According to the Russian Social Fund , 2025 will be the last year when the requirements for the size of the individual pension coefficient for the assignment of an old-age insurance pension, including one established early, will change.
"Starting next year, its value will be set at no less than 30 and will no longer change. In 2024, the requirement for insurance experience similarly stopped changing. Now its minimum value is 15 years and will remain at this level," the department's website says.
The transition period for raising the retirement age list of real mobile number database will also continue. In 2025, women born in 1966 or later and men born in 1961 or later can receive an insurance pension on a general basis. If pensioners have benefits, for example, for working in the Far North, then their pension can be assigned earlier.

Since January 2025, insurance pensions in Russia have been indexed by 7.3%. At the same time, the amount received as a result depends on the amount of the pension received; it is calculated individually for each pensioner. Working pensioners have also started receiving an indexed pension since this year.
Indexation is applied not to the pension being paid, but to its established amount, which takes into account all indexations for periods of work. Such a mechanism will allow pensioners to receive a more significant increase as a result of recalculation.

The indexation will affect not only current pensioners – future pensions of working citizens of Russia will also increase. The cost of the pension coefficient and fixed payment, which make up the insurance pension, will increase by 7.3%. The cost of one coefficient will be increased from 133.05 to 142.76 rubles, and the amount of the fixed payment to the insurance pension will increase from 8,134.88 to 8,728.73 rubles.
