What are the children's benefits. Children's benefits
In 2017, the amount of cash payments, compensations and benefits increased by 5.4%. The Government Decision on their increase came into force 02/01/2017. The reason for the increase in payments is inflation, which reduced the real incomes of Russians in 2016. The decision, however, does not affect the indexation of maternity capital. Its dimensions will remain unchanged until 2020 - this is how much the freezing law 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. The approach in each Russian region is different, which forms the size of children's allowances and compensations.
Table of allowances for children in 2017
The size of child benefits is influenced by several factors:
- different living standards in the regions;
- the difference in the cost of the consumer basket;
- different social policies of regional authorities.

Odds that increase benefits and compensation
The Labor Code of the Russian Federation guarantees an increased coefficient in the payment of wages to citizens who work in regions with difficult climates. The coefficient is also used in calculating the amount of social insurance, if it was not taken into account at the place of work for the reporting period.
According to the law No. 81-ФЗ dated May 19, 1995, district wage coefficients, which were established in certain regions of the Russian Federation, are still used in calculating the amount of social benefits for workers with children in the following cases:
- payment of benefits established for the next year in a fixed amount, as well as in the current minimum or maximum amount;
- calculation of social insurance benefits, provided that during the payment of wages for the settlement period they were not taken into account at the place of work.
However, since 2015, the issue of canceling all used regional coefficients has been actively discussed. The Government considers them a relic of the past. Here is what Maxim Topilin, the Minister of Labor and Social Security, thinks on this issue:
“The situation in the economy has changed dramatically. At the moment, an increased ratio only causes unnecessary problems for employers' accountants. It should be understood that the payroll system has changed a lot since the days of the USSR. That is why the "northern allowance" is just the remaining unnecessary formality. "
At the moment, it is 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 because of temporary disability. What and what depends on the size of child benefits from the Social Insurance Fund?
Their exact amount depends on the average income from which financial contributions to the insurance fund were made.
Maternity and Pregnancy Compensation
Her amount is equal to the woman’s income for the previous 2 years. In 2017, the minimum payment 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 16350.33 rubles. This amount is paid to one of the parents or to a person replacing him. It is charged both for working people - in the form of compulsory social insurance, and for non-working citizens in the form of state social security.
To assign a one-time payment at birth, 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, payment is provided for each child.
Childcare allowance for children under one and a half years
It is 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 single, the payment is 40% of the woman’s monthly salary. If two - 80%, if three or more - 100%, which is the limit indicator. The amount of cash payments for each child is no more than 23120.66.
The remaining compensations paid at the place of work and related to the birth of the child are accrued in the prescribed amount.
Additional accrual to maternity allowance
It is paid to women who have been registered in the antenatal clinic for a gestation period of up to twelve weeks. This payment is provided by the employer when the woman goes on maternity leave (together with maternity allowance), at the place of study, or in the social protection service of the population at the place of residence.
Children's payments and benefits, as well as the cost of living in 2017
The amounts of payments established by both the federal and regional authorities directly depend on the cost of living per child. This takes into account both the average indicator for the Russian Federation and a separate one for each region.
Today, the cost of living established on 12/01/2016 remains relevant. According to the Government decree, the minimum for an adult is 9889 rubles, for a child - 9668.
We can draw certain conclusions by evaluating the amount of child benefits indicated in the table above and the size of the subsistence minimum. Here are some of them:
- The allowance for the birth of a child, payments for caring for him up to 1.5 years, as well as maternity capital are significant and tangible help for the family budget. These amounts really help parents support and raise their children at the beginning of their lives.
- 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 cost of living for each child. Poor families have the right to receive compensation.
- There are also very small payments in the list of benefits, which do not bring practically any benefit to families. We are talking about monthly payments for a child, as well as assistance to women registered in the consultation in the early stages of pregnancy. In this context, one cannot help but recall the compensation for parents on parental leave. Its size is only 50 rubles per month.
Even taking into account some negative aspects, it can be noted that over the past ten years, state support for families with children has become more significant. And if you compare the current situation with the 90s, the difference is simply enormous.
