Calculation of the allowance for the care of a child under 1.5 years old in 2018 (example)

The calculation of the amount of the allowance is based on the average earnings of the employed person, calculated for the two calendar years preceding the year of going on vacation, also for the period of work with other policyholders.

For calculation the amount of the allowance for women taking parental leave in 2017 is used following algorithm:

P = (NW 2015 + NW 2016) / (731 - excluded days) × 30.4 × 40%,

• P- the amount of the allowance;
• SZ- average earnings for specified year(two full previous years are taken into account, respectively in 2017 - 2015 and 2016);
• 731 - the number of days in these two years;
• 30,4 - the average number of calendar days in a month.

For entrepreneurs, private notaries and lawyers who voluntarily paid insurance premiums for prior year, monthly allowance up to 1.5 years is paid in minimal sizes without calculating their average earnings.

Processing time and required documents

Payment of child allowance up to 1.5 years working is carried out on the same days as the payment of wages. To get it statement must be written no later than six months after how did the maternity leave end(BiR). The conclusion on the provision of benefits is adopted within ten days from the time of its submission. The payment is assigned immediately after the last paid day of the BiR benefit.

If the monthly amount for care is more than the amount calculated for the month according to the BiR, then the woman after giving birth can refuse payments under the BiR and immediately. Then this payment will be established from the birth of the child, offsetting the previously paid by BiR.

In order to receive payments for the care of a child under 1.5 years old every month, officially employed persons must submit the following documents to the accounting department at the place of work:

Working citizens submit all certificates at the place of work or study of the one who will actually take care of the child, that is, the one who is on parental leave.

Since July 1, 2017, the minimum wage has been increased from 7,500 rubles to 7,800 rubles. Will such an increase be reflected in the size of child benefits? In general, how is the minimum wage related to child benefits paid by the employer? Do you need to revise the size of already paid childcare benefits and maternity benefits from July 1? We will provide a table with the new amounts of child benefits from July 1, 2017 and will tell you in detail what exactly changes from the indicated date.

What are "child benefits"

Let's say right away that such a concept as "child benefits" is not directly disclosed in the legislation. However, in practice, under child allowances, accountants usually mean payments that are associated with the birth and upbringing of children. Such benefits are generally obligated to be paid by the employer. The "children's" benefits include:

• registration allowance early dates pregnancy;
• a lump sum for the birth of a child;
• monthly allowance for caring for a child up to 1.5 years old;
• maternity allowance ("maternity").

However, in 2017, the size of child benefits changed several times. In this regard, we consider it appropriate to tell our readers about this. In particular, we will tell you in detail how the size of child benefits has changed since July 1, 2017.

Amount of benefits from January 1, 2017

From January 1, 2017, employers should have paid employees some “child” benefits in the same amounts as in 2016, since the indexation of benefits from the beginning of the year was not planned at the legislative level. Let us give in the table the amounts of benefits that are determined by legislation in fixed amounts and are subject to indexation:

At the same time, the maximum amount of the childcare allowance is not subject to state indexation. Also, the maternity allowance is not indexed. However, their size changes due to a change in the size of the base for calculating insurance premiums in the billing period. The amounts of these benefits from January 1, 2017 were as follows:

Indexation was in February

The "child" benefits listed in the table above are subject to annual indexing... In 2017, an indexation of 1.54% was planned from February 1, 2017 (Government Decree Russian Federation dated 26.01.2017 No. 88). In this regard, the size of some "child" benefits have increased since February.

District coefficients

In areas and localities where regional coefficients to wages, "Children's" allowances (both in January 2017 and from February 1, 2017) will be higher - they need to be additionally increased by the amount of the multiplying coefficient (Article 5 of Law No. 81-FZ).

How child benefits are changing from 1 July 2017

From July 1, 2017, the minimum wage has been increased to 7800 rubles. But why does this affect the amount of child benefits from July 1, 2017? Let us explain with examples and present the new sizes of benefits.

Maternity allowance ("maternity")

The new minimum wage (RUB 7800) applies to maternity benefits from July 1, 2017 in the following cases:

• if there were no payments in the billing period or their amount is small;
• if the employee's insurance experience at the time of granting the benefit was six months.

What is the billing period

The billing period is two calendar years preceding the beginning of the decree (from January 1 to December 31). If a woman goes on maternity leave, say, in July 2017, then the billing period will be 2015-2016. During this period, the income of the person applying for the benefit is taken into account.

