Calculations of the average salary are determined by legislative acts for each country. Settlement procedure approved international organization Labor (ILO) and is a basic indicator for assessing the well-being of the population.

Legislation on wages

Legislation Russian Federation it is envisaged to use the parameters of the average wage for various operations related to:

  • with payroll;
  • social payments;
  • business trips, etc.

SRW for statistical national purposes is calculated as the arithmetic average of the salaries of a certain group of workers and is the basis for calculating the average national income.

The average salary does not reflect real income average worker all levels of income are taken into account.

SRW is determined by the relevant articles of the Labor Code, the Family Code and other legislative acts. For each category there is the legislative framework, which determines the method of applying the average wage parameter. In addition, the average salary of an individual worker for certain period time.

accrual

The accrual of average wages is regulated by Article 139 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, federal law RF No. 90, Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 922.

In accordance with the norms described in legislative acts, one should:

  • Calculate the total amount of the employee's salary for the 12 or 24 months preceding the moment of accrual. The total amount includes actual amounts earned and material remuneration, regulated by the internal regulations of the enterprise. Financial remuneration must be permanent payments.
  • Not taken into account for calculations. social payments and disposable. In addition, the amount does not include sick leave payments and any types of compensation.
  • The amount received is divided by the number of months worked and the number of working days in a year, which corresponds to 12 or 24 and 29.4.
  • To calculate benefits, the result is multiplied by the number of days for which the payment is made. Important: If the employee's length of service does not exceed 6 months, then the calculation is made based on the minimum wage ( minimum size wages). For employees who work at the enterprise from 6 to 24 months, the average salary is calculated based on the number of days actually worked (how many working days according to the time sheet), but the amount of earnings cannot be lower than the minimum wage.

In line with Labor Code In the Russian Federation, there are several types of SRWP calculation. The law reflects the specifics of accruals when accounting for compensation for unused planned leave, excludes accounting for gifts, and fully describes all types of payments that are taken into account.

Raise

Raising the level of the average salary in the Russian Federation is a top priority for the entire state apparatus. With the observed long-term trend of a decrease in the number of qualified personnel and the steady aging of the population, for 2020 the Government predicts to set this figure at the level of 75,000 rubles across the country without taking into account categories.

In order to boost the economy and stimulate wage growth as part of improving the general welfare of citizens, it is planned to increase the level of SRW by the year 25 to 120,000 rubles.

The project is based on the innovative development of the country, and salary increases will be observed, under favorable conditions in all sectors economic activity.

Salary increases for officials, judges and public sector employees are made periodically on the basis of federal laws published specifically for the implementation of such events. But Article 134 of the Labor Code provides for an increase in wages at all, without exception, enterprises due to rising prices for services and goods.

Indexing

The indexation of the RFP is regulated by Art. 134 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, which states that the bodies of state power and local self-government, when calculating such payments, are guided by regulations in labor legislation.

Other enterprises of all forms of ownership adopt internal (local) regulations and conclude a collective agreement (agreement) describing this procedure.

It should be understood that teachers in private schools do not belong to the category of public servants and receive salary indexation in accordance with the regulations established by the enterprise. Internal regulations for establishing the level of compensation should not contradict Article 372 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

pension and alimony

Most important for most workers is the calculation of the average wage at retirement. Based on the size of this parameter, a part of the pension is calculated for the period of work until 2002, which takes into account the salary for any 60 months of continuous work. The state has established conversion factors for average wages for the period from 1960 to 1990, from 1991 to 1997, from 1998 to 2001.

The higher the average salary for the above periods, the higher the actual pension that will be accrued at the moment.

To calculate the pension by years, the average salary for the periods indicated above and the average salary for the period from 2002 to the present moment are calculated, and the final amount is determined by applying the methodology.

When resolving disputes over the repayment of debts or the accrual of alimony, they are guided by the Family Code of the Russian Federation, Article 113, Federal Law No. 223, and also Article 102 of the Federal Law No. 229. regulatory framework it is indicated that if the alimony payer, at the time of collection, does not work or has not worked before, then the average salary is used in the calculations, depending on the region of residence of the defendant.

