• living wage for working citizens - 9,651 rubles;
• minimum for pensioners - 8,4140 rubles;
• The average payment in the region is 13,700 rubles.

Price pension point (federal significance) - 78.58 rub.

Since most other significant indicators, such as the minimum wage and pensions, are tied to the cost of living in 2019 in Russia, its size is of great importance for many Russians and foreigners working in the Russian Federation. It should be remembered that the cost of living for a child or pensioner differs from the stipulated size of the consumer basket of an adult able-bodied person. It is also necessary to remember that in different regions of the Russian Federation these indicators can also differ significantly.

Living wage in 2019 in Russia - general indicators

The direct cost of living in 2019 in Russia is 10,213 rubles per capita for the entire Russian Federation. It should be remembered that the corresponding principles for calculating this indicator are established based on the results of the previous quarter (i.e. this moment, for the 1st quarter of 2019, the cost of living level established for the 4th quarter of 2018 is in effect) and until May 1, 2019 are regulated by Order of the Ministry of Labor No. 102n dated 02/20/2019.

Directly from May 1, 2019 in Russia, the cost of living will not change for now, since it will take time to analyze economic indicators and the consumer basket for the first quarter of this year.

In general, the cost of living indicators for the country are as follows:

• The cost of living for a child at the beginning of 2019 is 10,302 rubles.
• The cost of living for a pensioner at the beginning of 2019 was set at 8,615 rubles.
• For an adult able-bodied person, the cost of living is 11,310 rubles.

The living wage for pensioners is established by the provisions of a separate regulatory act, which in the case of 2019 is Federal Law No. 178 of July 17, 1999.

Cost of living for 2019 by region - table

Since in different regions of the Russian Federation the cost of living indicators can differ significantly from each other, it is best to understand this issue regarding a particular subject of the Russian Federation, a table for the 4th quarter of 2018 by region, relevant until new amounts are established, can help. The table looks like this:

Taking into account the fact that the minimum wage is now equal to the subsistence level, including in the regions, these indicators do not always have to correspond to each other. In particular, certain regional regulations stipulate that the minimum wage in the region should be higher than the subsistence level - for example, be 1.2 parts of it in some cases.

How is the cost of living calculated in Russia and by region?

The subsistence minimum is an indicator that should reflect the minimum amount of funds necessary for citizens to meet their needs for housing, food, and non-food items - clothing, shoes and other necessary things.

The cost of living is calculated based on the average consumer basket, which includes various food products. The non-food part of the subsistence minimum is not calculated based on the prices of goods or a specific list of them, but is equated to half of the food basket, as well as the cost of utilities. At the same time, the difference in the size of this indicator in different regions of the Russian Federation is ensured precisely due to the existing difference in prices in different subjects.

It must be remembered that the cost of living is not an accurate indicator of what is minimally necessary for a person, therefore, first of all, it has a general statistical significance necessary for determining the minimum amounts of various payments and payments to provide for a person.

The cost of living can be used both to determine the actual level of the minimum wage or minimum pension, and to calculate other payments. In particular, this indicator is used to determine the necessary alimony in some situations. In addition, many other indicators and standards can also be used to calculate the cost of living and the dynamics of its change. This indicator changes based on the results of each individual quarter, but the government of the Federation or constituent entities of the Russian Federation does not always have time to adapt the relevant calculations and resolutions to the indicators of the past period.

If the cost of living is taken to calculate the maximum pension, then it should be remembered that in this situation all types of pension provision are taken into account. That is, a social supplement to the level of the subsistence level is carried out only when the size of the pension, taking into account even material support, turns out to be lower than the established indicators of the subsistence level for pensioners. The mechanisms for compensating the subsistence level also differ - if the actual pension is below the general national level, the additional payment is made from the federal budget, and if it is higher, then regional finances are used.
