Monetary allowance includes. Russian military salaries

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

In 2010, a draft of the new law was posted on the website of the Ministry of Defense, in 2011 it was adopted. The long-awaited Law "On monetary allowances 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. From 01/01/12, it affected all servicemen of Vooruz. forces and internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
  2. From 01.01.13 it spread to the military personnel of all other departments (Ministry of Emergency Situations, FSO, FSB, military prosecutor's office, SVR, investigative committee SK)

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

  • Military position
  • Assigned military rank
  • Total duration military service
  • Tasks performed
  • Conditions and procedure for military service

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

Thanks to adopted law, the maximum allowance for special conditions of military service is 100% of the salary. Maximum size the allowance for performing tasks in peacetime that pose a risk to life and health is also 100% of the salary.

If a serviceman dies while performing his duties, then his family receives an allowance 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 for conscripts

Quite recently (until 2012) ordinary recruits received about 400-500 rubles a month. On January 21, 2012, the Law on an experiment to unify the pay of conscripts for the period 2012-2013 was signed. Now all conscripts receive 2,000 rubles a month.

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

Monetary allowance for contractors

Those military personnel who serve under contract receive a salary consisting of:

  • Military salary
  • Military grade salary

Both of these indicators are collectively called salary now. pay, to which monthly or other payments can be added. Starting in 2012, salaries for military positions range from 10 thousand to 45 thousand rubles. For example, the salary of an officer in the management of a motorized rifle (tank) corps is 22,500 rubles, and the salary of a foreman is 18,000 rubles. The salaries in 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 cash benefits of military personnel

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

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

  • If the taxpayer took part in the elimination of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident, then a deduction of 3000 rudders is available to him monthly
  • Disabled military personnel of groups 1, 2, 3 can also claim a deduction of 3,000 rubles per month
  • Tax deduction provided to parents of children under 24 years old. For the first and second child, the amount is 1400 rubles, for the third and subsequent, as well as for disabled children - 3000 rubles.
  • Tax deduction for treatment
  • Tax deduction for training
  • Tax deduction for the purchase of housing - up to 260 thousand rubles.

The legendary and invincible Russian army, which has learned the joy of victories, feeds the morale of more than half of our citizens, who are confident that a patriotic mood will strengthen the country's position at the world level. Recently there have been capital investment in defense, the salary of the military rises, and the attractiveness of the service has grown significantly. The events in Ukraine that unfolded in 2014 also caused a surge of patriotic unrest.

Our army is armed very well, given that Russia has the most weapons of mass destruction in the world, including nuclear. 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;
  • available military ranks.

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

By the way, the well-being of people in uniform today is at a decent level. The average salary of the Russian military 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 several indicators affect the earnings of each serviceman.

Salary table by military rank and position
Military rank, positionSalary according to military positionSalary according to military rankAverage charge per month, taking into account all additional payments
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 (regiment commander)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 charges should be 50,000 rubles, with allowances - 80,000 rubles. Many will think these figures are quite modest for people with such a responsibility on their shoulders - to defend their homeland. But if you consider that before 2012 average salary lieutenant was 14,000, you can see a significant improvement in the situation.

What's in 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 urgently invested in the development of the production of defense equipment in order to replace the earlier supplies from other states that have applied sanctions to Russia.

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

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

In the United States, the average monthly income of a general 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, taking into account all allowances. German soldier - 141,000 rubles, English - 125,000 rubles.

In the CIS countries, the situation is even worse than in Russia. For example, in Belarus, a lieutenant receives 6,550 rubles a month in Russian money, and a Ukrainian colleague - 15,000.

Military fees. Salary

Participants receive not only monetary remuneration, but also full food and clothing provision. All income (wages, scholarships, allowances, etc.) that could have been received during the passage of the fees are compensated.

Fees apply to those who are in 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.

Surcharges and additional payments

Initially, it may seem that the salary of a military man in Russia is absolutely none, but this does not take into account the 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, a private will receive a bonus of 100 rubles for qualifications, and the commander of a submarine missile carrier, by order of the Ministry of Defense No. 400, will receive 200,000 rubles.

