Unlike most other professions, including the military, which are often compared to performing the duties of employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, work in law enforcement agencies in most cases involves risks to health and even life. That is why workers in this field have the right to claim various preferences, including wage supplements. As retirement age approaches, employees begin to wonder at what age they have the right to retire and what size of their future pension they can expect. Laws regarding pensions are constantly changing, so let's find out how to calculate the pension of employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in 2021.
Latest changes and news about pensions for employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
At the beginning of 2021, pension payments to employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were increased due to indexation, but at the same time, the lower threshold for the number of years in the total length of service after which one can retire was raised. Previously, it was necessary to work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for 20 years, but now you will have to serve 5 years more - 25 years.
All employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who were supposed to retire in 2021 will have to work an additional 5 years.
Such strict measures are associated with the following points:
- During a period of prolonged economic crisis, there is a huge government budget deficit, and authorities are looking for ways to cut costs.
- The Ministry of Internal Affairs is loyal to the authorities, and therefore it is better to start pension reforms not with the common people, but with the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
- The government is striving to improve the work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs through longer service and the efforts of employees to improve the quality of work in order to provide themselves with a decent pension in the future.
The main goal of the Government is, of course, to save budget funds, and one can count on the cancellation of recently adopted reforms only when the country’s economy stabilizes.
What benefits are not available to long-service pensioners?
What federal benefits will there be for labor veterans in 2021 in Russia?
Utilities and other housing services are paid by the pensioner in full. There are no discounts for telephone reimbursement.
Only family members of law enforcement officers will receive discounts on housing costs in the event of their death while on duty.
Benefits for immediate relatives of retired law enforcement officers as of January 1, 2021:
- Family members of pensioners have the right to free medical care in medical institutions under the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
- Relatives of such pensioners have the right to a trip to the sanatorium with a 50% discount;
- In the event of the death of a pensioner due to an illness received during service in the authorities, the Ministry of Internal Affairs makes payments for the upbringing of his minor children;
- A one-time financial benefit in the event of the death of a pensioner from a disease acquired during service.
What is the retirement age for retirement in the Ministry of Internal Affairs
The male half of the Ministry of Internal Affairs employees has the opportunity to continue serving after they reach retirement age, but women are not given this right.
As for the retirement age established for employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is:
- 45 years for women who have dedicated themselves to service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
- 50 years or more for men (the role played by the rank in which the employee resides - for example, lieutenant colonels have the right to retire at 55 years, colonels at 50, and generals at 60 years).
One-time additional payment of 10,000 rubles from the President
As the Kremlin press service reported on Tuesday, August 24, President Putin signed a decree on a one-time payment to military pensioners!
Copy of the Decree:
This decree provides such payments to pensioners:
- who served in the military,
- service in the internal affairs bodies,
- State Fire Service,
- authorities for control over the circulation of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances,
- institutions and bodies of the penal system,
- National Guard troops,
- enforcement authorities
ATTENTION! The payment will be made in September “on the basis of documents contained in the payment or pension file, without citizens filing an application.”
As for the size, we are talking about a one-time payment of 10 thousand rubles.
How to calculate the pension of employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
First, let’s determine what factors influence the calculation of pension payments to employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs:
- duration of work experience, half of which was spent in the Ministry of Internal Affairs (20 years of experience add 50% of additional payments, more than 20 years - 3% for each year, but not more than 85%, from 25 years - 50% + 1% for each year);
- salary amount;
- the employee's qualifications and rank;
- amount of bonus for length of service;
