The expert spoke about the average size of a funded pension after indexation

The average size of a funded pension after the August indexation will be approximately 1.8–1.9 thousand rubles per month. Viktor Lyashok, a leading researcher at the RANEPA Institute for Social Analysis and Forecasting, told about this on May 25.

"After the indexation, the average funded pension will grow to 1.8–1.9 thousand rubles," the expert told RIA Novosti.

According to Lyashok, the final amount of the pension depends on the contributions of employers, which were formed at the expense of official insurance contributions in the period from 2002 to 2013. New contributions to the funded pension have been frozen since 2014.

According to the expert, men have the opportunity to access savings from the age of 60, and women from the age of 55. If the total amount on the account in the current year is less than or equal to 439,776 rubles, it will be given in a lump sum, and if exceeded, the Russian will be assigned a lifetime monthly payment.

Account over time: the pension of Russians would exceed 30 thousand without the freezing of savings

Why is the average payout lower now and what could change the situation?

State Duma deputy Alexei Govyrin announced on May 24 that starting in June 2026, pension payments will be increased in Russia for several categories of citizens, including those who turned 80 in May or were diagnosed with the first disability group.