An employee in the army receives good housing bonuses, in the case of conscientious service, the contractor is given the right to acquire permanent housing using the accumulative mortgage system. If after 7-10 years a situation arises that the state will have to pay in full the balance of mortgage lending.

Military under contract. Salary

Contractual service in the ranks of the Russian army is quite a popular phenomenon. Contractors are voluntary members of the Armed Forces who carry out their activities on the basis of a treaty. The main conditions are age limit and conscientious performance of official duties. The first contract is concluded under the conditions if the citizen is not less than 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 pay for contract servicemen was established in accordance with two laws:

  1. of 07.11.2011 N 306-FZ of 06.04.2015 "On the monetary allowance of military personnel and the provision of separate payments to them."
  2. Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 05.12.2011 N 992 (of 06.08.2015) "On the establishment of salaries for servicemen 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. Allowances and additional charges are added to the total amount. material aid, paid annually for good service.

Average size of DD (monetary allowance)

  • Private contract soldier - 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 the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Tatyana Shevtsova. Contract servicemen 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 equal to 2 salaries.

Contract military service in the army is a prestigious profession, and the number of contract servicemen is increasing every year, so the question of what is the salary of the military always remains relevant? 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 the position held, contractors receive paid leave every year, taking into account from 30 days or more.

Profession - military aviation 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 meals, 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 charged at 55%, but not more than 80%.

Monetary allowance for medical staff

There is such a profession as a military physician is seriously different from other specialists. A military doctor is one of the most respected professions.This is a person exclusively with the highest medical education... Only a junior officer can become a doctor in the army, warrant officers are paramedics, privates are paramedics, and sergeants are instructors. But, unfortunately, this respect is not traced in the salaries of military doctors.

Colonels, heads of departments, receive from 20,000 rubles. The average allowance for lieutenants is 10,000 rubles a month.

Should we expect a salary increase in 2017?

Will the salaries of the military be increased and will there be indexation? V Federal law No. 306 of 2011 talks about the need for annual indexing wages, bonus payments and allowances. In 2017, indexation is expected to take place in February, based on price increases in 2016. But it is too early to talk about an increase in wages, even in spite of the current law, especially in conditions of economic instability.

Indexation and crisis

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

Not so long ago, everyone who was called to mandatory, paid insignificant amounts - 500 rubles, today the figure has increased to 2,000. 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 be made only when indexing is carried out.

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

Military pension

Military personnel tend to retire early. Already at the age of 40, you can count on pension payments, but on condition that the military continues to serve. 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 on vacation.

Summing up the resume

The annual increase in the salaries of the military and the improvement of conditions are associated with the fact that recently Russia needs 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. To attract people, the size of the monthly salary is also increasing and the issues of improving housing conditions are being addressed.

The main task of the state in the military sector is to replenish the army ranks of the officer corps.

In general, the salary of the military today in the country is decent, especially in comparison with civilian income. Although it is quite difficult to earn money on your own housing on your own. For many recruits living in the provinces, the prospects of working in the RF Air Force are very tempting, given the conditions of the current crisis and the sheer 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 ungrateful and dangerous, and the risk to life is already included in the salary from the very beginning. Service in the army allows you to receive stable income now and confidence in a secure future.

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

The increase in the army salary in 2018 occurred for the first time in the last five years. For this purpose, budgetary allocations have been increased by 18 billion rubles. At first glance, a significant amount was distributed among the active military and retirees. At the same time, in the first year of execution of the decision, the calculator of monetary allowances for military personnel in 2018 will not show a significant increase. Its growth will be approximately four percent. Until 2021, the indexation will be carried out three times, thus, by the time the program is completed, the salary calculator will show an increase in payments within twelve percent for privates and command personnel.

How the military salary calculator works

Monetary allowance consists of several payment items. Basic - monthly salary in accordance with:

  • the rank of a soldier;
  • position held.

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

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

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

Calculate monetary allowance, taking into account incentive

The indexation of the salary of an officer and an ordinary soldier will not affect the system of additional payments. The Defense Department pledges to keep the revenue-generating allocation unchanged until 2021. Target additional payments for the class remain, which increase by 10% from the third to the master. And also monthly in the amount of 100% of the initial salary.