- receiving preferential bonus funds (if any).
Having dealt with the values, you need to add up all the indicators listed above, then multiply the result by the indexation indicator and the reduction factor.
Calculations based on the length of service of the Russian Guard
The pension for the Russian National Guard in 2021 is calculated using a calculator, and the reduction factor must be taken into account. Currently it is 0.7368 . When taking into account production when calculating a pension, you need to understand what percentage it will be of your salary. Half of the amount calculated above is equal to 21,970 rubles.
If a citizen has worked in the Russian Guard for 24 years, then for each year he adds 3%. In this case the calculation looks like this:
21970*0.03*4 = 2626.4 rubles.
For the final calculation you will need to add 21970 and 2636.4. The amount will be 24606.4 and multiplied by 0.7368. The final pension amount will be 17,773.2 rubles per month.
The National Guard pension calculator in 2021 can only be found on unofficial resources.
The official website does not contain calculation programs.
Pension amount for employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs: calculation formula
To make it easier to calculate the amount of your future pension, you can use the following formula:
REP = (SOZ + DZP + DVL) + 50% + 3% x VL x 54% + 2% annually (excluding indexation),
where REP is the amount of the monthly pension;
SOZ - the amount of monthly salary in accordance with the rank;
DZP – official salary;
DVL – additional payment for length of service;
VL – length of service itself.
The resulting pension payment will need to be multiplied by the indexation amount in the current year - this indicator constantly changes depending on the level of inflation.
Calculation formula
It is difficult to independently calculate the Ministry of Internal Affairs pension. Specialized websites have an online calculator that helps with calculations. It is necessary to take into account all payments due to the military personnel. The formula for calculating government subsidies looks like this - PP = KVL x VDD x RK x PC, where:
- PP – pension benefit for an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
- KVL – length of service coefficient, depending on the length of service of a citizen in the ranks of a given power structure, calculated as a percentage;
- VDD - the amount of monetary allowance, consisting of a military salary, all types of allowances, bonuses and additional payments;
- RK – regional coefficient used in pension calculations if a police officer lived and worked in the harsh conditions of the Far North (FN) and in territories equal to the FN in terms of climate severity;
- PC – reduction coefficient by 2021, taking into account indexation, amounting to 72.33%.
The amount of monetary allowance for a military personnel
If for an ordinary citizen one of the main criteria determining the amount of a pension is salary, the amount of which determines the accrual of pension points, then for a military man retiring, the basic indicator influencing the amount of future benefits is monetary allowance (hereinafter referred to as DD). It consists of the following elements:
- salary for the position held;
- accruals for the existing rank;
- other payments due for long service in hard service.
Other additional payments included in the DD include the following allowances:
- For years of service. Charges vary between 10–40% of the total DD amount.
- For having the required qualifications. They amount to 5–30% of the amount of payments for the position held.
- For activities related to classified data - up to 65% of official payments.
- When serving in difficult conditions associated with risks to health and life, conscientious performance of assigned duties - 100–300% of official accruals.
Percentage of additional payment for long service
The state rewards long service in difficult conditions. If dismissal from the Ministry of Internal Affairs occurs after 20 years of work, then a citizen applying for a special old-age benefit receives a 50% increase to the DD. If the work experience in a given law enforcement agency is over 20 years, then for each subsequent year an additional 3% is accrued. For example, if a police officer served for 21 years, then he is entitled to a 53% subsidy, for 22 years - a 56% surcharge, etc.
If a citizen has served for 25 or more years in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, then the allowances are calculated differently. To the 50% surcharge, 1% is added for each year spent at work in difficult conditions. The size of the future pension cannot increase indefinitely. It has been established that the upper limit of payments is an 85% premium to the DD, added when calculating state benefits.
Reduction factor
The economic crisis, budget deficit, and reforms of the pension system led to the introduction in 2012 of a special reduction coefficient, which is used in calculating state subsidies for military personnel. It initially amounted to 54% of the total DD amount. It is planned to gradually index this indicator and bring it to the level of 100% by 2034. By this period, the insurance base part of a police officer’s pension should be equal to the amount of salary. By 2021, this figure is 72.33%.