Maternity capital for a second child in 2017
This year, the system for calculating benefits for the second child has been changed. All the same, these payments have three main purposes:
- Housing. It will be possible to use the accrued money not only to pay the down payment, but also interest on the mortgage.
- Teaching a child. For the capital received, you can create a separate bank account, the money from which is used in the future to pay for training. Some media outlets claim that foreign educational institutions will be available.
- Pension. Payments can be accumulated in the mother’s bank account. Subsequently, this capital will be used as assistance to 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, carrying out procedures and rehabilitation measures for a disabled child.
The plans also introduce another option for targeted spending of funds received. It's about buying a new car. Having implemented such an initiative, its creators expect to achieve two goals. The first is assistance in acquiring a vehicle by young families. The second is assistance to the domestic automaker.
The main change affects the very essence of maternal capital. Since 2017, the whole family is the recipient of the money. Now father can apply for 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 grow in the coming years. The position of the State Duma is as follows: the amount of payments will be increased when the budget stabilizes, and its revenue increases. Some of the money for the second child can be withdrawn in cash. It is 20 thousand rubles. This amount of money can be spent on the current basic needs of the baby: a bed, diapers, clothes, medicines and more.
The regions also have their own family support programs. The money received thanks to them, most often you can spend at your discretion, without targeted spending.
Indexing Child Benefits
In 2008, the Russian Government established a procedure for indexing all child allowances. When recounting the amounts of payments, the forecasted inflation rate in the state was taken into account, which was determined in the budget for each financial year. Indexation made it possible to completely or partially avoid reducing the importance of family benefits, given the annual increase in prices for goods and services.
Such an indexation option has one big drawback: actual inflation always exceeds the forecast level. At the same time, we consider actual inflation as an indicator determined by Rosstat, which, as a rule, is underestimated.
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 in just one year decreased by 7%.
According to the current laws of the Russian Federation, the additional indexation of payments is carried out only when revising the parameters of the main budget of the country. Such a procedure is carried out extremely rarely and only in case of a serious financial crisis.
Moreover, revision of budget parameters is not a guarantee of additional indexation. In 2015, the Government adopted a new version of the budget law. The document featured an inflation rate of 12.2%. This figure reflected the real situation 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 payment amounts 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 inflation of the previous financial year.
Anton Siluanov, head of the Ministry of Finance, said the following in this regard: “The economic situation in the country has worsened. Indexing of allowances, taking into account forecast inflation, must be removed. ”
Not without radical proposals. In the State Duma, there are ideas in general to move away from the practice of indexing payments for inflation. In exchange, it is proposed to recount all benefits and compensations at the sole discretion of the Government. In this case, no “bindings” apply. The specific amount of benefits and compensation depends on the state budget reserves.
Since January, Moscow has been increasing the size of the city standard for non-working pensioners, as well as a number of social benefits. the site tells how social support will increase in the capital and who will receive the increased payments.
Sergei Sobyanin called social support for Muscovites a priority in the coming years. Pensions, allowances, 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 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 children with disabilities. The proposals were made by the Moscow City Council of Veterans, representatives of large families and other public organizations. The Moscow Mayor introduced precisely the proposals that were voiced at these meetings into the draft budget.
Help for retirees 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 be 17,500 rubles. Already at the end of December, nearly 1.4 million citizens will receive a pension increase.
“If we take the last seven years, we started with 10 thousand rubles. Now it’s 17.5 thousand. That is, we annually increase the minimum pension by almost a thousand rubles. And in the future we will try to increase as much as possible, ”said Sergei Sobyanin.
Monthly compensation for veterans of labor, home front workers and victims of political repressions will more than double since 2018.
In addition, city benefits to veterans and members of the Moscow defense will double. They will be paid monthly eight thousand rubles instead of four thousand.
Additional compensation is provided for the capital's centenarians. At the same time, 15 thousand rubles will be received by those who will turn 101 next year or more. Married couples will also receive lump-sum cash payments on the occasion of anniversaries. Those who celebrated the 50th anniversary of their life together will receive 20 thousand rubles (in 2017 the amount of payment was 10 thousand rubles), the 55th anniversary 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 compensation for pensioners will double in exchange for free travel on public transport, as well as in commuter trains.