These include surcharges for:

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

Work outside the Russian Federation, in the conditions of the Far North, areas equated to it, areas with unfavorable climatic and environmental conditions, is paid in accordance with the coefficients and percentage allowances that are "repelled" from total amount salary with current allowances, which is taken into account by the soldier's calculator on our website.

The total number of allowances provided to stimulate interest in military service exceeds one and a half dozen. Some are paid monthly, while others are paid periodically, once a year. They form an additional material package that officers and soldiers receive for public holidays and leave. 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 the conscientious performance of duties - no more than three salaries, taking into account their volume in this year... The calculator of the salary of military personnel in 2018 does not take these payments into account, since their size is calculated individually.

The salary of a soldier of the Russian army in the dry official language is called monetary allowance. But regardless of the name, it is she who is the main motivating factor that influences the decision to serve under a contract. Therefore, before devoting their lives to the Armed Forces, many potential defenders of the Fatherland would like to know the size of their future salaries. How to calculate it and what data to use for this? We will talk about this in detail in this article.

The main components of pay

For each contractor, without exception, a salary is provided, which is paid monthly. It can be called a baseline indicator for calculating pay. But, in addition to the salary, such factors as:

  • military rank. The higher it is, the higher the money allowance;
  • position held. This is one of the main factors. For example, a captain in a major's position receives significantly more than his rank is entitled to;
  • life time. In addition to the salary, each serviceman must be paid a bonus for length of service;
  • conditions for military service;
  • specific tasks performed by a contract officer or sergeant.

Also, for contractors who perform any tasks that are somehow associated with a risk to life (not necessarily in wartime), additional allowances are provided, the amount of which can reach 100 percent of the salary.

How to calculate your salary

Above, we examined the main factors that affect the formation of the amount of monetary allowance. Now we will apply our knowledge in practice and try to find out what share of the salary are certain allowances:

  • as already mentioned, the basis is the salary of a soldier. All other components represent a percentage of its amount;
  • for the length of service, up to 40 percent of the salary is added monthly to the salary;
  • for work with documents or any data constituting a state secret, a surcharge of up to 65% of the principal amount is provided;
  • for any special achievements, additional payments can be 100 percent of the salary;
  • 5-30 percent is added to the salary for class;
  • the various talents of an officer or warrant officer are also quite adequately evaluated. If he is an excellent student in combat and physical training, he knows foreign languages or has other useful skills, then it may well count on an additional payment, the amount and frequency of which is determined by the command;
  • for the performance of combat missions that are performed outside of their military unit, an increase of up to 100 percent of the salary is provided.

In addition, in fulfilling his duties with honor, a soldier can count on a bonus paid once a year and ranging from one to three salaries. Additional payments include material assistance, the amount of which is set by the commander of a particular unit.

Additional payments upon change of duty and dismissal

In addition to the salary and all of the above allowances, there are two more types of additional payments that cannot be ignored when talking about the salary of a soldier:

  • "Lifting", issued to an officer, warrant officer or conscript when moving to another unit or to another duty station. Their amount can be 100 percent of the salary plus 25% for each of the family members;
  • a one-time allowance for servicemen retiring to the reserve. Its size is calculated depending on the service life. If it is more than 20 years, the payment reaches 7 salaries. Otherwise, the officer will receive 2 salaries.

If we add up all the allowances, as well as additional payments, it turns out that the salary of a soldier today can range from 10 to 50 thousand rubles.

Monetary allowance for conscripts

The salary received by military personnel called up for military service is several times less than that of contract soldiers. However, there are clear improvements here as well. If relatively recently the amount of money allowance for them was only 500 rubles, then today soldiers and sergeants can expect to receive a monetary allowance in the amount of two thousand rubles.

This is not much, but it should be remembered that conscripts, firstly, are in full state support and secondly, they have a number of benefits. For example, they can ride public transport for free, use other services, the cost of which is covered by special payments.

Income tax for military personnel

Like other citizens of Russia, military personnel are required to pay income tax, the amount of which is fixed at 13 percent. Its amount does not increase in 2016-2017, despite the fact that the salary level has grown significantly.

