What are the child benefits. Child benefits
In 2017, the amounts of cash payments, compensations and benefits increased by 5.4%. The Government Decree on their increase came into force on 02/01/2017. The reason for the increase in payments is inflation, which reduced the real incomes of Russians in 2016. The resolution, however, does not affect indexing in any way. maternity capital. Its dimensions will remain unchanged until 2020 - that is how long the law on freezing is in effect.
Regional authorities do not lag behind the Government - they also use a system of benefits and additional cash payments to families with children. approach in each Russian region differs, which determines the amount of child allowances and compensations.
Table of child benefits in 2017
Several factors affect the amount of child benefits:
- different standard of living in the regions;
- difference in cost consumer basket;
- different social policies of regional authorities.

Coefficients that increase the amount of benefits and compensations
The Labor Code of the Russian Federation guarantees an increased coefficient when paying wages citizens who work in regions with a difficult climate. Also, the coefficient is used when calculating the amount of social insurance, if at the place of work it is for reporting period was not taken into account.
According to Law No. 81-FZ of May 19, 1995, regional wage coefficients that were established in certain regions Russian Federation, before today are used when calculating the amount of social payments to employees with children, in the following cases:
- payment of benefits established for the next year in fixed amount, as well as in the current minimum or maximum amount;
- calculation of benefits social insurance provided that at the time of payment of wages for billing period they were not counted at the place of work.
However, since 2015, the issue of abolishing all used regional coefficients has been actively discussed. The Government considers them a relic of the past. Here is what Maxim Topilin, Minister of Labor and Social Protection, thinks about this issue:
“The situation in the economy has changed dramatically. At the moment, the increased ratio only causes unnecessary problems for employers' accountants. It should be understood that the system for accruing payments has changed a lot since the days of the USSR. That is why the “northern allowance” is just a leftover unnecessary formality.”
At the moment, it is still difficult to predict what development the consideration of this issue in the State Duma will take.
Sizes of child benefits from the Social Insurance Fund
The Russian social insurance system guarantees child benefits to women in connection with motherhood and due to temporary disability. What and what do the amounts of child benefits from the Social Insurance Fund depend on?
Their exact amount depends on the average income from which financial contributions were made to the insurance fund.
Compensation for childbirth and pregnancy
Its amount is equal to the woman's income for the previous 2 years. In 2017, the minimum payout amount is 34520.55, the maximum amount is 265827.63. The duration of sick leave as of this year is 140 days.
Maternity allowance
One-time assistance at the birth of a child is 16,350.33 rubles. This amount is paid to one of the parents, or to a person replacing him. It is calculated as working - in the form compulsory social insurance, and non-working citizens in the form of state social security.
To assign a one-time payment at the birth of a child, one of the parents must submit documents for the provision of benefits no later than six months after the birth of the child. If twins or triplets are born, the payment is provided for each child.
Allowance for the care of a child up to one and a half years
Paid monthly until the child reaches the age of one and a half years. The exact amount of compensation depends on the number of children in the family. If the child is alone, the payment is equal to 40% of the woman's monthly salary. If two - 80%, if three or more - 100%, which is the limit. The amount of cash payments for each child - no more than 23120.66.
The remaining compensations paid at the place of work and related to the birth of a child are accrued in the prescribed amount.
Additional accrual to the maternity and pregnancy allowance
Paid to women who were registered in antenatal clinic up to twelve weeks of gestation. This payment is provided by the employer when a woman goes on maternity leave (together with maternity allowance), at the place of study, or at the social security service at the place of residence.
Child benefits and benefits, as well as the cost of living in 2017
Payment amounts, which are set as federal authorities, and regional, directly depend on living wage on a child. At the same time, both the average indicator for the Russian Federation and a separate indicator for each region are taken into account.
Today, the living wage established on 01.12.2016 remains relevant. According to the government decree, the minimum for an adult is 9889 rubles, for a child - 9668.
Certain conclusions can be drawn by evaluating the amounts of child benefits indicated in the table above and the subsistence minimum. Here are some of them:
- Childbirth allowance, payments for caring for him up to 1.5 years, as well as maternity capital - a significant and tangible assistance for family budget. These sums really help parents to support and bring up children at the first stages of their life.
- Large families with children under 3 years old are entitled to a monthly allowance. It is paid from the regional budget and corresponds to the subsistence minimum for each child. Low-income families are eligible to receive compensation.