An example of calculating the pension of an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
An employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Semyonov receives an official salary of 12.5 thousand rubles, and another 8.5 thousand rubles according to rank. The length of service is 22 years. Semyonov receives a salary supplement of 30%, which is 6.3 thousand rubles. The indexation indicator for the current year is 62.12.
- Let's find the total amount of Semenov's earnings: 12.5 thousand + 8.5 thousand + 6.3 thousand = 27.3 thousand rubles.
- Let's take into account the allowance coefficient and the indexation indicator: 27.3 thousand x 0.56 x 62.12 = 9496 rubles . This will be Semenov’s pension if he leaves the service this year.

- Pavel K. 11/19/2016 at 11:21 I served in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for 12 years, 8 months and 23 days, then in the Federal Penitentiary Service for another 1 year, 5 months and 15 days, after which I resigned of my own free will and now work in a private security company. On the day of my dismissal I was 36 years old. I heard that upon reaching the age of 45 you can apply for a military pension. Is it so?
answerreaching the age limit established for the position held;
- due to deterioration of health (not related to the establishment of disability).
You will be able to retire only after reaching the age of 60, provided that you have pension rights to receive an old-age insurance pension.

Not so, you need to retire from the organs at 45 years old - this is a mandatory condition.

Irina, where in the legal regulations does it say that you need to resign from the authorities? Art. 13 of the law talks about the right to a pension, not about the mode of obtaining this right. The rest is a variation of the CPO (Ministry of Internal Affairs, etc.). They are fooling our brother and sister too.

How is conscript service taken into account when retiring from the Ministry of Internal Affairs based on length of service? The term of conscription service is 1 year 11 months and 20 days.
answer
- Sergey 11/24/2016 at 15:49
According to paragraph 5 of the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of September 22, 1993 No. 941, military service upon conscription, except for grace periods (participation in hostilities, being in captivity, liquidation of radiation and man-made accidents, unjustified criminal prosecution), is included in the length of service years in calendar terms.
When you retire, you will only have one full year of service credited to your seniority.

What, months and days are not calendar dates? You will be credited for the entire conscription service. And Sergei needs to learn the law.

There is no money in the country to index pensions for working pensioners. However, for working pensioners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, money is available for annual indexation and even for a second pension.

Now write this nonsense! The last time pensions for employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were increased by 30% was under candidate Yanukovych - in 2007, i.e. 10 years ago, and before that 5 years, Tymoshenko raised by 10%. So, in almost the last 10 years, the pension of employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who retired before 2007 has not increased by ONE kopeck. Now compare, for example, a pension of 2000 UAH. in 2007-2008, and the same 2000 UAH. in 2016-2017 Do you feel the difference? In reality, it decreased by at least 4 times.
Now calculate the inflation index for ten years, how much prices have increased, how much the utilities have increased... And keep in mind that utility benefits have been canceled retroactively for people who retired due to length of service, i.e. who served more than 20 years, but did not become service veterans, i.e. those who served 25 years or more, although they all had certificates issued by the state stating that they enjoyed benefits in the amount of 50% - FOR LIFE! Is this normal? At this rate, will the military pension soon be lower than the janitor's pension? This is fine?
Please note that not everyone in the service was grabbers and grabbers, many (the absolute majority) served HONESTLY! They thought that the state would also take care of them, as promised... But what happened and how? That’s it... So now those who serve today will think, and what awaits them tomorrow, will they not be treated the same as with their predecessors: while you serve - you NEED it, retired - goodbye, no obligations in practice, the state’s guarantees do not exist for you... Maybe this is the main reason for the greediness of so many of today’s law enforcement officers, who want to provide for themselves and their families in the future, otherwise suddenly tomorrow, after they finish their service, the state will again relieve itself of any obligations , which gave earlier?

Please clarify: what do Yanukovych and Tymoshenko have to do with it?! We are in Russia and we are talking about Russian pensioners, not Ukrainian ones.

For Elena! Pensioners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and other similar structures are not paid the entire due pension, but only a percentage of it, in 2012 - 54%, annually increased by 2-4%, in 2021 pensioners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs receive 72% of the required pensions, so this is not indexation, but a gradual increase to the due pension. And people are simply being fooled. As for the second pension, contributions to the Pension Fund received from the pensioner are divided by 20 years 12 months - and thus their money is returned. If, of course, he lives 20 years after retiring at 60!
Pension supplements for employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
Preferential allowances will be calculated based on the amount of the calculated pension, the status of the employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, his age and the presence of a family. The following supplements may be assigned to the long-service pension:

- upon receipt of I gr. disability after reaching 80 years of age - 100% surcharge;
- when participating in hostilities, a bonus of 32% , after turning 80 years old - 64% .
For the loss of a breadwinner
Pension provision for the loss of a breadwinner is provided if the breadwinner, an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, died/died while serving, either within three months after dismissal, or at any time after dismissal due to illness or injury received in the service. In this situation, the right to pension assistance is given to his disabled relatives who were in the care of the deceased. These are children in full-time education up to 23 years of age; disabled people; pensioners - parents, spouse; a relative who is raising the children/brothers/grandchildren of the deceased. These include:

Common mistakes
Error: An employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs applied to the Pension Fund for a pension and did not submit a report on retirement.
Comment: If an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs wishes to retire, he must submit a report to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs indicating personal data, reasons for dismissal and the type of pension assigned.