Average salary in Russia in 2020

SRWP in the Russian Federation in current year, as in previous periods, is calculated depending on the branch of economic activity, professional orientation of employees and regional characteristics.

This approach reflects the most complete picture of the development of the economy and allows government organizations to make decisions aimed at improving the welfare of the country's population. In addition, these indicators are monitored by world organizations and may show the prospects for the development of countries or the maturation crisis situations both locally and globally.

The average salary is officially determined by the statistical authorities on the basis of information provided by enterprises and organizations.

In addition, there is the possibility of alternative calculations based on published vacancies and the opinions of employees of the relevant categories. Such indicators usually vary, as mentioned above, and are not intended to reflect the real level of income of the average worker.

The average salary in the Russian Federation is currently set at 32,000 rubles. For certain categories it differs to varying degrees and is due to various factors. In addition, there is average height in the amount of up to 11% per year and trends in data during the calendar year.

By industry

One of the indicators reflecting the growth of sectors of the economy is the dynamics of changes in the average salary on an annualized basis by individual industries economic activity. Based on a 10% increase in SRW by industry over the past years, we can predict a similar increase in 2020.

Visually, this trend can be analyzed by considering graphic materials.

By profession

The trend of changes in wages by profession in 2020 will provide for a sharp change in the course national currency in relation to foreign money. First of all, this concerns the extractive industries, the IT industry and the financial sector, in which wages linked to foreign currencies.

At the same time, there will be a significant difference in relation to professions that are not related to foreign economic activity.

At the moment (before the publication of the semi-annual report of official statistics), one can navigate in terms of average salaries of popular specialties, using the publications of vacancies on information resources.

By region

SRW by regions of the Russian Federation calculated by the State Statistics Service in 2020. The regional average salary indicates the average earnings of the entire working population, taking into account the lowest and highest salaries and is calculated as an arithmetic mean.

Comparative analysis

The indicator of the level of average wages makes it possible to analyze the well-being of the population in different countries world and predict the development of economies, establishing links in various directions, focusing on the sale and purchase of goods and services.

Average salaries in some countries of the world are presented below (USD).

European level

In Europe, the level of the average salary significantly exceeds all CIS countries, but given the amount of insurance payments and the high cost of utilities, it is not possible to give an accurate assessment of the level of well-being of the population by analyzing only this parameter.

The UN, in its “poverty” report, puts an estimate based on the maximum number of statistical data, such as prices, consumption levels, market accessibility for an investor, etc. elements to approximate comparative assessment to the real state of affairs.

But from the diagram we can conclude that the crisis affects the state of affairs with salaries. An example is Greece, which has been experiencing a severe economic downturn for several years now. The level of SRW in this country is almost 2.5 times lower than in Germany and France. Not significant salaries and the new members of the European Union.

In European countries, the practice of hourly wages for legislative level, and average salaries are calculated based on this indicator.

The average hourly wage in the EU is 21 Euros, and the top three members of the European Community are made up of:

  • Belgium (39 Euro per hour),
  • France (34.2 Euro per hour),
  • Luxembourg (33.7 Euro per hour).

Most low salaries in Bulgaria (3.5 Euro per hour), Romania (4.2 Euro per hour), the Baltic countries (5.5) and Poland (7.1).

By profession, the level of salaries has a similar ratio across countries. Based on the level of salaries of popular professions in Germany, one can understand the amount of income of similar workers in other EU countries.

The average salaries by specialty were distributed as follows:

  • the field of IT technologies - 52,000 - 58,000 euros per year;
  • technical engineering staff - 50,000 - 55,000 euros per year;
  • accounting and financial management– 51,000 – 59,500 euros per year;
  • medical industry - 53,000 - 65,000 euros per year.

USA

On the North American continent, as can be seen from the diagram, the average level of wages practically does not differ from the leading European powers, but does not exceed it either.