- There are also very insignificant payments in the list of benefits that bring practically no benefit to families. It's about about monthly payments for a child, as well as assistance to women registered in a consultation in the early stages of pregnancy. In this context, one cannot fail to recall also compensation for parents on parental leave. Its size is only 50 rubles per month.
Even taking into account some negative points, it can be noted that over the past ten years, state support for families with children has become more significant. And if we compare the current situation with the 90s, the difference is simply colossal.
Maternity capital for the second child in 2017
This year, the system for calculating benefits for the second child has been changed. Still, these payments have three main purposes:
- Housing. It will be possible to use the accrued money not only to pay the first installment, but also interest on the mortgage.
- Child education. For the capital received, you can create a separate bank account, the money from which will be used to pay for tuition in the future. Some media outlets claim that foreign educational institutions will also be available.
- Pension. Payments can be accumulated on bank account mother. Subsequently, this capital will be used to help parents when they reach retirement age.
This year, this list has been replenished with one more item - the maintenance of a sick child. The accrued funds can be spent on the purchase of medicines, procedures and rehabilitation activities for a disabled child.
There are also plans to introduce another option for targeted spending of the funds received. It's about buying a new car. By bringing such an initiative to life, its creators expect to achieve two goals. The first is assistance in acquiring vehicle young families. The second is assistance to the domestic automaker.
The main change affects the very essence of maternity capital. Since 2017, the entire family has been the recipient of the money. Now the father can also apply for the funds. Note that the second child himself can also receive a full right to payments. This happens if the mother and father were deprived of parental rights.
Amount of payments for the second child
This year, the maternity capital for the second child is 453,026 rubles. This figure may rise in the coming years. The position of the State Duma is as follows: the amounts of payments will be increased when the budget stabilizes, and its revenue side increases. Some of the money for the second child can be withdrawn in cash. It is 20 thousand rubles. This sum of money can be spent on the current basic needs of the baby: a crib, diapers, clothes, medicines, and more.
The regions also have their own family support programs. The money received thanks to them can most often be spent at your discretion, without targeted spending.
Indexation of child benefits
In 2008 Russian Government A procedure for indexing all child allowances was established. When recalculating the amounts of payments, the forecast level of inflation in the state was taken into account, which was determined in the budget for each fiscal year. Indexation made it possible to completely or partially avoid the reduction in the importance of benefits for families, given the annual increase in prices for goods and services.
This indexation option has one big drawback: actual inflation always exceeds the forecast level. At the same time, we consider the actual inflation as the indicator determined by Rosstat, which, as a rule, is underestimated.
Let's take 2015 as an example. Maternity capital and the amount of payments per child after indexation increased by 5.5%. The year ended with an inflation rate of 12.9%. Thus, the real purchasing power of these benefits fell by 7% in just one year.
According to current laws Russian Federation, additional indexation of payments is carried out only when the parameters of the main budget of the country are revised. Such a procedure is carried out extremely rarely and only in the event of a serious financial crisis.
Moreover, the revision of budget parameters is not a guarantee of additional indexation. In 2015, the Government adopted new edition budget law. The document featured an inflation rate of 12.2%. This figure reflected the real state of affairs in the country, which cannot be said about the previous indicator - 5.5%. However, in the same year, a law was passed to suspend the indexation of child benefits and maternity capital.
As a compensation, since 2016, the procedure for recalculating the amounts of payments has changed. As for pensions, indexation for child benefits, according to the law, is carried out taking into account actual inflation in the state, and not forecasted. In each year, indexation should be carried out taking into account the inflation of the previous financial year.
Anton Siluanov, head of the Ministry of Finance, said the following about this: “ Economic situation deteriorated in the country. The indexation of benefits, taking into account the forecast inflation, must be removed.”
There were no radical proposals. There are ideas in the State Duma to move away from the practice of indexing payments for inflation altogether. Instead, it is proposed to recalculate all benefits and compensations solely at the discretion of the Government. In this case, no "bindings" work. The specific amounts of benefits and compensations depend on the budgetary reserves of the state.
From January in Moscow, the size of the city standard for non-working pensioners as well as a range of social benefits. the site tells how much social support will grow in the capital and who will receive increased payments.
