From July 1, 2017, the minimum wage was increased from 7,500 rubles to 7,800 rubles. Will such an increase affect the amount of child benefits? How is the minimum wage related to child benefits paid by the employer? Is it necessary to review the amounts of already paid child care and maternity benefits from July 1? We will provide a table with the new amounts of child benefits from July 1, 2017 and tell you in detail what exactly is changing from that date.
What is “child benefit”
Let us say right away that such a concept as “children’s benefits” is not directly disclosed in the legislation. However, in practice, accountants usually understand child benefits as payments that are associated with the birth and upbringing of children. Such benefits are generally required to be paid by the employer. “Children’s” benefits include:
- benefits for registration in the early stages of pregnancy;
- lump sum benefit for the birth of a child;
- monthly allowance for child care up to 1.5 years;
- maternity benefits (“maternity benefits”).
However, in 2017, the amount of child benefits changed several times. In this regard, we consider it appropriate to tell our readers about this. In particular, we will tell you in detail how the amounts of child benefits have changed since July 1, 2017.
Benefit amounts from January 1, 2017
From January 1, 2017, employers should have paid some “children’s” benefits to employees in the same amounts as in 2016, since at the legislative level no indexation of benefits was planned from the beginning of the year. We present in the table the amounts of benefits, which are determined by law in fixed amounts and are subject to indexation:
| Amounts of child benefits in January 2017 | |
|---|---|
| Benefit | Size in January 2017 |
| RUB 581.73 | |
| RUB 15,512.65 | |
| Care for the first child - 3000 rub. Caring for a second child - 5,817.24 rubles. |
|
At the same time, the maximum amount of child care benefits is not subject to state indexation. Maternity benefits are also not indexed. However, their size changes due to changes in the size of the base for calculating insurance premiums in the billing period. The amounts of these benefits from January 1, 2017 were as follows:
There was indexation in February
The “children’s” benefits given in the table above are subject to annual indexation. In 2017, indexation was planned by 1.54% from February 1, 2017 (Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation dated January 26, 2017 No. 88). In this regard, the amounts of some “children’s” benefits have increased since February.
| Amounts of child benefits from February 1, 2017 | |
|---|---|
| Benefit | Size in January 2017 |
| Benefit for registration in early pregnancy | 613, 14 rub. (RUR 581.73 x 1,054) |
| One-time benefit for the birth of a child | 16,350, 33 rub. (RUB 15,512.65 x 1,054) |
| Minimum size for child care up to 1.5 years | Care for the first child - 3065.69 rubles. (RUR 2,908.62 x 1,054) Care for the second child - 6131.37 rubles. (RUB 5,817.24 x 1,054) |
Regional coefficients
In districts and localities where regional coefficients for wages have been established, “children’s” benefits (both in January 2017 and from February 1, 2017) will be higher - they must be additionally increased by the amount of the increasing coefficient (Article 5 of Law No. 81 -FZ).
How child benefits are changing from July 1, 2017
From July 1, 2017, the minimum wage was increased to 7,800 rubles. But why does this affect child benefits from 1 July 2017? Let us explain with examples and give new benefit amounts.
Maternity benefit (“maternity benefit”)
The new minimum wage (RUB 7,800) applies to maternity benefits from July 1, 2017 in the following cases:
- if there were no payments in the billing period or their amount was small;
- if the employee’s insurance experience at the time of granting benefits was six months.
What is a billing period
The billing period is the two calendar years preceding the start of maternity leave (from January 1 to December 31). If a woman goes on maternity leave, say, in July 2017, then the billing period will be 2015-2016. During this period, the income of the person applying for benefits is taken into account.
The minimum amount of maternity benefits has changed
We believe it is appropriate to note that an employee who is assigned maternity benefits has the right to contact the accounting department to replace one or two years of the billing period with other years (if there is no earnings in the billing period or it is small). The accountant should replace the years while simultaneously meeting 3 conditions:
- a woman wants to change the years in which she was on maternity leave or parental leave;
- the years selected for replacement precede the billing period (letter of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated August 3, 2015 No. 17-1/OOG-1105);
- As a result of changing years, the benefit amount will become larger.
