You are faced with a choice: forming the right to an early professional pension or a monthly supplement to your salary? Explained by the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection.

Let's figure out what's more beneficial.

Why is the monthly supplement more beneficial?

Receive the increase every month together with your salary, not sometime in the future.

You decide how to use these funds.

For example, you can join a supplementary funded pension insurance program.

Who benefits especially from this?

Young employees: Retirement is still far away, but you need the money now.

Employees with short service in hazardous working conditions: if you do not plan to accumulate full professional seniority.

Already today, more than 56% of employees have chosen the monthly supplement!

They receive an additional monthly income:

  • Medical workers — 117 rubles
  • Tractor operators, operators — 150 rubles
  • Workers of List No. 1 — 310 rubles
  • Workers of List No. 2 — 180 rubles
  • Drivers of urban transport — 200 rubles

Important: The amount of the monthly supplement depends on your salary and cannot be less than the contributions to professional pension insurance (from 4 to 9% depending on the professional group).