Sergei Sobyanin called social support for Muscovites a priority for the coming years. Pensions, benefits, assistance to large and low-income families are just a few of the areas for which a significant part of the city's money will be spent from January 1, 2018. First of all, the increase will affect those who need social support more than others.
The amount of increase in payments was determined taking into account the opinion of the residents of the capital. What measures should be taken to improve the lives of Muscovites, Sergei Sobyanin discussed during meetings with pensioners, veterans, large families, single mothers and parents of disabled children. Proposals were made by the Moscow City Council of Veterans, representatives of large families and others public organizations. The Mayor of Moscow included in the draft budget precisely those proposals that were voiced at these meetings.
Help for pensioners and veterans
In Moscow, the minimum pension will increase. The mayor of Moscow supported the proposal of the Council of Veterans to raise it immediately by three thousand rubles. The city social standard will amount to 17,500 rubles. Already at the end of December, almost 1.4 million citizens will receive an increase in their pensions.
“If we take the last seven years, we started with 10 thousand rubles. Now there are already 17.5 thousand. That is, we annually increase the size of this minimum pension by almost a thousand rubles. And in the future we will try to raise it as much as possible,” said Sergei Sobyanin.
Monthly compensation for labor veterans, home front workers and victims of political repression will more than double from 2018.
In addition, city allowances for veterans participating in the defense of Moscow will be doubled. They will be paid monthly eight thousand rubles instead of four thousand.
Additional compensations are provided for capital centenarians. A lump sum of 15,000 rubles will be given to those who turn 101 or older next year. Married couples on the occasion of anniversaries will also receive lump sum cash payments. Those who celebrated the 50th anniversary of living together will receive 20 thousand rubles (in 2017 the amount of payment was 10 thousand rubles), the 55th and 60th anniversary - 25 thousand (in 2017 - 11 thousand and 12 thousand rubles, respectively), the 65th anniversary and 70th anniversary - 30 thousand (in 2017 - 13 thousand and 15 thousand rubles, respectively).
Monthly compensations to pensioners will be doubled in exchange for free travel on public transport, as well as commuter trains.
Support for low-income and large families
The amount of child benefits for low-income families will increase from three to 6.25 times. The increase in these payments will affect almost 300,000 young Muscovites. Almost five times - the monthly allowance for a child will increase for low-income families with children under three years old - up to 10 thousand rubles (in 2017 - two thousand rubles).
Payments to low-income single mothers and fathers, military personnel who are conscripted for a child under three years old will be increased to 15 thousand rubles, and the amount of benefits for children over three years old and benefits large families and families raising disabled children will double in number. Monthly assistance for caring for a disabled child under the age of 18 or a disabled child under the age of 23 will amount to 12,000 rubles (6,000 rubles in 2017). The same amount will be paid for a child under the age of 18 living in a family in which both or the only parent do not work and are disabled of group I or II.
For large families with five or more children, the city will also increase monthly payments for the purchase of children's clothing, housing, utilities, telephone communication. Increased payments are also waiting for parents on the International Day of the Family and the Day of Knowledge.
In the Moscow budget, the growth of social spending is two times faster than the growth of other items. It is planned to allocate 430 billion rubles for social needs in 2018. Part of these funds will go to raise salaries for social workers.
From 2011 to 2017 budget spending on the social sphere Moscow has already been increased almost twice. At the same time, the targeting of benefits was strengthened. For example, spending on subsidies and benefits for paying for housing and communal services has tripled, nine times on providing food and clothing assistance to the poor, and five times on providing disabled people with technical means of rehabilitation.
At the same time, a system of benefits for paying contributions to overhaul, which covered about four million Muscovites. As part of the land public transport reform, beneficiaries received the right to free travel in commercial buses.

New allowance |
As you know, "children" are benefits that are accrued upon the birth of a child. As stated in the “On State Benefits for Citizens with Children”, child benefits include:
- allowance for contacting a consultation and registration at an early stage of pregnancy (up to 12 weeks);
- a one-time allowance at the birth of a child (on the basis of a certificate from the maternity hospital);
- monthly allowance for caring for a child up to the age of 1.5 years;
- maternity allowance (payment sick leave);
A woman who has given birth to a child receives all the listed benefits from the employer. Everyone needs to know the principle of accrual, as well as the upper and lower levels of child benefits - both managers and mothers themselves.
Increasing child benefits in 2019
It must be remembered that from January 1, 2019, the minimum wage was increased to 11,280 rubles, which affected all types of benefits.