Support for low-income and large families
The size of children's allowances for low-income families will grow from three to 6.25 times. The increase in these payments will affect almost 300 thousand young Muscovites. Almost five times - the monthly child allowance 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 mothers and single fathers, military personnel who are in military service on conscription for a child up to three years old will increase to 15 thousand rubles, and the amount of the allowance for children over three years old and the allowance for large families and families raising disabled children will increase twice. The monthly assistance for caring for a disabled child under the age of 18 years or a disabled person from childhood under the age of 23 will amount to 12 thousand rubles (in 2017 - six thousand rubles). The same amount will be paid for a child under the age of 18 living in a family in which both or a single parent do not work and are disabled I or II group.
For large families with five or more children, the city will also increase monthly payments for the purchase of children's clothing, housing, utilities, and telephone communications. Increased payments await parents also for International Family Day and Knowledge Day.
In the budget of Moscow, the growth of social spending is two times faster than the growth of other items. In 2018, it is planned to allocate 430 billion rubles for social needs. Part of these funds will be used to increase wages to social workers.
From 2011 to 2017, budget expenditures on the social sphere of Moscow have already been almost doubled. At the same time, the targetedness of the direction of benefits was strengthened. For example, expenses for subsidies and benefits for housing and communal services increased three-fold, nine-fold for the provision of grocery and clothing assistance to the poor, and five-fold for the provision of technical means of rehabilitation for people with disabilities.
At the same time, a system of incentives for the payment of contributions for major repairs began to work in the city, which covered about four million Muscovites. As part of the ground transportation reform, beneficiaries received the right to travel in commercial buses for free.

New allowance |
As you know, "children's" - these are benefits that are accrued upon the birth of a child. As indicated 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);
- lump-sum allowance at the birth of a child (based on a certificate from the maternity hospital);
- monthly allowance for childcare up to the age of 1.5 years;
- maternity allowance (sick leave);
The woman who gave birth to the child receives all of the above benefits from the employer. The accrual principle, as well as the upper and lower levels of children's allowances, need to be known to everyone - both managers and mothers themselves.
Increase child benefits in 2019
It must be remembered that from January 1, 2019 there was an increase in the minimum wage to 11,280 rubles, which was reflected in all types of benefits.
This year, "children's" benefits, according to, increased from 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 the benefits changed in early 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 \u003d 655.49 rubles.
This allowance is paid only once. It relies on women who:
- registered in medical institutions up to 12 weeks of pregnancy and provided relevant information;
- are entitled to maternity allowance ().
If a certificate of registration is submitted later than 12 weeks, then the benefit is paid within ten days after the provision, provided that the application for the benefit was followed no later than 6 months after the end of the maternity leave ().
- One-time allowance 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 \u003d 17,479.73 rubles.
- The minimum monthly allowance for caring for a second child and subsequent children under 1.5 years of age: 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 \u003d 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 the average monthly income 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 since January 1, 2019, the minimum wage has increased to 11,280 rubles, as a result of which the minimum amount of the allowance for caring for the first child has changed. Now it is 11,280 rubles. × 40% \u003d 4 512 rubles.
For 2019, the maximum monthly childcare allowance is 26,152.33 rubles. (the maximum possible average earnings is 65,380.82 rubles. × 40%).
Note that when calculating this allowance, certain criteria are 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 is 3 277.45 rubles.
- at the birth of the second and subsequent child, the lower criterion - from January 1, 2019 amounted to 6,284.65 rubles, from February 1, 2019 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. Maternity payment (“maternity”): the basis for it is the sick leave from the medical institution submitted by the woman, and the calculation is made on the fact of real earnings for the period of two previous years (that is, 2018 and 2017).
Benefit amounts are calculated from the number of sick leave days. They are valid from January 1, 2019. February indexing did not affect them.