RIA Rating - 7 Dec. The severity of the problem of social stratification in Russia is quite noticeable. In general, many states face such a problem, and Russia is no exception. In many ways social stratification is a consequence of the difference in the level of incomes of the population, which is often determined by the differentiation of wages. The difference in the level of labor income is especially pronounced in the regional context. To determine these differences, RIA Rating experts, based on Rosstat data, conducted a study on the level and distribution of wages in the regions of Russia and compiled a rating. The share of employees earning more than 100 thousand rubles per month (highly paid employees) was used as the main ranking indicator in the ranking. In addition, such indicators as the share of low-paid workers (less than 10 thousand rubles per month), median salary and Gini coefficient were analyzed and presented in the rating.

High salaries should be sought in the north and in Moscow

In Russia as a whole, only 4.1% of workers can boast of a salary (for deduction of personal income tax) more than 100 thousand rubles per hand per month. In almost any situation, such earnings allow us to speak of at least an average income for an employee, and often even a relatively high one, although here, too, high differentiation is noticeable. In the northern, remote regions and Moscow, many goods and services are noticeably more expensive, but even with increased prices, such a salary is decent by Russian standards.

Only 17 regions are characterized by the share of highly paid workers at a level above the average, and the median value of this indicator for the regions of Russia is 1.5%.

The leaders in terms of the share of high wages were the northern and Far Eastern regions, as well as Moscow. In the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (ranking leader), almost 24% of employees earn more than 100 thousand rubles a month, while the share of low-paid vacancies is only 0.6%. The second line was taken by Chukotsky autonomous region, where 21% of employees receive more than 100 thousand per month. Moscow ranks third in terms of the share of high wages - 17%. In six more regions, this share exceeds 10%: Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Magadan Oblast, Sakhalin Oblast, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - Yugra, Kamchatka Krai and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), and Murmansk Oblast closes the top ten with a score of 8.1%.

Almost all leading regions in terms of the share of highly paid workers are remote regions (northern or far eastern), as well as the capital. Thus, despite all the economic and social transformations of recent decades, as in Soviet period, the northern regions are still competitive in the labor market, even despite the loss of a number of Soviet benefits and preferences. The main business here is the extraction of all kinds of natural resources. It allows not only to receive high profits for owners, but also to pay relatively high wages to hired workers.

In many ways, high salaries are compensatory, since the price level in the leading regions is quite high. However, not only the high cost of current consumption is compensated, but also the loss in comfort and quality of life due to severe weather conditions and remoteness from other regions. High salaries in Moscow have a different explanation. Large offices of almost all major Russian and foreign corporations are located in the capital, Moscow is the financial center of Russia, in addition, federal government bodies are located here, companies related to areas with high labor productivity (IT, Internet business and others) are widely represented. All this determines that the majority of top managers and the most highly paid employees work in the capital. At the same time, Moscow, unlike many other leading regions in terms of wages, is characterized by a relatively high share (1.5%) of workers with low wages (less than 10 thousand rubles per month) for the top five regions. As a result, the Moscow labor market is similar to examples of "American" capitalism - there are quite a lot of rich people here, but there are also a lot of modestly earning residents. That is why Moscow is the leader in terms of the Gini coefficient (0.38), which indicates the maximum wage stratification among Russian regions.

At first glance, the wide representation of regions from central Russia among the constituent entities of the Russian Federation with a minimum share of highly paid workers. In addition to the national republics, which historically have been characterized by high unemployment and low wages, the regions with a minimum share of "rich" workers include: Pskov Oblast, Oryol Oblast, Bryansk Oblast, Tambov Oblast, Ivanovo Oblast, and Kirov Oblast. In general, in 12 regions, including the six above, less than 0.7% of employees can boast of earning more than 100 thousand rubles a month. Lack of many vacancies high salary in the regions of central Russia, most likely due to their relative proximity to Moscow. In this case, due to the relatively good transport accessibility, business can be managed from the capital, thus, the central offices are located in Moscow, where the management is more comfortable to live, and the bulk of workers, with low salaries, are concentrated in these regions. In addition, many enterprising people who could become a businessman or a major leader have more opportunities to move to Moscow, which somewhat bleeds the nearest regions. At the same time, in the regions directly bordering the Moscow region (Kaluga region, Tula region, Yaroslavl region, Tver region, Smolensk region and Vladimir region), there is already a process of relatively rapid formation of high-performance business focused on the Moscow market, which leads to an increase in the number of highly paid workers , and therefore leads to a higher position of these regions in the ranking.