This year, "children's" benefits, according to , have increased since February 1, 2019 - by a factor of 1.043. This means that in January benefits remained at the same level, and changed only in February.
And now - attention: look at how benefits have changed at the beginning of 2019:
- Allowance for registration up to 12 weeks: from January 1, 2019, a woman received - 628.47 rubles, from February 1, 2019 she began to receive - 628.47 rubles. × 1.043 = 655.49 rubles.
This allowance is paid only once. It is for women who:
- registered with medical institutions up to 12 weeks of pregnancy and provided a relevant certificate;
- are entitled to maternity benefits ().
If a certificate of registration is provided later than 12 weeks, then the allowance is paid within ten days after the grant, provided that the application for the allowance followed no later than 6 months after the end of the maternity leave ().
- Lump sum at the birth of a child: from January 1, 2019, a woman received - 16,759.09 rubles, from February 1, 2019 she began to receive - 16,759.09 rubles. × 1.043 = 17,479.73 rubles
- The minimum monthly allowance for caring for a second child and subsequent children up to 1.5 years old: from January 1, 2019, a woman received - 6,284.65 rubles, from February 1, 2019 she began to receive - 6,284.65 rubles. × 1.043 = 6,554.89 rubles
- Monthly allowance for caring for a child up to the age of 1.5 years: depends on the minimum wage. If average earnings per month does not exceed the minimum wage, then the allowance is calculated in the amount of 40% of the minimum wage. It is worth considering that from January 1, 2019, the minimum wage increased to 11,280 rubles, as a result of which the minimum amount benefits for the care of the first child. Now it is 11,280 rubles. × 40% = 4,512 rubles.
For 2019, the maximum monthly allowance for child care is 26,152.33 rubles. (maximum possible average earnings 65,380.82 rubles × 40%).
Note that when calculating this allowance, certain criteria have been legislatively developed, their levels in 2019 are as follows:
- at the birth of the first child, the lower criterion - from January 1, 2019 was 3,142.33 rubles, from February 1, 2019 it is 3,277.45 rubles.
- at the birth of a second and subsequent child, the lower criterion - from January 1, 2019 was 6,284.65 rubles, from February 1, 2019 it is 6,554.89 rubles.
- the upper criterion for employees - from January 1, 2019 - 26,152.27 rubles, from February 1, 2019 - has not changed and also amounts to 26,152.27 rubles.
5. Payment for pregnancy and childbirth ("maternity"): the basis for it is the sick leave submitted by the woman from medical institution, and the calculation is made on the basis of real earnings for a period of time in the previous two years (that is, 2018 and 2017).
The amount of benefits is calculated from the number of days of sick leave. They are valid from January 1, 2019. The February indexation did not affect them.
Minimum size for employed women:
- RUB 51,919 - with a standard vacation duration (140 days);
- RUB 57,852.6 - in case of premature birth (156 days of vacation);
- RUB 71,944.9 - with multiple pregnancy (194 days of vacation)
Maximum allowance for working women:
- RUB 301,095.02 - with a standard duration of the decree (140 days);
- RUB 335,506.08 - for 156 days of vacation;
- RUB 417,231.92 – in case of multiple pregnancy (194 vacation days)
The above allowance is paid to women once upon presentation of sick leave.
Maternity leave of a woman and the calculation of its payment
The rules for calculating maternity leave in 2019 have not changed: as before, you need to take into account the employee’s income for the previous two years, and the salary is taken in full, with personal income tax.
To calculate the benefit, the annual amount of income must not exceed the maximum value of the base for paying contributions to the FSS:
- RUB 718,000 - in 2017;
- RUB 755,000 - in 2018;
- RUB 815,000 - in 2019.
To calculate the amount of an employee's actual average daily earnings, use the formula:
Average daily earnings= Earnings for the previous 2 years / Actual number of calendar days in the billing period - Number of days excluded from the billing period
When using the formula, keep in mind that:
- for calculation, earnings for the previous two years are taken, which are subject to contributions;
- there are 731 days in a leap year, therefore, the actual number of calendar days in the billing period can be 730 days, 731 days and 732 days (if both years turn out to be leap years when changing years of choice). However, 2017 and 2018 are "normal" non-leap years.
So, the lower limit of daily earnings for calculating maternity leave in 2019 is 370.85 rubles.