The minimum amount of maternity allowance has changed

We believe it expedient to note that an employee who is assigned a maternity allowance has the right to apply to the accounting department to replace one or two years of the billing period with other years (if there is no earnings in the billing period or it is small). The accountant should change the years while observing 3 conditions:

1. the woman wants to change the years in which she was on maternity leave or parental leave;
2. the years selected for replacement precede the billing period (letter of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated 03.08.2015 No. 17-1 / OOG-1105);
3. based on the results of the replacement years, the amount of the benefit will increase.

But if there is no right to replace the years, then the maternity allowance must be calculated from the minimum wage - in the minimum amount. In such a situation, it is required to determine the minimum average daily earnings using the following formula:

Minimum average daily earnings = minimum wage at the beginning of the decree x 24/730

From July 1, 2017, the minimum wage is 7800 rubles. Therefore, from July 1, the minimum average daily earnings for calculating benefits is 256.438356 rubles. (7800 rubles × 24 months) / 730. Here is an example of calculation minimum allowance for pregnancy and childbirth from 1 July with the application of the new value average daily earnings:

An example of calculating maternity benefits from July 2017

A.V. Nikolaeva wishes to go on maternity leave from 28 July 2017. The settlement period is from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2016. There was no earnings in the billing period. Insurance experience - 7 months. The regional coefficient is not applied. The minimum average daily wage is RUB 256.438356. (7800 rubles × 24 months) / 730. Daily allowance - 256.438356 rubles. (256.438356 p. × 100%). As a result, the amount of A.V. Nikolaeva for 140 calendar days of the decree, calculated from the minimum wage in the minimum allowable amount, will be 35,901.37 rubles. (256.438356 rubles × 140 days).

Maternity leave is a statutory paid period of 140, 156 or 194 days that every woman is entitled to to have a child and recover her health.

Until July 1, 2016, the minimum wage is 7,500 rubles. And if maternity leave began in 2017 (from February 1 to June 30), then the minimum average daily earnings for calculating maternity benefits were taken equal to 246.575342 rubles. (7500 rubles × 24 months / 730). This value was used to further calculate the benefit if it turned out to be more than the actual average daily earnings of the employee. The minimum amounts of maternity benefits until June 30, 2017 were as follows:

• 34,520.55 RUB (246.575342 rubles × 140 days) - in the general case;
• RUB 47,835.62 (246.575342 rubles x 194 days) - with multiple pregnancies;
• RUB 38,465.75 (246.575342 rubles x 156 days) - with complicated childbirth.

From July 1, 2017, the minimum amount of maternity payments must be calculated from the new minimum average daily earnings of 256.438356 rubles. The new values ​​of the minimum maternity benefits from July 1, 2017 with different length of leave are as follows:

• RUB 35,901.37 (256.438356 × 140 days) - in the general case;
• RUB 49,749.04 (256.438356 x 194 days) - with multiple pregnancy;
• RUB 40,004.38 (256.438356 x 156 days) - with complicated childbirth.

Compare minimum values maternity benefits from the latest minimum wages in the table:

As can be seen from the table, since July 1, 2017, the minimum amount of maternity allowance has increased.

If the experience is less than 6 months

By the time the maternity leave begins, a woman's experience may be less than six months. This happens, for example, if this is the first place of work. Then maternity wages for a full calendar month should not exceed the minimum wage (part 3 of article 11 Federal law dated December 29, 2006 No. 255-FZ). In areas with district coefficients- in an amount not exceeding the minimum wage, taking into account such coefficients.

When calculating maternity benefits for less than six months of experience, you should use the minimum wage in force in the month of commencement maternity leave... That is, if the vacation began, for example, in June 2017, and ended in October, then in order to limit the amount of benefits in June, you need to rely on the minimum wage in the amount of 7,500 rubles, and in July, August, September and October - 7,800 rubles.

Maximum size of maternity

As for the maximum size of maternity benefits, they have not changed since July 1, 2017, since they do not affect the maximum size of the minimum wage. For calculation maximum amount maternity from 2017, you need to take into account the maximum size of the average daily earnings. It is calculated according to a formula that does not take into account the minimum wage, but the maximum values ​​of the base for calculating insurance premiums in the Social Insurance Fund for the billing period.

In 2015, the maximum base size was 670,000 rubles. (Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 4, 2014 No. 1316), and in 2016 - 718,000 rubles. (Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of November 26, 2015 No. 1265).

