The income of a serviceman under a contract is not one figure, but several payments of different nature: a one-time payment upon conclusion of a contract, a monthly allowance, regional additional payments and additional payments for completing tasks. Some of them are fixed federally, some depend on the region, position and rank. Below we analyze each component so that you understand the real structure, and not just the total amount from advertising.
One-time payment on signing
$17,000
Paid to the serviceman after the contract is signed. Monthly allowance from $2,500.
What your payments consist of
The amount for the first year is not a one-time payment, but a combination of several sources. Here are the main components:
One-time payment
Federal and regional parts - immediately after signing the contract
Monthly allowance
Salary with bonuses for 12 months of service; includes a regional part
Additional payments
For completing tasks - depending on the terms of the contract
One-time payment on signing a contract
It is paid immediately after signing the contract and consists of two parts - federal and regional. The federal part is uniform throughout the country, the regional part is established by the constituent entity of the Russian Federation and differs in different regions. The total one-time payment upon conclusion is from $17,000 and higher - the total depends on the region.
Monthly allowance
Monthly allowance is the regular income for service, from $2,500 per month. It is not fixed equally for everyone, but consists of several parts:
Salary according to military rank
Basic part, depends on the assigned rank
Salary for military position
Depends on the position and salary category
Long service bonus
Grows with military service experience
Surcharges for special conditions
For risk, qualifications, special tasks and conditions of service
That is why the allowance of two military personnel may differ: it grows with promotion in position and rank, with length of service and depending on the conditions of service. The base amount is a starting point, not a ceiling.
Additional payments
In addition to the salary and one-time payment, additional payments are provided related to the nature of the service:
- For completing tasks. Incentive payments for participation in completing tasks - the size and order depend on the conditions.
- If injured. Insurance and one-time payments are provided in the event of injury or trauma received in the performance of duties.
- For state awards. The award is accompanied by additional payments.
Why does the amount depend on the region?
Federal payments are uniform throughout the country, but the constituent entities of the Russian Federation establish their own regional additional payments - and they differ significantly. The same contract in different regions may mean a different final amount due to the regional part. Therefore, the “average figure” from advertising says little about your real income - it is calculated for a specific region. We help you choose conditions taking this into account.
Frequently asked questions about payments
What determines the final payment amount?
From the region where the contract was concluded, military position and rank, length of service, terms of the contract and the nature of the tasks performed. Therefore, it is correct to name the exact amount only individually - for a specific case.
When does the first payment arrive?
A one-time payment is transferred after the conclusion of the contract. Monthly allowance is accrued for the period of service and paid on time.
Are payments subject to tax?
A number of payments to military personnel provide preferential taxation. The specific procedure depends on the type of payment - we will clarify the details during the consultation.