And the upper limit of daily earnings is 2,150.68 rubles. Calculated according to the formula: (755,000 rubles + 815,000 rubles): 730 days, where 755,000 rubles. - the maximum earnings from which the allowance is calculated in 2017; and 815,000 rubles. - the maximum earnings from which the allowance is calculated in 2018.
In 2019, the maximum maternity benefit will be calculated as follows:
- with normal childbirth: 2150.68 rubles × 140 days = 301,095.20 rubles;
- with complicated childbirth: 2150.68 rubles. × 156 days = 335,506.08 rubles;
- with complicated multiple births: 2150.68 rubles. × 194 days = 417,231.92 rubles
The benefit is paid at a rate of 100% regardless of insurance experience workers, but on condition that it exceeds 6 months.
It happens that in the billing period a woman was already on maternity or parental leave. Then the corresponding calendar years can be replaced by previous calendar years at her request, if this "replacement" will increase the amount of benefits ().
The minimum amount of maternity
As you know, the minimum amount of maternity pay directly depends on the size of the minimum wage. Since from January 1 of this year the minimum wage has increased to 11,280 rubles, then you need to calculate the minimum average earnings as follows: 11,280 rubles. × 24 months / 730 days = RUB 370.85
Do not forget that earlier, in 2018, the minimum wage changed several times and amounted to: from January 1 to April 30, 2018 - 9,489 rubles, and from May 1 to December 31, 2018 - 11,163 rubles.
The minimum maternity allowance is for those whose insurance period does not reach 6 months, who had earnings below the minimum or had no earnings at all in the billing period.
Now let's calculate the minimum maternity benefit from February 2019:
- with a sick leave duration of 140 days: 370.85 rubles. × 140 days = 51,919 rubles;
- with a sick leave duration of 156 days: 370.85 rubles. × 156 days = 57,852.60 rubles;
- with a sick leave duration of 194 days: 370.85 rubles. × 194 days = RUB 71,944.90
Do I need to recalculate the allowance up to 1.5 years?
This question can be answered unequivocally - no. General rule states: the benefit for caring for a child under 1.5 years old is assigned once and only on the start date of the vacation.
The allowance will need to be recalculated if, after February 1, 2019, the employee left the parental leave for at least one day and then went on vacation again. This time she will leave with a new calculation.
Plans to increase child care allowance
From 2020, the allowance for caring for a child aged 1.5 to 3 years will be significantly increased. At least such intentions were announced by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. Now women on maternity leave after the child reaches the age of 1.5 years receive a monthly payment of 50 rubles.
Officials believe that the allowance should not just be increased - it should be targeted, that is, paid to those who need it.
Also, according to Medvedev, the issue of increasing the period counted in the length of service needs additional discussion. maternity leave from 1.5 to 3 years. First of all, it is necessary to weigh both the financial and social aspects of this idea, he noted.
Maternity capital in 2019
The amount of maternity capital for the second child this year has not changed and amounted to 453,026 rubles. The last increase in the certificate took place four years ago, and since then the amount has not changed.
The next indexation of maternity capital is planned only from January 1, 2020 - up to 470,241 rubles. And herself federal program will be valid until at least the end of 2021.
What changed:
- Signed, which changed the period for the Pension Fund to make a decision on issuing a certificate - from 1 month to 15 days.
- Previously, maternity capital was allowed to be spent on preschool education of a child, that is, now there is no need to wait until he is three years old. And for the second child born after January 1, 2018, it is allowed to issue a monthly cash benefit from maternity capital.
The other day, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev approved an initiative to use maternity capital funds for the construction of a residential building for permanent residence on suburban area(that is, it must be a capital structure). According to him, it is necessary to change the relevant norms and allow the spending of maternity capital for these purposes.
Maternity Calculator
You can easily and free of charge calculate the amount of payments using a special maternity calculator. Just fill in the form with the data from the sick leave or information about the child and the duration of the vacation, indicate the employee's earnings for the last two years (or previous years - if replacing years) - and find out the amount of the benefit. If there is district coefficient, do not forget to mark it in the maternity calculator.
IN last years indexation of federal payments per child is carried out annually from February 1, based on last year's inflation rate. Thus, in 2017, state benefits for families with children will increase in proportion to the inflation rate determined at the end of 2016. The only exception is the amount of maternity capital, the amount of which will not change and will again amount to 453,026 rubles.