In 9 regions, more than a quarter of employees receive less than 10 thousand rubles a month

In 9 regions of the country (8 national republics and the Altai Territory), the proportion of people who receive less than 10 thousand rubles a month exceeds 25%. The leader in terms of the share of low-paid workers was Dagestan - 35%, and the second result was in the Karachay-Cherkess Republic (30.5%).

In Russia as a whole, more than 11% of employees earn less than 10,000 rubles a month. This is significant social problem. As the results of the study showed, in 22 regions more than 20% of employees receive less than 10 thousand rubles a month.

At the same time, in a number of regions, mainly in the Far East and the North, there are almost no people who earn less than 10,000 rubles a month. This is largely due to the fact that food prices and public utilities in the northern and far eastern regions are very high, and the possibilities for conducting subsidiary farm severely limited climatic conditions. This imposes certain obligations on employers, since in the case of very low wages, workers can simply starve to death. Thus, the minimum prevailing salaries take into account the regional specifics of pricing.

The stratification of wages in the regions of Russia is moderate, with the exception of a few regions

RIA Rating experts used the widely used Gini coefficient as an indicator of interregional wage differences. Changing in the range from 0 to 1, the Gini coefficient acts as a measure of how unevenly income is distributed among different groups of the population, or in other words, how large the stratification of society is by income (in our case, by wages). So, if all citizens in the region receive the same salary, then the Gini coefficient will be equal to zero, and as wage inequality increases, the coefficient will tend to 1.

The study yielded a number of rather interesting results. The undisputed leader in Russia in terms of the minimum value of the Gini coefficient is the Belgorod region. The Gini coefficient in this region is only 0.27, which indicates a high degree of wage equality in the region. For comparison, the Republic of Belarus and many the developed countries Europe. The low Gini coefficient characterizes the Belgorod region with positive side, as it is observed against the background of relatively rapid growth of the region's economy in last years. As a rule, economic growth leads, on the contrary, to greater stratification (an example of this is China), but in this region it is transformed into an improvement in the well-being of a wide range of citizens.

Except Belgorod region good level relative equality of wages is observed in the Republic of Mordovia (0.28). And in 9 regions (Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Tula Region, Vladimir Region, Penza Region, Republic of Crimea, Tambov Region, Oryol Region) the value of the Gini coefficient does not exceed 0.29. For the most part, with the exception of the Nenets autonomous region, regions with a relatively low Gini coefficient are at the end of the list in terms of the share of workers with wages above 100 thousand rubles per month, that is, the relative equality of wages is explained here by the absence of a noticeable number of rich people. This is not as good as if there were no poor in these regions, which the Nenets Autonomous Okrug can boast of. A relatively good situation (a low Gini coefficient with a good median salary) is in the Belgorod and Tula regions mentioned above.

At the other extreme, that is, in the area of ​​high values ​​of the Gini coefficient, for various reasons, both rich and relatively poor regions are located at the same time. Thus, the highest Gini coefficient for wages, as mentioned above, is observed in Moscow and the Sakhalin Region. At the same time, the relatively high wage inequality in these regions is not so significant by world standards. For comparison, approximately the same or even slightly higher value of the Gini coefficient is observed in the USA and Turkey. The high Gini coefficient in Moscow is explained by quite understandable factors that have already been indicated earlier. At the same time, the development of oil and gas production on Sakhalin in recent years has formed a significant group of workers who receive big salaries However, redistribution to other sectors (as, for example, in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, Nenets Autonomous Okrug and Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug) and, accordingly, their employees have not yet occurred, which creates a noticeable wage inequality in the region.

In addition to the two regions named leaders in terms of inequality, a noticeable polarization of wages is observed in 5 more regions: the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the Trans-Baikal Territory, the Republic of Tyva, the Astrakhan Region and the Kostroma Region. And if in the Krasnoyarsk Territory and the Trans-Baikal Territory the situation is similar to Moscow and Sakhalin region, when there are a large number of highly paid workers and a significant number with low wages, then in the remaining three regions (the Republic of Tuva, Astrakhan region and Kostroma region) high inequality is explained by a very large number of low-paid workers, despite the fact that there are not so many rich people there, then there is a situation with inequality in these three regions, which causes the prerequisites for the aggravation of social problems.