In addition, a former employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs must be aged 60 years or older and receive a previously assigned pension.
Legal basis
The pension legislation of our country contains a list of regulations governing the provision to employees of law enforcement agencies of the opportunity to receive a pension based on mixed length of service.
This issue is regulated by:
- Federal Law of the Russian Federation number 4468;
- Federal Law of the Russian Federation number 166;
- Federal Law of the Russian Federation number 247;
- Resolutions of the Government and the Council of Ministers No. 941 and 1237;
- Acts of individual ministries and departments.
The structure of the ministry employs a large number of people, who can be divided into two unequal parts:
- civilian workers who do not have military ranks or positions;
- military personnel with military rank.
The first category of employees can retire only on a general basis. They are subject to the same provisions of pension law as most citizens. This also applies to retirement age.
Ministry employees with military ranks are entitled to the following types of pensions:
- for disability – provided when an employee receives injuries or injuries during the performance of official duties;
- for the loss of a breadwinner - assigned to the family of an employee who died while on duty;
- by length of service - employees with the required length of service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are entitled to a pension for length of service;
- according to mixed experience.
Selection criteria
Mixed length of service for a pension is a list of all the work activities of a particular person in different positions in different organizations. The Ministry of Internal Affairs pension for mixed service is assigned according to extremely strict regulations, which list all possible reasons for refusal to provide it.
There are quite a lot of the latter and they are a serious obstacle for the majority of ministry employees applying for this type of pension provision. Only full compliance with all criteria guarantees a positive consideration of the application by the fund’s staff.
If an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs worked in various organizations, then a mixed pension for an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is assigned if the following criteria are met:
- reaching the age of forty-five;
- total experience is twenty-five years;
- time of work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs - from twelve and a half years.
To receive this type of pension provision, all three of these criteria must be met.
How is mixed length of service in the police considered?
If a person has worked for twenty years in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, then he receives the right to a long-service pension. Otherwise, you can try to retire using mixed service.
However, it must be taken into account that only persons in military service are entitled to the latter form of support. If an employee has a certain period of service as a military personnel, but at the time of submitting an application for this type of pension provision is a civilian, then he will inevitably be refused.
Mixed experience includes:
- time spent in a territory where there are no conditions for employment;
- service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
- working in the ministry as a civilian.
In addition to the specified pension provision, there is special support for pensioners from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, provided by the Ministry of Defense. The following may apply for it:
employees of criminal correctional institutions;
- fire service employees;
- employees of organizations whose activities are aimed at combating drug trafficking;
- employees of the Ministry of Defense;
- police officers.
Required documents
Documents for retirement based on mixed length of service:
- Statement of the established form.
- Identity document.
- Social Security Certificate.
- Salary certificate for five years.
- Certificate of duration of military service.
- Application indicating the method of receiving a pension.
After submitting the package of documents, verification of the provided data begins. Based on its results, a decision is made on the appointment of one or another type of pension provision.
To determine the possibility of retirement based on mixed length of service, you need to calculate all available length of service and add to it length of service in other organizations. After this, you should make sure that you are not subject to any restrictions specified by law. After this, you can collect a package of documents and contact the Pension Fund office at your place of residence.

Answers to common questions about how to calculate pensions for employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
Question No. 1: In the conditions for receiving a pension for employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is stated that the total length of service must be at least 25 years. Does this mean that it is necessary to serve in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the entire specified period?
Answer: No, work experience directly in law enforcement agencies must be 12 and a half years.
Question No. 2: Is it possible for the relatives of a deceased employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to receive his pension?

- document on the results of the investigation into the causes of death;
- conclusion of a military medical examination;

- documentary evidence of relationship with the deceased.
Ways to receive a mixed pension
Today, former military personnel can receive a mixed pension through several main options:
- Using a bank card, the details of which were indicated at the time of writing the application for a double pension allowance. This method of receiving funds is preferable because of its convenience, as well as the possibility of receiving SMS notifications upon transfer of money to a personal account.
- With the involvement of services operating in post offices of the Russian Federation. The advantage of this method is the possibility of receiving a pension delivered to your home.
- With the help of a courier company, with which the pensioner enters into an agreement for the delivery of insurance subsidies “to the doorstep of the house.”
- With the involvement of third parties who have a power of attorney from the pensioner to perform the relevant actions.
