Salaries in Russia

Last year's quarantine brought an increase in the segment of remote work and freelancing. In the areas of work associated with performing duties on a remote basis, salaries have increased manifold. For example, accountants - by 269%, content managers - by 608%, and business coaches - by 708%.

For comparison, the salary of astronauts has increased by only 50%. Telecommuting went to people whose professions are related to project cooperation, as well as line personnel of various companies: consultants, assistants, managers. The growth of wages in these areas averaged 12%, to the level of 35 thousand rubles.

The growth of the minimum wage barely managed to reach the 5% level. And this is also due to economic factors, the general crisis and the introduction of quarantines.

Comparison of the size of the minimum and average wages

For comparison, the average nominally accrued salary and the minimum salary in Moscow and the Moscow region are taken. Moreover, the size of the maximum will be significantly higher than the average. Both calculation boundaries, average and minimum, are real figures received by Muscovites for work performed.

According to the press service of the Moscow Department of Finance, the average salary in Moscow at the end of 2020 exceeded 95 thousand rubles. Every year the average nominal wage increases by 6-7%. An increase of 14% was recorded in the provision of social services and in the health sector.

The increase in wages by 6-9% is planned in the socio-economic development of the city. Average salary figures are officially registered by Mosstat. The average salary in the Moscow region is at the level of 55 thousand rubles.

The minimum wage in Russia in 2022 will grow by 4.7%, in 2023 - by 5.8%. The estimated growth figures were announced by the Ministry of Finance. The economic situation in the country will show how they coincide with reality. The agreement was signed by three stakeholders: trade unions, government and employers.

According to the Ministry of Finance, the economy needs supporting measures. And the growth of the economy, in turn, has a significant impact on the growth of wages. The minimum wage should grow at a faster rate than the cost of living. So, according to officials, you can reduce poverty.

The size of the minimum wage in 2021 was 12,792 rubles. Starting this year, the minimum wage is calculated from the average salary in the country. The living wage in the Russian Federation amounted to 11 653 rubles. It turns out that the minimum wage exceeded the PM for the first time.

The size of the minimum wage in the Moscow region amounted to 15 thousand rubles. The tripartite agreement was signed in 2019 and applies to employees of legal entities and individuals, with the exception of employees of organizations funded from the federal budget. According to the latest news, in 2022 the figure will increase by 4.7%.

For Moscow, the minimum wage is equal to the subsistence minimum for the able-bodied population and amounts to 20,589 rubles. The agreement was signed by three parties: the government, trade unions and employers' associations.

This is the highest value of the minimum wage in the Russian Federation. The calculation of most regions is based on the figure of 12 792 rubles.

What does the "minimum wage" affect?

The size of the minimum wage is established by law, is used to regulate the size of workers' wages and is the basis for calculations:

• social payments and benefits;
• maternity leave;
• sick leave payments;
• parental leave for a child up to 1, 5 years old;
• insurance premiums;
• unemployment benefits;
• government support measures;
• different types of taxes and fines.

The salary received by the employees of the enterprises cannot be less than the minimum. The link to the living wage was canceled, and this year it is less than the minimum wage. Therefore, employees of enterprises of various forms of ownership cannot receive less than 12,792 rubles. subject to the full working out of the set rate.

According to the requirements of the Labor Code, entrepreneurs and managers of enterprises must pay for hired labor at least the minimum wage. The indexation of wages is established by law.

The subjects of the federation have the right to establish a wage minimum higher than the general federal one. Then a tripartite agreement is signed. Not all regions use this right, but the minimum established at the regional level is becoming mandatory.

Salary by Russian regions

In the Department of Labor and Employment of the Oryol Region, officials wonder why there are no people willing to work for 15 thousand rubles. It is easier for the able-bodied population to go to work in Moscow, where nonresidents can find work for 50 thousand. This is just one example.

The minimum wage, even 1.5 minimum wages, does not cover the basic needs of a person. Payroll is based on the "minimum wage". As a result, the population tends to go to big cities and regions where salaries are higher.

The five leaders in terms of salary included:

• Chukotka - 106 thousand rubles;
• Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District - 100 thousand rubles;
• Moscow - 95 thousand rubles;
• Magadan region - 93 thousand rubles
• Sakhalin Region - 80 thousand rubles.

The lowest salaries in the regions (about 27 thousand rubles):

• Karachay-Cherkessia;
• Dagestan;
• Ivanovo region;
• Ingushetia;
• Chechnya.

Most Russians would like to earn 45-50 thousand rubles a month. And if the government raised the minimum wage to this level, then the issue of poverty would be resolved. Shadow employment helps the population of poor regions survive. "Gray" salaries allow you to make ends meet.