But if there is no right to replace years, then maternity benefits must be calculated from the minimum wage - in the minimum amount. In such a situation, it is necessary to determine the minimum average daily earnings using the following formula:
Minimum average daily earnings = minimum wage at the beginning of maternity leave x 24 / 730
From July 1, 2017, the minimum wage is 7,800 rubles. Therefore, from July 1, the minimum average daily earnings for calculating benefits is 256.438356 rubles. (RUB 7,800 × 24 months) / 730. Here is an example of calculating the minimum maternity benefit from July 1 using the new average daily earnings:
An example of calculating maternity benefits from July 2017
A.V. Nikolaeva wishes to go on maternity leave from July 28, 2017. The billing period is from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2016. There was no earnings during the billing period. Insurance experience – 7 months. The regional coefficient does not apply. The minimum average daily earnings is 256.438356 rubles. (7800 rubles × 24 months) / 730. Daily allowance – 256.438356 rubles. (RUB 256.438356 × 100%). As a result, the amount of A.V.’s benefit Nikolaeva for 140 calendar days of maternity leave, calculated from the minimum wage in the minimum allowable amount, will be 35,901.37 rubles. (RUB 256.438356 × 140 days).
Maternity leave is a legally established paid period of 140, 156 or 194 days, which is entitled to every woman to give birth to a child and restore her health.
Until July 1, 2016, the minimum wage will be 7,500 rubles. And if maternity leave began in 2017 (from February 1 to June 30), then the minimum average daily earnings for calculating maternity benefits was taken equal to 246.575342 rubles. (RUB 7,500 × 24 months / 730). This value was used for further calculation of benefits if it turned out to be greater than the actual average daily earnings of the employee. The minimum amounts of maternity benefits before June 30, 2017 were as follows:
- RUB 34,520.55 (246.575342 rubles × 140 days) – in the general case;
- RUB 47,835.62 (246.575342 rubles x 194 days) – in case of multiple pregnancy;
- RUR 38,465.75 (RUR 246.575342 x 156 days) – for complicated childbirth.
From July 1, 2017, the minimum amount of maternity payments must be calculated from the new minimum average daily earnings of 256.438356 rubles. The new values of minimum maternity benefits from July 1, 2017 for different lengths of leave are as follows:
- RUB 35,901.37 (256.438356 × 140 days) – in the general case;
- RUB 49,749.04 (256.438356 x 194 days) – in case of multiple pregnancy;
- RUB 40,004.38 (256.438356 x 156 days) – for complicated childbirth.
Let's compare the minimum values of maternity benefits from the latest minimum wages in the table:
As can be seen from the table, from July 1, 2017, the minimum amount of maternity benefits has increased.
If the experience is less than 6 months
At the start of maternity leave, a woman’s length of service may be less than six months. This happens, for example, if this is your first job. Then maternity leave for a full calendar month should not exceed the minimum wage (Part 3, Article 11 of Federal Law No. 255-FZ of December 29, 2006). In areas with regional coefficients - in an amount not exceeding the minimum wage, taking into account such coefficients.
When calculating maternity benefits for less than six months of service, you should use the minimum wage in effect in the month the maternity leave begins. That is, if the vacation began, for example, in June 2017, and ended in October, then in order to limit the amount of benefits in June, you need to rely on the minimum wage in the amount of 7,500 rubles, and in July, August, September and October - 7,800 rubles.
Maximum sizes of maternity
As for the maximum amounts of maternity benefits, they have not changed since July 1, 2017, since the maximum amount of the minimum wage does not affect. To calculate the maximum amount of maternity leave from 2017, you need to take into account the maximum amount of average daily earnings. It is calculated using a formula that takes into account not the minimum wage, but the maximum values of the base for calculating insurance contributions to the Social Insurance Fund for the billing period.
In 2015, the maximum value of the base was 670,000 rubles. (Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation dated December 4, 2014 No. 1316), and in 2016 – 718,000 rubles. (Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation dated November 26, 2015 No. 1265).
That is, in 2017, the maximum average earnings are taken into account as 1901.37 rubles. (RUR 670,000 + RUR 718,000) / 730. Accordingly, as can be seen from the table below, the maximum limits from July 1, 2017 remained the same.
Child care benefit from July 1, 2017
The employer must pay child care benefits to the employee monthly in an amount equal to 40% of average earnings, but not less than the minimum amount (Clause 1, Article 11.2 of Federal Law No. 255-FZ of December 29, 2006).
The minimum care allowance has increased
The minimum basic amount of child care benefits is established by Part 1 of Article 15 of the Law of May 19, 1995 No. 81-FZ and is:
- when caring for the first child - 1500 rubles. per month;
- when caring for the second and subsequent children - 3000 rubles. per month.
These amounts are annually indexed by the appropriate coefficient. Taking into account all indexation coefficients, as of February 1, 2017, the minimum child care benefits were as follows:
- RUB 3,065.69 – for the first child;
- 6131, 37 rub. – for the second and subsequent children.
Due to the increase in the minimum wage, the minimum amount of child benefit will increase from July 1, 2017. After all, the amount of the minimum benefit (for the first child) from July 1, 2017 cannot be less than the amount calculated from the new minimum wage, namely 3,120 rubles (7,800 rubles x 40%). However, you should only use the new value if your maternity leave started on or after 1 July 2017. At the same time, the “minimum wage” for caring for the second and subsequent children does not change. It remains in the amount of 6131 rubles on and after July 1.