The average Russian value of the Gini coefficient is at a relatively high level (0.37), which is largely due not to inequality within regions, but to inequality between different regions. In general, wage inequality in Russia, according to the Gini coefficient, is approximately at the level of Japan or England. At the same time, the Gini salary coefficient in Russia as a whole is noticeably lower than the Gini coefficient calculated for incomes (0.41). This is explained simply - for very rich people, salary is far from the only source of income, most of the wealth is formed through dividends, income from deposits, income from property ownership, etc. Therefore, the distribution of salaries in our country is more even and, in a sense, more fairer than the distribution of income and savings. This situation is generally typical for all countries.

It can be noted that there is a fairly close relationship between wage inequality and the unemployment rate. The higher the unemployment rate in a region, the higher the wage inequality. This can be explained by the fact that in regions with high unemployment, many people job seekers, low-estimate their chances of finding a good job with decent pay, and in this regard, they agree to virtually any low-paid job. This is clearly seen in the example of the North Caucasian republics, where in recent years unemployment has fallen very significantly, but almost all new jobs have turned out to be low-paid.

Differences between regions are shrinking

The results of the study showed the scale of the territorial material stratification in Russia. The difference between the richest and poorest regions of Russia is very large. The leading regions are characterized by a median salary (the level at which exactly 50% of workers in the region earn more than this level, and 50% less) at the level of 53-59 thousand rubles, and in the poorest regions, the average worker can only count on 14-15 thousand rubles per month. Thus, in the Republic of Dagestan, the median average salary is only 13.6 thousand rubles, which is 4.5 times less than the salary of an average worker in the most prosperous region.

In general, in Russia there are 14 regions with a median salary above 30 thousand rubles per month and 33 regions with a median monthly salary below 20 thousand rubles. On average in Russia, the median monthly salary on hand is approximately 25 thousand rubles.

Noteworthy is the ratio of median wages to the cost of a fixed set of consumer goods and services in the region. To a certain extent, this indicator makes it possible to take into account the difference in prices in different regions when comparing salaries. The minimum value of the ratio was recorded in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (only 1.3), and the maximum - in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (3.6). Thus, taking into account the price level, the difference between the average worker of the richest region and the poorest is about 3 times.

It is noteworthy that according to this indicator St. Petersburg (3.5) ranks second, and is noticeably ahead of Moscow (2.9), and Leningrad region(3.2) is ahead of Moscow (2.5). Thus, it is much more profitable for an average worker to live in the northern capital than in Moscow, due to the noticeable high cost in the capital.

It should be noted that there is a positive trend in reducing the difference between wages in the regions. According to RIA Rating experts, over the past 4 years, the difference between the regions in terms of the maximum and minimum median wages has decreased from 4.6 times to 4.3 times, and the difference in median wages between the 10th places from the beginning and end of the list has decreased from 2, 5 times to 2.25 times. Thus, inequality has been declining quite noticeably in recent years, however, perhaps the crisis “helped” in this. Firstly, the slowdown in investment growth has increased the demand for labor due to less automation, and secondly, the salaries of highly paid specialists are more responsive to business activity while the low-paid are facing regulation (minimum wages, salaries in the social sphere in connection with the May 2012 decrees). Therefore, it can be expected that with the restoration of growth Russian economy the difference between regions in terms of wages may again begin to grow.

Numeric value average salary in Russia used to determine the amount of child support. This is due to the fact that the unit of wages calculated in this way determines the average level of wages of a certain group of the average population. Accordingly, the resulting numerical value can be used to calculate the average amount of maintenance payments, the final amount of which must partially or fully satisfy the financial needs of the recipient of the amounts.

However, there are many nuances and features associated with the calculation of alimony based on the average salary. This is due to the fact that these calculations can be applied both by attracting “high” and “low” indicators. Of course, for the lowest-income groups, the national average wage may be too high, which can lead to an increase in debt. As well as for regions where the average salary level is very high, the average value is the optimal beneficial amount.

