was designed to increase the income of servicemen by 2.5-3 times, and the pension by 1.5-1.7 times. The increase in allowance occurs due to an increase in the very structure of accrual of money. Now the amount of income is influenced by such factors as:

  • Military position held
  • Awarded military rank
  • Total duration military service
  • Tasks in progress
  • Conditions and procedure for military service

Before the start of the reform, there were numerous cash bonuses for all the factors listed above, but now they have become part of the monetary allowance itself. Therefore, the structure itself has become more transparent and salaries have become "tied" to the official inflation rate in the country.

Thanks to the adopted law, the maximum allowance for special conditions of military service is 100% of the salary. The maximum amount of the allowance for performing tasks in peacetime that are associated with a risk to life and health is also 100% of the salary.

If a soldier dies in the line of duty, his family receives an allowance in the amount of 3 million rubles. For example, in 2011 the allowance was 746 thousand rubles.

As for military pensioners, an increase in pensions is also provided for them. The average pension in 2012 increased to 17 thousand rubles. This amount will increase by about 4% per year, depending on the indexation due to inflation. The increase in pensions is not divided into stages, all power structures receive a higher pension from January 1, 2012.

Monetary allowance of conscripts

Most recently (until 2012), ordinary conscripts received approximately 400-500 rubles a month. On January 21, 2012, the Law on the experiment on the unification of the monetary allowance of conscripts for the period 2012-2013 was signed. Now all conscripts receive 2,000 rubles a month.

In addition, conscripts are made cash payments for travel by public transport.

Monetary allowance of contractors

Those military personnel who serve under the contract receive allowances consisting of:

  • Military salary
  • Salary by military rank

Both of these indicators in total are now called the salary of the monetary content, to which monthly or other payments may be added. Starting from 2012, military salaries range from 10,000 to 45,000 rubles. For example, the salary of an officer in the directorate of a motorized rifle (tank) corps is 22,500 rubles, and the salary of a foreman is 18,000 rubles. Salaries by rank have also increased, they range from 5 thousand to 30 thousand rubles. So, the ensign will receive 8 thousand rubles for the rank, and the colonel general 25 thousand rubles.

Taxes deducted from military personnel allowance

Despite the increase in the allowance of military personnel, their income tax remains at the same level. Like all other citizens of Russia, the military pay income tax in the amount of 13% of the allowance.

Along with all citizens, military personnel can claim tax deductions. We list the most common cases:

  • If the taxpayer took part in the liquidation of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident, then a deduction of 3,000 rudders per month is available to him
  • Disabled military personnel of groups 1,2,3 can also apply for a deduction in the amount of 3,000 rubles per month
  • Tax deduction provided to parents of children under 24 years of age. For the first and second child, the amount is 1,400 rubles, for the third and subsequent, as well as for disabled children - 3,000 rubles.
  • tax deduction for treatment
  • tax deduction for education
  • Tax deduction for the purchase of housing - up to 260 thousand rubles.

Key Aspects

Cash allowance is provided for special kind wages. Since when forming such a payment, the accountant takes into account several salaries.

So, the size of the amount is affected by what salary a person has in accordance with the position and what is assigned to him by rank. As a result, these two indicators add up and get a standard wage.

But when calculating, it should be borne in mind that all kinds of allowances are added to such figures for various merits and the number of years of experience.

Important Concepts

In this area central concept the term soldier is a person who is in the state military service.

Cash allowance This is the salary of a military man, which consists of several indicators
Seniority This is an indicator of the length of service of a serviceman, which is continuous and meets the established standards for the threshold of years worked. Therefore, for this type of pension, benefits and allowances are provided.
Salary This is the amount of wages for each month. Another notation for this concept is tariff rate. This is the same salary according to the salary, which is accrued in accordance with the position of the employee. But there is such a variety of this salary as payment for military rank
Online calculator This is an Internet service that allows you to automatically calculate military payrolls. There are both standardized systems and specially designed for the military.

What are these payments

Monetary allowance is the remuneration of a serviceman in the Russian Federation. The manual itself contains various components.

So, the main ones will be:

  • salary for the position held;
  • salary in accordance with the military rank.
For years of service They can range from 10 to 40 percent
By qualification From 5 to 30%

Legislative regulation

If you have questions in the field, you should refer to various regulatory and legal standards.

The main document in this regard is the Federal Law.

Retirement benefits for the military are regulated in accordance with the provisions federal law No. 166-FZ “On State Pension Provision in the Russian Federation”. It refers to the methods of calculating the pension and the conditions for its establishment.

Features of the calculation

When making any calculations, you should rely only on accurate and reliable numbers. Since any inaccuracy will lead to the incorrectness of the resulting value.