The maximum care allowance remains the same
The maximum amount of child care benefit is not limited. However, the amount of average daily earnings on which this benefit is calculated is limited.
It has been established that the amount of average daily earnings for calculating benefits cannot be greater than the sum of the maximum 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 Law No. 255-FZ ). Therefore, to calculate the maximum amount of average daily earnings, use the formula:
Maximum average daily earnings = sum of the maximum values of the base for calculating Social Insurance contributions for the two previous years / 730
Therefore, if a woman’s vacation begins in 2017, then in the calculations we should take the values of the maximum values of the base for calculating contributions to the Social Insurance Fund for 2015 and 2016
Taking into account the indicated values for the marginal base, in 2017 the maximum value of the average daily earnings for calculating the monthly care allowance is 1901.37 rubles. (RUR 670,000 + RUR 718,000) / 730. That is, the calculations apply exactly the same principle as when determining the maximum maternity benefit.
Now let’s calculate the maximum average earnings for a whole month. For these purposes, we multiply the average daily earnings by the average monthly number of calendar days - 30.4 (Part 5.1 of Article 14 of Law No. 255-FZ). In 2017, the maximum average monthly earnings for calculating benefits will be 57,801.64 rubles. (RUR 1,901.37 × 30.4).
The amount of the monthly childcare benefit for a child up to 1.5 years old is generally equal to 40% of the average monthly earnings (Part 1, Article 15 of Law No. 81-FZ). Therefore, in 2017, the maximum amount of monthly benefit per child will be 23,120.66 rubles. (RUB 57,801.64 × 40%). This maximum amount of child care benefits applies throughout 2017. And, as you can see, the increase in the minimum wage from July 1, 2017 simply could not affect it
When sizes need to be revised
If the right to leave to care for the first child arose before July 1 and the accountant calculated the minimum benefit (RUB 3,065.69), then no recalculation should be made. However, if the vacation began on July 1, 2017 or later, then the woman is entitled to 3,120 rubles for each month. Accordingly, if you paid the woman less, then you need to recalculate and pay extra.
You will also need to review and pay additional maternity benefits if, after July 1, 2017, you assigned them without taking into account the increased minimum wage in the cases described above (no earnings in the billing period or less than six months of service).

To make it easier for an accountant to navigate the amounts of benefits in 2017, we have summarized the final values of “children’s” benefits in a single table.

The maximum for the first baby will be 21,554.85 rubles. On the second, the payout is doubled. The minimum depends on the minimum wage. For January 2017, the smallest benefit amount was fixed - 2,908.62 rubles. for the first child, followed by doubling for the second child. Since February 2017, the limits have increased: RUB 23,120.66. and 3,077.32 rubles. respectively.
Money for a third child. Assistance to large families
When a third child is born, parents receive a birth allowance, monthly payments, and an additional payment for registration. These federal support instruments do not depend on whether the child is the first or the third. However, a large family has additional preferences and benefits. Often, a large family also enjoys the privileges provided to low-income families. But the family needs to obtain the status of having many children. Depending on the laws of the subject of the federation, adjustments to the conditions are possible, but in general the requirements are as follows:
- Having 3 or more children. Taking into account national characteristics, it is possible to increase the required minimum.
- All children are under 18 years of age. There are precedents for exceptions to the rule. For example, in Udmurtia, full-time education of adult children under 18 years of age is recognized as equivalent.
If you move to another region, you will need to register your status again.
The amount of payments is determined based on the capabilities of the regional budget. For Moscow residents with children from 1.5 to 3 years old, an additional payment of 2,500 rubles. And if the child is under 1.5 years old or over 3 years old, then the assistance will amount to 1,500 rubles.
The law signed by the President obliges Russian families in need to pay a monthly allowance upon the birth of their first child.
Payments will be made in addition to the main and. Financial support for the first-born child is also designed for the same period due to the adoption of the new law.
According to calculations, the program, designed for 3 years, will cost the budget approximately 144 billion rubles. In 2018, 21 billion rubles will be spent, in 2019 - 55, in 2020 - 68. The amounts may change during the implementation of the plan.
The amounts of payments correspond to the children's subsistence level in a constituent entity or region of the Russian Federation for the second quarter of last year. In 2018, they will be equal to the amount that was established in the 2nd quarter of 2017.
The average amount for all regions is:
- 2018 - 10,523 rubles;
- 2019 - 10,836 rubles;
- 2020 - 11,143 rubles.
The amount of benefits is calculated targeted and individually depending on the region or subject of the country.