That is, in 2017, the maximum average earnings are taken into account as 1901.37 rubles. (670,000 rubles + 718,000 rubles) / 730. Accordingly, as you can see from the table below, the maximum limits from July 1, 2017 remained the same.

Childcare allowance from 1 July 2017

The employer must pay the childcare allowance to the employee on a monthly basis in an amount equal to 40% of the average earnings, but not less than the minimum amount (clause 1 of article 11.2 of Federal Law No. 255-FZ of December 29, 2006).

Minimum care allowance increased

The minimum basic amount of the childcare allowance is established by part 1 of article 15 of the Law of May 19, 1995 No. 81-FZ and is:

• when caring for the first child - 1500 rubles. per month;
• when caring for a second and subsequent children - 3000 rubles. per month.

These amounts are indexed annually by an appropriate coefficient. Taking into account all indexation factors as of February 1, 2017, the minimum childcare benefits were as follows:

• RUB 3,065.69 - for the first child;
• 6131, 37 p. - for the second and subsequent children.

Due to the increase in the minimum wage, the minimum amount of child benefit will increase from July 1, 2017. After all, the amount of the minimum allowance (for the first child) from July 1, 2017 cannot be less than the amount calculated from the new minimum wage, namely 3120 rubles (7800 rubles x 40%). However, you should only use the new value if parental leave started on or after July 1, 2017. At the same time, the minimum wage for caring for the second and subsequent children does not change. It remains in the amount of 6131 rubles for and after July 1.

Maximum care allowance remains the same

The maximum amount of the childcare allowance is not limited. However, there is a limited amount of the average daily earnings on the basis of which this benefit is calculated.

It has been established that the size of the average daily earnings for calculating benefits cannot be more amount the limit values ​​of the base for calculating insurance premiums for the two years preceding the year of the onset of parental leave, divided by 730 (part 3.3 of article 14 of Law No. 255-FZ). Therefore, to calculate maximum size average daily earnings apply the formula:

The maximum value of the average daily earnings = the sum of the limit values ​​of the base for calculating the FSS contributions for the two previous years / 730

Consequently, if a woman's vacation begins in 2017, then the calculations should take the values ​​of the limit values ​​of the base for calculating contributions to the Social Insurance Fund for 2015 and 2016

The minimum pension in Moscow has increased. Also, the size of payments and benefits for veterans of the Great Patriotic War, disabled people, large families, orphans and other preferential categories of citizens.

In 2017, the city authorities decided to unprecedentedly increase the volume of payments and benefits to Muscovites. The minimum pension was set at 17,500 rubles. City payments to veterans and invalids of the Great Patriotic War have doubled. Benefits for large and low-income families and other privileged categories of citizens have increased significantly. In addition, it was decided to increase the number of recipients of sanatorium-resort treatment from 120 to 200 thousand people, and benefits for payment utilities provide more than four million city dwellers.

In addition, it was in 2017 that the expansion of the list of social services and benefits for Muscovites in need of help was announced. More than 3.8 million residents of the city were entitled to free travel. Increased benefits and payments to Muscovites will begin to accrue from the beginning current year... In 2018, all citizens eligible for benefits and social services will be able to fully implement it.

In total, more than 430 billion rubles are planned for social support of Moscow residents in 2018 (in 2017, more than 390 billion were allocated for this). An important achievement in the field of social services was the transfer of services to electronic view... Already 26 public services in the field of social protection can be obtained from the comfort of your home, and nine of them are available exclusively online. Hereinafter, the list electronic services will continue to replenish.

What assistance is provided to retirees

Moscow allowances to pensions have increased by three thousand rubles since January 1, 2018. Thus, the minimum pension has grown from 14,500 to 17,500 rubles a month. The increase will affect about 1.4 million pensioners. Another 43 thousand unemployed citizens of retirement age receive city supplements for the first time. Monthly payments veterans of the Great Patriotic War and home front workers, labor veterans, people who suffered from political repression, and holders of a number of state awards were doubled. The annual monetary "gifts" to the families of the anniversary have also increased: the amount of payments to Muscovites who have been married for 50 years will now amount to 20 thousand rubles. Payments on the occasion of the 55th anniversary of married life, 60th anniversary and so on have doubled or even more. In addition, over 110 thousand single unemployed pensioners aged 70-80 can take advantage of the privilege to pay contributions for major repairs.