Minimum size for employed women:
- 51 919 rub. - with a standard vacation time (140 days);
- RUB 57,852.6 - in preterm birth (156 days of vacation);
- 71,944.9 rubles - with multiple pregnancy (194 days of vacation)
Maximum allowance for working women:
- US $ 301,095.02 - with the standard duration of the decree (140 days);
- 335,506.08 rub. - for 156 days of vacation;
- 417,231.92 rubles. - in case of multiple pregnancy (194 days of vacation)
The above allowance is paid to women once upon presentation of a sick leave.
Woman's maternity leave and calculation of its payment
The rules for calculating maternity 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 from personal income tax.
To calculate the benefit, the annual income should not exceed the maximum base for the payment of contributions to the Social Insurance Fund:
- 718 000 rub. - in 2017;
- 755 000 rub. - in 2018;
- 815 000 rub. - in 2019.
To calculate the amount of actual average daily earnings of an employee, use the formula:
Average daily earnings \u003d Earning 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, consider that:
- for calculation, earnings for the previous two years are taken, which are taxed by contributions;
- in a leap year, 731 days, therefore, the actual number of calendar days in the billing period can be 730 days, 731 days and 732 days (if, when replacing the years of choice, both years are leap years). However, 2017 and 2018 are “normal”, not leap years.
So, the lower limit of daily earnings for calculating maternity in 2019 is 370.85 rubles.
And the upper limit of daily earnings is 2 150, 68 rubles. It is calculated by 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 accrued in 2018.
In 2019, the maximum maternity allowance will be calculated as follows:
- with conventional births: 2150.68 rubles × 140 days \u003d 301 095.20 rubles;
- with complicated births: 2150.68 rubles. × 156 days \u003d 335 506.08 rubles .;
- with complicated multiple births: 2150.68 rubles. × 194 days \u003d 417,231.92 rubles.
The benefit is paid in the amount of 100% regardless of the length of service of the employee, but provided that it exceeds 6 months.
It happens that in the billing period a woman was already on maternity leave or on parental leave. Then the corresponding calendar years can be replaced by previous calendar years at her request, if this “replacement” increases the amount of the allowance ().

As you know, the minimum size of maternity is directly dependent on the minimum wage. Since from January 1 of this year, the minimum wage has grown to 11,280 rubles., Then you need to calculate the minimum average earnings as follows: 11,280 rubles. × 24 months / 730 days \u003d 370.85 rubles.
Do not forget that earlier, in 2018, the minimum wage was 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 leave is set for those who do not have insurance coverage for up to 6 months, who had earnings below the minimum or had no earnings in the billing period.
Now let's calculate the minimum maternity allowance from February 2019:
- with a sick leave of 140 days: 370.85 rubles. × 140 days \u003d 51,919 rubles .;
- with a sick leave of 156 days: 370.85 rubles. × 156 days \u003d 57 852.60 rubles .;
- with a sick leave duration of 194 days: 370.85 rubles. × 194 days \u003d 71,944.90 rubles.
Do I need to recount benefits up to 1.5 years?
This question can be answered unequivocally - no. The general rule is: a childcare allowance for children under 1.5 years of age is assigned once and only on the date the vacation begins.
The allowance will need to be re-calculated if, after February 1, 2019, the employee left the childcare leave for at least one day and then went on vacation again. This time she will leave with a new calculation.
Child Care Benefit Plans
From 2020, the amount of 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 a 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 of maternity leave included in the length of service from 1.5 to 3 years is in need of additional discussion. First of all, you need to weigh the financial and social aspects of this idea, he said.
Maternity capital in 2019
The size of the maternal capital for the second child this year has not changed and amounted to 453,026 rubles. The last certificate increase took place over four years, 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 the federal program itself will operate at least until the end of 2021.
What changed:
- Signed, which changed the time period for the Pension Fund to make a decision on issuing a certificate - from 1 month to 15 days.
- Earlier, maternal capital was allowed to spend on a child's preschool education, that is, now there is no need to wait until he turns three years old. And for the second child born after January 1, 2018, it is allowed to issue a payment of a monthly cash benefit from maternity capital.
The other day, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev approved the initiative on the use of maternity capital for the construction of a residential building for permanent residence on a summer cottage (that is, it should be a capital building). According to him, it is necessary to change the relevant standards and allow the expenditure of maternal capital for these purposes.