Plus, it should be understood that among the components of the calculations there are many different provisions. Therefore, all of them should be taken into account.

So, calculations may vary depending on the working conditions of the military, the category of employees to which he belongs.


It is also necessary to take into account the fact that special formulas are used for calculations. According to them, you can get the most reliable values ​​\u200b\u200bwith respect to the allowances for the military.

To simplify the procedure, you can use special calculators on the Internet. They allow you to quickly and only by substituting the coefficient in the fields, find out the exact indicator of contentment.

Components of payment

Cash allowance has several components. They cannot be ignored when making calculations. Therefore, one should understand their nature and know how to apply them.

These two components may be followed by supplements and other benefit payments:

Benefit Title Peculiarities Salary percentage, %
Seniority 2 to 5 years
5 to 10 years
10 to 15 years old
15 to 25 years old
20 to 25 years old
from 30 years old
10

20
25
30
40
By class third
second
the first
5
10
20
Working with state secrets 65
Work specifics determined under the supervision of the state 100

This is a standard list used in most military units of the Russian Federation. Based on these indicators, additional payments are assigned.

The standard incentive is a bonus in the form of a bonus. It can be appointed no more than three times a year. And its size is 100 percentage points from the salary of a soldier.

Usually, such payments are made together with vacation, daily allowance, and lifting allowances. This allows you to increase their volume.

The order of charges for different categories

It should be understood that in Russia, payments for different military personnel will be radically different.

Here are the main indicators for calculating benefits:

  • military experience;
  • employee category;
  • having a title.

That is why before calculations it is worth setting all these indicators and, based on them, choosing a tariff scale.

Under the contract

When concluding, it should be understood that the calculation formula will be based on the legislation that was adopted back in 2011.

In accordance with this document, it was established that those citizens who have not previously undergone military training will receive minimum rates on wages.

So, for the military of different ranks, the salaries will be as follows:

But it is worth noting that over time, such employees begin to receive additional payments for various achievements in the service, etc.

By call

In the case of military service, payments are also provided. There are some features to consider here.

So, the composition of the salary for urgent military personnel includes:

  • salary amount;
  • additional amounts by qualification, level of training.

There may also be surcharges for knowledge of foreign languages, difficult conditions services. The percentages for these allowances are standard and their size is set by the leadership of the military unit or assigned by the general.

After an employee undergoes urgent training, he can count on his full cash payments.

And as for the monetary allowance itself, it is paid twice.

Upon dismissal

Provides for the payment of several monetary allowances to him. Usually these are two salaries of an employee - for those who have spent up to 20 years in the service. But all the exact indicators also depend on how many years the military spent in the service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Those military who have served in the ranks of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for more than 20 years can receive significantly larger payments. So, such amounts sometimes reach up to seven salaries of a soldier.

Here it is worth considering such an indicator as the rank of the military. The higher it is in rank, the higher the salary of the employee will be.

As a result, when the calculation of the payment upon dismissal begins, a military man with a higher rank with fewer years of service will have a higher allowance than those who have not improved their qualifications.

A bonus in the amount of three months' salary may also be paid. But the amount of this amount depends directly on the merits that the employee has made.

What documents are needed

When calculating the allowance, you do not need to submit any documents. The accounting department of the military unit independently deals with the processing of wages.

And it's based on:

  • protocol of hours worked;
  • tariff scale;
  • or making other payments.

Documents will be required only in case of dismissal from the Ministry of Internal Affairs:

  • passport document;
  • employment history;
  • certificate of the amount of payments;
  • achievement awards.

These papers will be enough for the standard procedure for obtaining a pension benefit for service in the relevant military department.

Is it possible to calculate the monetary allowance of a soldier online

Yes, this procedure is quite easy to carry out. It is enough to find out such indicators of wages as:

  • salaries;
  • availability and amount of additional payments.

You can also use the tariff plan to have a general idea of ​​the amount of payments. Next, you need to find an electronic calculator.

They usually look like this:

For calculations, it is important to use only up-to-date information and check calculations for errors. Plus, it is worth introducing all additional payments.

Despite the fact that there may be quite a lot of them. After all, the final result of the calculations depends on this.

Payment procedure

Military personnel receive their wages under the standard payment method. So, all accruals are a monthly payment.

You can get them in the middle of the month. In this case, the payment, for example, for January, will be made in February. Thus, accrual is carried out for actually worked days.

But it should be borne in mind that accrual is not made in December. The allowance for this month is received together with another month - it turns out the payment of two wages on the same day.

Usually, bank accounts attached to cards are used for payments. But sometimes there may be cash payment at the place of work of the employee. There are also deductions for payments.