But not only material support is important, but also the formation of active and useful leisure for the older generation. Last year, the City of Longevity program was launched in the capital. Thanks to her, elderly citizens can attend a variety of hobby groups, dance groups, excursions, play sports and gain new knowledge. More than 500 schools for retirees are open today, where they teach the basics healthy way life, safety, self-defense, teach to cope with chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus. They are already visited by about 60 thousand people.

On November 1, 2017, another educational project, Silver University, was launched in the city. Classes are organized with the participation of the Moscow City Pedagogical University and are held both on the basis of educational institutions and territorial social service centers. Lessons are taught at the university by teachers of the Moscow Pedagogical state university, school teachers, student volunteers and other involved specialists. Here you can master the basics of computer, financial, legal literacy, study foreign languages, get the profession of nanny and urban landscapers. So far, there are almost three times more people wishing to enter the university than study places. Therefore, the project will be expanded in the new year.

For elderly people with limited mobility who, due to health reasons, cannot leave the apartment, there is a “Sanatorium at Home” in Moscow. If any of the patients need urgent help, employees of the Mobile Social Service, which was created at the city centers of social protection, are ready to come to the rescue. Social workers will bring food, call a doctor, or help take medicine. Nursing services are also provided to the guests of the home "sanatorium". More than five thousand people participate in the program, including pensioners, veterans and invalids of the Great Patriotic War.

How large and low-income families will be supported

Since 2018, payments to families with children in need of assistance have increased several times. First of all, this applies to low-income citizens. For them, benefits for a child under three years old will be 10 thousand rubles, and for a child over three years old - four thousand rubles (before that there were two to three thousand, depending on the age of the child). For single mothers and families where one of the parents avoids alimony, payments for a child under three years old from three to five thousand will rise to 15 thousand rubles a month.

In addition to financial assistance, more than 10 thousand children from low-income families will receive vouchers to camps and sanatoriums, as well as free meals at school. In addition, in the centers of social protection, you can get food and grocery certificates, as well as certificates for the purchase of clothing, footwear and children's goods and certificates for the provision of durable goods that can be used in stores in the capital.

Since this year, the monthly compensation payments due to the rise in the cost of living (up to 1200 rubles for families with three or four children and up to 1500 for families with five or more) and payments for the purchase of children's goods. In addition, large families will continue to be provided with free travel on public transport (for children and one of the parents), free parking and places in kindergarten, meals at school, discounts on visits to museums, sports and cultural events, and free tickets to the zoo.

All Moscow families with children receive financial support from the city. In addition to the federal allowance, Muscovite parents receive a one-time payment of 5,500 rubles for the first, 14,500 for the second and subsequent children. And if triplets are born, then the family receives 50 thousand rubles. In addition, young families with a child are encouraged in the capital. If both parents are under 30, they will be paid five times the amount living wage(seven times for the second, 10 times for the third and subsequent). Dairy kitchens operating at the capital's clinics traditionally remain an excellent help for families with small children.

Thanks to social support, every year there are more large families in Moscow. Now the city has material assistance over 125 thousand large families with more than 315 thousand minor children. For comparison - in 2011 there were only 73 thousand such families.

What social guarantees can people with disabilities count on?

From January 1, 2018, the allowance for parents raising children with disabilities will be 12 thousand rubles (instead of six thousand). Also, a new allowance is being introduced for these families - an annual payment for the purchase of a school uniform (10 thousand rubles). More than 1.1 million people with disabilities in Moscow, families raising children with disabilities, and participants in the liquidation of the Chernobyl accident nuclear power plant 50 percent discounts on utility bills are provided.

Since January 2016, due to changes in federal legislation, people have been forced to pay in full for water, electricity and heating, which they spent in excess of the standards. However, the city authorities have restored the benefits, now the townspeople again pay only 50 percent of the bills for the entire communal apartment, regardless of consumption standards. In addition to the traditional material support for people with disabilities (travel benefits, utility bills, rehabilitation means, and so on), the capital is actively adapting the city infrastructure for them.

Since 2014, Moscow disabled people have been issued more than 25 thousand social certificates worth more than 110 million rubles. Thanks to them, Muscovites in need of help were able to purchase multifunctional medical beds with an electric drive, bedside tables, steps and boards for the bath, chairs for bath and shower, as well as other necessary goods. In 2016 alone, almost 270 thousand people received technical means of rehabilitation and prosthetic and orthopedic products, and more than 55 thousand disabled Muscovites were assisted in rehabilitation. Tens of thousands of citizens with disabilities will continue to receive spa treatment at the expense of the city budget.