Maternity calculator
It is easy and free to calculate the amount of payments using a special maternity calculator. Just enter the data from the sick leave sheet or information about the child and the duration of the vacation, indicate the employee’s earnings for the last two years (or previous years when changing years) and find out the amount of benefits. If there is a district coefficient, do not forget to mark it in the maternity calculator.
In recent years, indexation of federal payments per child has been carried out annually since February 1 on the basis of last year’s inflation rate. Thus, in 2017, state benefits to families with children will increase in proportion to the inflation rate determined at the end of 2016. The exception is only the amount of maternity capital, the amount of which will not change and will again be 453,026 rubles.
According to the federal law signed by the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin on December 19, 2016:
2016 inflation expected at the level of 5.4% (this value of inflation is confirmed by Rosstat).
Based on this, from February 1, 2017, state benefits will be indexed from coefficient 1,054 compared with 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 is child benefit indexation table in 2017.

Payment for a third child under 3 years old
By 2017, the number of regions with an unfavorable demographic situation, which were provided with co-financing for the payment of benefits, decreased to 42 subjects of the federation (originally it was 50, after the accession of the Republic of Crimea and the city of federal significance of Sevastopol, their number was 52).
The following eight regions have overcome the required fertility threshold (national average):
- republic of Crimea, Komi, Chuvash and Mari El;
- Khabarovsk and Kamchatka Territories;
- Sakhalin and Kaliningrad regions.
In these constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the payment at birth or adoption in 2017 of a third or subsequent children will not be assigned. However, despite this, social protection authorities will continue to transfer benefits for children born in 2014, 2015 and 2016 - since, according to the government decree of October 5, 2016 No. 2090-r, in 50 regions, including the above, co-financing of the program will continue until these children are three years old.
The amount of maternity capital in 2017 for the second child
On the basis of federal law No. 433-ФЗ dated 12/30/2015, the maternity capital program was extended until December 31, 2018. However, it will not be indexed in 2017, as in the previous one. Certificate size remains the same - 453 thousand 26 rubles.
Despite the fact that the size of the certificate did not increase in 2016, its owners could issue 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 payments due to the continuation of the crisis.
In addition to the lump sum, the main four directions for the sale of the certificate’s cash remained the same:
- to improve housing conditions;
- on the education of children;
- on the funded pension of the mother of the child;
- for the purchase of goods and services, for social integration and adaptation of children with disabilities (this item was introduced on January 1, 2016).
December 9, 2016 the State Duma adopted, suspending until January 1, 2020 annual indexation of maternal capital in accordance with the inflation rate. In this regard, do not count on an increase in the amount of mat. capital for another at least the next three years.
From January 1, 2017, the minimum wage remained in the amount of 7,500 rubles. However, despite this, from January 1, there have been changes in the calculation of some "children's" benefits. How to count "children's" benefits from January 1, 2017? What is the amount of benefits since January 1, 2017? Has the size of the childcare 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 allowances, 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 "child" benefits. The list of “children's” benefits is given in the Federal Law of May 19, 95 No. 81-FZ “On State Benefits for Citizens with Children”. Consider how the sizes of the most frequently paid “children's” benefits will change from January 1, 2017, namely:
- benefits for registration in early pregnancy;
- lump-sum benefits at birth;
- monthly allowance for childcare up to 1.5 years;
- maternity benefits.
These benefits are paid by the employer. However, we note that in some regions of the Russian Federation a pilot experiment is being conducted to pay benefits directly from the FSS budget. FSS units in the experimental regions themselves accrue and pay "children's" benefits to employees. Cm. " ".
If an organization or an individual entrepreneur has employees for whom he is obliged to pay child benefits, then the employer should know the amount of child benefits from January 1, 2017.
Indexing benefits since January 1, 2017
The indexation of “children's” benefits will not occur from January 1, 2017, since the legislators did not provide for the coefficient of such indexation. However, payments for children will be indexed from February 1, 2017, taking into account the consumer price index 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. We summarize the sizes of "children's" benefits in the table since January 2017. These sizes have not changed.