As a rule, the arithmetic significance of the average salary is most often involved when it is necessary to determine the amount of debt for the payment of alimony for the past period. This option is optimal in view of the fact that the final amount of debt is determined based on the annual indicators of the average salary in the period when payments were not made.

According to the RF IC, the collection of debts for the payment of alimony can be made for the last 3 years, or from the moment when the debt was formed. The first option applies if the plaintiff is the direct culprit of the formation of the debt. For example, if performance list was not submitted for execution. The second option is used when the debtor is the direct culprit.

To make the final calculation of the amount of alimony arrears, the following aspects apply:

  • First of all, the amount of alimony, which was originally determined, is taken into account. In this case, it is not important the moment in which exactly the specified amount was established: through a settlement agreement, or when a court decision was made.
  • In addition to wages, alimony arrears also include shares of other types of earnings or income received by the defendant.
  • If the defendant does not have officially registered income during the formation of the debt, to determine its final amount, average wages. which has been adopted regionally and nationally.

Accordingly, the average indicator is used only in cases where the debtor cannot document his own income.

Table of average salaries around the world

To compare the data, below are the average salaries around the world (selectively), the data are in US dollars, relevant for 2018.

Every year, researchers publish studies on salaries by city. Based on the results of these studies, we can conclude which of the cities is best to live in. So, let's make a small rating of Russian cities in terms of wages.

Volgograd

A hero city with a population of about a million people. Despite the fact that it is actively developing and is the most important transport center of the country, the average salary, according to Internet statistics, is not so high in this city. Despite the fact that a little more than half a century ago, the fate of the world order was decided here, on average, 24 thousand rubles are received here.

Nizhny Novgorod


One of major cities Russia, whose population exceeds 1,200,000 people. The city is famous for being one of the largest transport hubs in Russia. River tourism is well developed here.

Many of us are interested in comparing our incomes with the average for the country or for our own region. Rosstat publishes data on the average salary in Russia, individual regions and even individual sectors of the economy. Despite the many shortcomings inherent in official statistics, there is no better source of data in any case. What is the average salary in Russia in 2018 according to Rosstat - a table by region, as well as by industry.

The average salary in Russia and certain regions in 2018 - Rosstat data

The statistics published by Rosstat, of course, are not accurate. At the very least, it suffers from the fact that in Russia the percentage of organizations whose employees officially receive minimum wage. Unfortunately, these are the features of the Russian economy, where almost everywhere in the private sector wages are paid “in envelopes”.

Also in Russia there are quite a lot of people who earn by self-employment, the state does not see their income in principle.

All this introduces a rather noticeable and significant bias into the statistical data on wages.

The statistics published by Rosstat is the so-called nominal accrued salary. That is, this is the salary from which income tax in the amount of 13 percent was not deducted.

According to Rosstat, after such an amendment, the average salary in Russia as a whole for the economy in March 2018 amounted to 36,857 rubles. Before tax, this was an amount of 42,364 rubles.

Below we present the recalculated taking into account the deduction income tax data on the average salary in all Russian regions. Data for March 2018 at this moment are the most recent.

The average salary in Russia in 2018 by sector of the economy - Rosstat data

The level of the average salary in the economy as a whole is not the only statistics that Rosstat publishes regarding salaries. No less, and perhaps even more interesting is the statistics on average wages in various sectors of the economy.

It is clear, for example, that in most cases workers oil industry will receive salaries above the national average. And the employee wants to compare his earnings with the average for the oil industry as a whole.

Likewise, workers Agriculture, alas, most often they receive salaries much lower than the national average, and it is more correct to compare similar with similar, that is, their own salary with the average salary of workers in the same field.

Of course, these statistics will arouse interest among young people, including older students.

Despite all the shortcomings of official statistics on the level of wages, income statistics by sectors of the economy quite accurately reflect in which areas in Russia the biggest money is earned and where young people should move if they want to earn a lot of money.

Similarly to the first table, the data presented below on the average salary in various sectors of the economy have been corrected by us taking into account the deduction of income tax. Rosstat data reflects the salary, including tax, and it may not be so easy to immediately figure out how much workers in a particular industry receive in their hands.