According to the federal law, signed by the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin on December 19, 2016:
Inflation in 2016 is expected at the level of 5.4%(this inflation value is confirmed by Rosstat).
Based on this, state benefits from February 1, 2017 will be indexed from coefficient 1.054 compared to the previous year - with the exception of maternity capital, the amount of which will remain unchanged in the amount of 453,026 rubles until 2020.

The following eight regions have passed the required birth rate threshold (national average):
- republics of Crimea, Komi, Chuvash and Mari El;
- Khabarovsk and Kamchatka Territories;

In these constituent entities of the Russian Federation, payment at birth or adoption in 2017 of the third or subsequent children will not be appointed. However, despite this, the social security authorities will continue to transfer benefits for children born in 2014, 2015 and 2016 - since, according to government decree of October 5, 2016 No. these three-year-old children.
The amount of maternity capital in 2017 for the second child
On the basis of federal law No. 433-FZ of December 30, 2015, the maternity capital program was extended until December 31, 2018. However, it will not be indexed in 2017, as in the previous one. The size of the certificate remains the same - 453 thousand 26 rubles.
Despite the fact that in 2016 the size of the certificate did not increase, its holders could issue until November 30 lump sum payment, which amounted to 25 thousand rubles. It is expected that in 2017 families with children will be given the opportunity to re-receive the payment in connection with the continuation of the crisis.
In addition to the lump sum, the main four areas of implementation Money certificates remain the same:

From January 1, 2017, the minimum wage remained at 7,500 rubles. However, despite this, since January 1, there have been changes in the calculation of some "children's" benefits. How to calculate "children's" benefits from January 1, 2017? What is the amount of benefits from January 1, 2017? Has the amount of the child care allowance changed? In what amounts will the FSS reimburse "children's" benefits from January 1? You will find answers to these and other questions related to child benefits, as well as a table with new sizes, in this article.
Types of "children's" benefits
It is customary to include payments related to the birth of children to "children's" benefits. The list of "children's" benefits is given in Federal Law No. 81-FZ of May 19, 1995 "On State Benefits for Citizens with Children"
- benefits for registration in early pregnancy;
- a one-time allowance for the birth of a child;
- monthly allowance for child care up to 1.5 years;
- benefits for pregnancy and childbirth.
These benefits are paid by the employer. However, we note that in some regions of the Russian Federation a pilot experiment is being carried out to pay benefits directly from the FSS budget. FSS units in the pilot regions themselves accrue and pay "children's" benefits to employees. Cm. " ".
If the organization or individual entrepreneur has employees to whom he is obliged to pay child benefits, then the employer should know the amount of child benefits from January 1, 2017.
Indexation of benefits from January 1, 2017
There will be no indexation of "children's" benefits from January 1, 2017, since legislators did not provide for a coefficient for such indexation. However, payments for children will be indexed from February 1, 2017, taking into account the index consumer prices for 2016. In this regard, from January 1 to February 1, 2017, "children's" benefits should be paid in the same amounts as in 2016. Let us summarize the amounts of "children's" benefits in the table from January 2017. These dimensions have not changed.
However, some changes in the amount of benefits from January 1, 2017, nevertheless, will occur. We will tell about them further.
Monthly allowance for caring for a child up to 1.5 years
So, we talked about the minimum amount of the monthly allowance for caring for a child up to 1.5 years old (see table). The minimum size has not changed since January 1, 2017. This allowance is not limited to a maximum amount. However, the amount of the average daily earnings from which the child care allowance is calculated is limited.
The legislation provides that the average daily earnings for calculating benefits cannot exceed the sum of the marginal values of the base for calculating insurance premiums for the two years preceding the year of parental leave, divided by 730 (part 3.3 of article 14 of the Federal Law of 29.12. 2006 No. 255-FZ). Therefore, in order to determine the maximum amount of average daily earnings, the following formula is used:
Therefore, if maternity leave begins in 2017, it is necessary to take into account the values of the base limits for calculating contributions to the FSS for 2015 and 2016 in calculations. Recall that in 2015 the maximum value of the base 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).
Taking into account the new values for the marginal base, in 2017 the maximum value of the average daily earnings for calculating benefits is 1901.37 rubles (670,000 rubles + 718,000 rubles) / 730. Note that the exact value is 1901.3698630136 rubles, however in further calculations we will use 1901.37 rubles.