However, some changes in the amount of benefits from January 1, 2017, nevertheless, will occur. We will talk about them later.
Monthly allowance for childcare up to 1, 5 years
So, we talked about the minimum amount of the monthly allowance for caring for a child under 1.5 years old (see table). The minimum size has not changed in any way since January 1, 2017. This benefit is not limited to the maximum size. However, the average daily earnings, from which the childcare allowance is calculated, are limited.
The legislation stipulates that the average daily earnings for calculating benefits cannot exceed the amount of the maximum base for calculating insurance premiums for 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 average daily earnings, the following formula is used:
Consequently, if maternity leave begins in 2017, it is necessary in the calculations to accept the values \u200b\u200bof the maximum base for calculating contributions to the Social Insurance Fund for 2015 and 2016. Recall that in 2015 the maximum base value was 670,000 rubles. (Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 04.12.14 No. 1316), and in 2016 - 718,000 rubles. (Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of November 26, 2015 No. 1265).
Given the new values \u200b\u200bon the marginal base, in 2017 the maximum average daily earnings for calculating the benefit is 1,901.37 rubles (670,000 rubles + 718,000 rubles) / 730. Note that the exact value is 1901,3698630136 rubles, however in further calculations we will use 1,901.37 rubles.
Next, we calculate the maximum 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). Total in 2017, the maximum average monthly earnings for calculating benefits will be 57,801.64 rubles. (1901.37 rub. × 30.4).
Example. Since January 16, 2017, an employee of LLC “Zoology” A. Odinokov goes on parental leave. The billing period is 2015 and 2016. In 2016, a woman was on sick leave for 25 calendar days, 124 days on maternity leave.
The salary for 2015 is 350,000 rubles, for 2016 - 240,000 rubles. The number of days in the billing period is 582 days. (365 + 366 - 25 - 124). The 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 rub. × 40% × 30.4 days).
When the allowance for caring for a child under 1.5 needs to be recounted
Some accountants may have a question about whether, from January 1, 2017, it is necessary to recalculate the already assigned benefits for caring for a child up to 1.5 years old. The answer is no. There is no need to review anything. The fact is that, as a general rule, the allowance for caring for a child under 1.5 years old is considered once - on the date of the start of the leave for care. Therefore, if the allowance is assigned in 2016, then the allowance should not be revised for the months of vacation that fall in 2017. That is, in 2017, the amount of the allowance calculated in 2016 should be paid monthly.
However, keep in mind that there may be a situation where you may need to change the size of the allowance determined in 2016. This can happen if a person interrupts parental leave for children under 1.5 years of age, and in 2017 takes the same leave again. And then the size of the childcare allowance will need to be considered based on the new values. The fact is that the childcare allowance is also considered from the average earnings calculated for the two calendar years preceding the year the childcare leave began (part 1 of 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 transfer the billing period). As a result, the amount of the allowance may differ from the one paid before. We give an example.
Maternity allowance from January 1, 2017
Maternity allowance paid by employers is not indexed annually. However, the maximum allowance will become larger from January 1, 2017, since when calculating the allowance, the accountant will need to take into account the new maximum value of the average daily earnings.
Recall that the maternity allowance 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 (in general);
- 194 days (with multiple pregnancy);
- 156 days (with complicated births).
Maximum allowance
To calculate the maximum amount of maternity allowance from January 2017, you must take into account the maximum amount of average daily earnings. He is considered according to the same formula as when calculating the allowance for caring for a child under 1.5 years of age (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.
Thus, in 2017, the maximum amount of maternity allowance 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 (1,901.37 rubles × 156 days) for complicated births.
Minimum Benefit
When calculating the maternity allowance, the average daily wage cannot be less than the value 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 in the amount of 7,500 rubles. Cm. " ". Therefore, if maternity leave begins in 2017, the minimum daily average earnings for calculating maternity allowance will be 246.58 rubles (7500 rubles × 24/730). This value is used for further calculation, if it turned out to be greater than the actual average daily earnings of the employee. The minimum 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;
- 38,465.75 rubles (246.58 rub. X 156 days) - with complicated births.