Last changes

It should be noted that recently there have been quite negative changes in the provision of monetary allowances to the military.

Thus, by a government decree, the calculation of indexation for such payments for the military was changed.

This is due to the fact that economic situation countries does not allow to fully modernize these benefits. Therefore, it was decided to freeze such options.

What to pay special attention to

When calculating the allowance, the most important thing will be the constant verification of the data. Since the accuracy of all operations performed will depend on them.

If you do not take into account these factors, the result will be a rather controversial figure. Plus, a soldier should know if his salary is subject to the inclusion of additional payments.

Since there are also many exceptions and features here. Without taking them into account, one cannot count on the accuracy of wage indicators.

The online calculator of DD for military personnel allows you to calculate the amount of monthly allowance for persons undergoing military service under a contract in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. A user-friendly interface, high speed and accounting for allowances, bonuses and incentive coefficients provide an accurate calculation of the payout amount. The military calculator provides for indexation of salaries for 2018, announced by the Department of Defense for the period until 2021.

The increase in army salaries in 2018 was the first time in five years. To this end, budget allocations have been increased by 18 billion rubles. Considerable, at first glance, the amount is distributed among the active military and retirees. At the same time, in the first year of the implementation of the decision, the payroll calculator for military personnel in 2018 will not show a significant increase. Its growth will be about four percent. Until 2021, indexation will be carried out three times, so by the time the program is completed, the salary calculator will show an increase in payments within twelve percent for privates and commanders.

How the military salary calculator works

Cash allowance consists of several items of payments. Basic - monthly salary in accordance with:

  • military rank;
  • position held.

The second part, which is almost equal in size to the first, is stimulating, designed to increase the interest of the military in the performance of official duties. These include payments for:

  • qualification category (class);
  • special conditions of service;
  • performance of tasks associated in peacetime with a risk to life;
  • work with information constituting state secrets.

As the length of service increases online, the calculation of the monetary allowance of a soldier includes a seniority allowance. Every five years it increases by five percent, and begins to be calculated from the second year. Already in the second to fifth year it is 10%, in the fifth - tenth - 15%. The amount for seniority after 25 years of service is 40% of the official salary.

Calculate monetary allowance, taking into account incentives

Indexation of the salary of an officer and an ordinary soldier will not affect the system of additional payments. The Ministry of Defense promises to keep revenue-generating appropriations unchanged until 2021. The target additional payments for the class remain, which increase by 10% from the third to the master. As well as monthly in the amount of 100% of the initial salary.

These include fees for:

  • special conditions of service;
  • performance of tasks associated with a risk to life;
  • special achievements in service.

Work outside the Russian Federation, in the conditions of the Far North, areas equated to it, territories with unfavorable climatic and environmental conditions, is paid in accordance with the coefficients and percentage allowances, which are “based on” the total salary with the current allowances, which is taken into account by the serviceman’s calculator on our site.

The total number of allowances provided for stimulating interest in military service exceeds a dozen and a half. Some are paid monthly, others - periodically, once a year. They form an additional material package that officers and soldiers receive for public holidays and vacations. We are talking about annual material assistance, the amount of which is not legally defined, but cannot be less than a monthly salary. And bonuses for conscientious performance of duties - no more than three salaries, taking into account their volume in the current year. The salary calculator for military personnel in 2018 does not take into account these payments, since their size is calculated individually.

The military serve in most cases in those positions that are provided staffing units, military departments and organizations. There are cases when the military is seconded to serve in state organization. In this situation, the position will not be military, but civil.

A military man can only be involved in one military position. Each such position has a corresponding military rank. Consider the tariff scale of military personnel in the article.

Note that it is the president of the country who claims single register army positions that can be filled by senior officers.

The registers of all other positions in the military sphere are approved by the heads of those bodies of federal executive power that involve military service. The procedure for approval is determined by the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation. Such registries indicate military positions that can be filled by female soldiers or civilians. Substitution on a competitive basis is also possible.

Position appointments

Only a presidential decree can regulate appointments to those positions that are provided for by the staff list for senior officers. The head of the federal executive body has the right to appoint military personnel with the ranks of captain of the first rank and colonel to the following positions:


The tariff scale for military personnel is approved by the President.

Terms of appointment

Military personnel have the right to appoint and dismiss military personnel under their command. There are some conditions for appointment to a military post:


Let's find out what else the tariff scale of military personnel implies.

The highest military position

A military position is considered the highest, for which the staff list provides for a military rank higher than in the previous position. If the military ranks are equal according to the staffing table, then the soldier is entitled to an increase in salary depending on the position he occupies. We will consider the salaries of the monetary maintenance of military personnel further.