Income tax is deducted from contractors and conscripts at the time of payroll, which eliminates the need to independently contact the relevant authorities, waste time visiting the tax office.

In addition to taxes, they reduce the size of wages and various deductions of funds, which can be carried out from any other natural person... These include:

  • maintenance alimony ex-wife or minor children, the amount of which can reach 25, 33 or 50 percent of the salary;
  • deductions established for a soldier in judicial procedure... This can be, for example, a penalty that has not been paid on time or payments on an overdue loan;
  • tax deductions, which we mentioned above.

The best way to accurately calculate your military salary

Are you not too friendly with mathematics or simply cannot afford to waste precious time calculating the amount of money allowance with all the allowances and deductions listed in the article? In the era of the Internet and high technologies, this process will take you only a few minutes, without having to look for a piece of paper, a pen or ancient abacus.

In most cases, the military serve in those positions that are provided for by the staffing table of the unit, military departments and organizations. There are times when a soldier is seconded to service in government organization... In this situation, the position will not be military, but civil.

A soldier can only be employed in one military position. Each such position has a corresponding military rank. Consider the tariff scale for military personnel in the article.

Note that it is the president of the country who asserts single register military 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 federal executive bodies that involve military service. The approval procedure is determined by the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation. These registers indicate the military positions that can be filled by female military personnel or civilians. Substitution on a competitive basis is also possible.

Position assignments

Only a presidential decree can regulate appointments to those positions that are provided for by the staffing table for senior officers. The head of the federal executive body has the right to appoint servicemen with the rank 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 servicemen under their authority. There are some conditions for appointment to a military post:


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

Highest army position

The highest military position is considered, for which the staffing table provides for a military rank higher than for 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 military personnel further.

The highest army positions are appointed in the following cases:

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

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

Equal military post

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

  • when a need arises;
  • with various regular organizational activities;
  • if service in a new position is more expedient;
  • at the personal request of a contract soldier due to family circumstances;
  • due to deterioration in health or injury incompatible with the position;
  • on a competitive basis (for contract employees).

It should be noted that the salaries of military personnel in Russia today are quite decent.

Lower army post

The lowest position is considered for which the staffing table 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 activities;
  • due to family circumstances;
  • for health reasons of military service;
  • by personal request (for military personnel serving under a contract);
  • when a disciplinary sanction is applied to a soldier.

How much does a private conscript earn, let's figure it out further.

How do I get my job back?

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

Monetary allowance of the military

It is certainly prestigious to be a soldier in our country. This nuance became especially noticeable with the increase in salaries for military personnel, which happened a couple of years ago. The profession is gaining more and more respect for 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, let alone stop, the state is required to provide decent social and material support for the military sphere. The military, carrying out service under the contract, receive not the so-called monetary allowance. Receiving the latter is regulated by federal law.

What does it consist of?

Money allowance consists of three parts:

  1. Fixed military salary, depending on the position held and military rank.
  2. A bonus received every month as a reward for the quality of service. It is about 25 percent of the fixed salary.
  3. Salary allowances 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 the law adopted in 2011. So, the 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 say that the unit commander is getting pretty good money.

How is the tariff schedule drawn up?

The military tariff scale is compiled based on the following factors: length of service, annual material assistance, bonus for service in "hot spots", as well as for difficult conditions associated with the climate (if it comes on service in the Far North).

The calculation of the 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 post of a soldier (the table is presented).

Indexation of military pay

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

Indexation was forecasted for 2017 at least at the level of official inflation... However, these intentions were not realized and the salaries of the military were not indexed. We can only hope that in the future annual indexations will be renewed. The President has repeatedly spoken about the state's interest in a strong and powerful army, in a qualified military personnel. Therefore, most likely, the military salary will continue to grow, as well as the opportunities for 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 significantly lower than for everyone else. There are other benefits too:

  • military mortgages provided to the families of employees at very low interest rates;
  • free treatment in military hospitals;
  • compensation for travel by rail during vacation;
  • contract employees receive life insurance for their entire 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 the military personnel in as much detail as possible. We wish you success in your military career!
