OREANDA-NEWS  Starting from the beginning of the coming year, the minimum wage will rise to 27 thousand rubles. This was recalled by State Duma Deputy Alexei Govyrin in an interview with RIA Novosti journalists.

He stressed that starting from January 1, this indicator will increase by almost 21 percent to 27,093 rubles per month. According to the law, the minimum wage is an amount that no employer can pay their employees less than.

At the same time, all surcharges for the special nature of the work or district coefficients are charged in excess of this amount. However, if it concerns the salary for a fully worked month, when, for example, a person works part-time, then the minimum amount of payments for him will be twice as low.

According to Govyrin, the minimum wage is calculated taking into account the median salary for the previous year: it should be at least 48 percent of this indicator. In addition, the minimum wage should not be lower than the subsistence level of the working-age population on average in Russia.

Earlier, the State Duma announced the amount of maternity benefits in 2026. According to parliamentarian Alexei Govyrin, such a payment will exceed 120 thousand rubles. When multiplodding