The highest military positions are appointed in the following cases:

  1. For those who serve under a contract, their consent is required, for everyone else - in order of career growth.
  2. On a competitive basis, and this applies to those who serve under the contract.

In some cases, the appointment to the highest military position occurs on the basis of the results of the certification commission of the military unit where the serviceman is serving. This happens when a soldier has shown outstanding professional skills or organizational skills during military service, or has been previously assigned to a lower position that does not correspond to the army rank.

Equal military post

An equal position is called a position for which the staffing table provides for a military rank equivalent to the previous position with the corresponding monthly salary (for example, senior warrant officer). Appointment to an equivalent position occurs for the following reasons:

  • in the event of a business need;
  • at various staff organizational events;
  • if service in a new position is more appropriate;
  • at the personal request of a contract serviceman due to family circumstances;
  • due to deterioration in health or injury incompatible with the position held;
  • on a competitive basis (for contract employees).

It should be noted that the salary of military personnel in Russia today is quite decent.

Lowest army post

A position is considered to be the lowest, for which the staff list provides for a rank lower than that held in the previous position or a lower salary. Appointment to a lower military position occurs in the following cases:

  • when it is not possible to appoint a serviceman to a higher or equivalent position in the course of regular organizational events;
  • due to family circumstances;
  • due to the state of health of a person in military service;
  • by personal appeal (for military personnel serving under a contract);
  • when a disciplinary sanction is applied to a soldier.

How to return the position?

A soldier who has been demoted due to a disciplinary sanction can regain his highest position only after the punishment is annulled.
If a soldier is under arrest, it is not possible to get a higher position. As a rule, the restriction of military service as a result of a committed crime leads to a transfer to another unit. This decision is made by the court that heard the case. The tariff scale for contract servicemen is somewhat different.

military allowances

Being a military man in our country is certainly prestigious. This nuance became especially noticeable with the increase in salaries for military personnel, which happened a couple of years ago. The profession is becoming increasingly respected by citizens and the state as a whole. More and more people come to military affairs and their number is steadily growing.

In order for this process not to slow down, and even more so not to stop, the state needs decent social and material support for the military sphere. The military, serving under the contract, receive not but the so-called monetary allowance. Obtaining the latter is regulated by federal law.

What does it consist of?

The cash allowance consists of three parts:

  1. Fixed military salary, depending on the position held and military rank.
  2. Bonus received every month as a reward for quality service. It is about 25 percent of the fixed salary.
  3. Salary supplements for services to the fatherland and for service in dangerous conditions. They can be up to 40 percent of the basic salary.

salaries for this moment determined by a law passed in 2011. Thus, minimum salaries were established for citizens who had not previously served in the army and amounted to 17 thousand rubles for privates and 20 thousand rubles for previously trained (sergeants). With an increase in rank, the salary also increases, the maximum of which is 50 thousand rubles. Many people say that the unit commander gets pretty good pay.

How is the rate schedule set up?

The tariff scale of the military is compiled on the basis of following factors: length of service, annual financial assistance, allowance for service in "hot spots", as well as for difficult conditions associated with the climate (if we are talking about service in the Far North).

Calculation of monetary allowance is made using a special calculator. Moreover, the calculator is in the public domain. Anyone can calculate their future monetary allowance, it is enough just to know the salary for the military position of a serviceman (the table is presented).

Indexation of military pay

The state indexes the military monetary allowance annually. At least that's how it should have been. However, due to economic crisis in the country in 2016 indexation was not carried out. Funds for the military are allocated exclusively from state budget and cannot be increased at the expense of the regions.

For 2017, indexation was predicted to be at least at the level of official inflation. However, these intentions did not come true and military salaries were not indexed. We can only hope that in the future the annual indexation will be resumed. The President has repeatedly spoken about the interest of the state in a strong and powerful army, in a qualified military personnel. Therefore, most likely, the allowance of the military will continue to grow, as well as the possibility of obtaining higher qualifications.

Social benefits

However, the allowance of the military is not limited only in cash. They are also provided with social benefits that are closed to other categories of citizens. The state provides the military with food, clothing and housing. The retirement age for military personnel is much lower than for everyone else. There are other perks as well:

  • military mortgages provided to servicemen's families at very low interest rates;
  • free treatment in military medical hospitals;
  • compensation for travel by rail during the holidays;
  • contracted employees receive life insurance for the entire period of service. The family will receive compensation.

Thus, the military profession is not only prestigious, but also stable, which is important today in our country. So, we examined the tariff scale of military personnel in as much detail as possible. We wish you success in the military field!