Next, we calculate the maximum amount of average earnings for the whole month. For these purposes, it is required to multiply the average daily earnings by the average monthly number of calendar days equal to 30.4 (part 5.1 of article 14 of Law No. 255-FZ). In total, in 2017, the maximum amount of average monthly earnings for calculating benefits will be 57,801.64 rubles. (1901.37 rubles × 30.4).
Example. Since January 16, 2017, the employee of Zoology LLC Odinokov A.S. goes on parental leave. The billing period is 2015 and 2016. In 2016, a woman was on sick leave for 25 calendar days, and on maternity leave for 124 days.
Salary for 2015 - 350,000 rubles, for 2016 - 240,000 rubles. The number of days in the billing period - 582 days. (365 + 366 - 25 - 124). Average daily earnings - 1013.745704 rubles. ((350,000 rubles + 240,000 rubles) / 582 days).
Therefore, the monthly allowance for child care is 12,327.15 rubles. (1013.745704 rubles × 40% × 30.4 days).
When the allowance for caring for a child under 1.5 years old needs to be recalculated
Some accountants may have a question about whether, from January 1, 2017, it is necessary to recalculate already assigned benefits for caring for a child up to 1.5 years old. The answer is no. Nothing needs to be reviewed. The fact is that, as a general rule, the benefit for caring for a child up to 1.5 years old is considered once - on the date the parental leave begins. Therefore, if the allowance was assigned in 2016, then the allowance for those months of vacation that fall in 2017 should not be reviewed. That is, in 2017, you need to pay the monthly benefit amount that was calculated in 2016.
However, keep in mind that there may be a situation where you may need to change the amount of the allowance determined in 2016. This can happen if a person interrupts parental leave for up to 1.5 years, and in 2017 takes the same leave again. And then the amount of the child care allowance will need to be calculated based on the new values. The fact is that the childcare allowance is also calculated from the average earnings calculated for the two calendar years preceding the year the parental leave began (part 1, article 14 of Law No. 255-FZ). Therefore, if a new vacation is issued in 2017, the new billing period should be taken into account: 2015 and 2016 (if the employee does not exercise the right to postpone the billing period). As a result, the benefit amount may differ from what was previously paid. Let's take an example.
Maternity benefit from January 1, 2017
The maternity benefit paid by employers is not indexed annually. However, the benefit cap will increase from 1 January 2017 as the accountant will need to take into account the new average daily earnings cap when calculating the benefit.
Recall that the maternity benefit is paid at a time and in total for the entire period of maternity leave, which is (part 1 of article 10 of Law No. 255-FZ):
- 140 days (generally);
- 194 days (with multiple pregnancy);
- 156 days (with complicated childbirth).
Maximum Benefit
For calculation maximum amount maternity allowance from January 2017, you need to take into account the maximum amount of average daily earnings. It is calculated according to the same formula as when calculating the allowance for caring for a child up to 1.5 years old (part 3.3 of article 14 of Law No. 255-FZ). That is, in 2017 it will also amount to 1,901.37 rubles (670,000 rubles + 718,000 rubles) / 730.
So in 2017 maximum dimensions maternity benefits reimbursed from the FSS will change and amount to:
- 266,191.8 rubles (1901.37 rubles × 140 days) - in the general case;
- 368,865.78 rubles (1901.37 rubles × 194 days) - with multiple pregnancy;
- 296,613.72 rubles (1901.37 rubles × 156 days) - with complicated childbirth.
Minimum Benefit
When calculating the maternity benefit, the average daily earnings cannot be less than the amount determined by the following formula (part 1.1 of article 14 of Law No. 255-FZ):
Since January 1, 2017, the federal minimum wage has not changed and remained at the rate of 7,500 rubles. Cm. " ". Therefore, if maternity leave begins in 2017, the minimum average daily earnings for calculating maternity benefits will be 246.58 rubles (7500 rubles × 24 / 730). This value is used for further calculation if it turned out to be more than the actual average daily earnings of the worker. Minimum dimensions maternity benefits in January 2017 are as follows:
- 34,521.20 rubles (246.58 rubles × 140 days) - in the general case;
- 47,835.62 rubles (246.58 rubles x 194 days) - with multiple pregnancy;
- RUB 38,465.75 (246.58 rubles x 156 days) - with complicated childbirth.
