In September 2026, the difference between the extreme regional average pension amounted to 23,337 rubles. In Chukotka, the average payment was 42,248 rubles, in Dagestan - 18,911 rubles. Thus, the indicator of the northern region is more than double that of Dagestan, the comparison does not show the difference between individual pensioners, but the distance between the regional averages. Within each subject, the payments may vary considerably, so it is impossible to judge the size of the allowance of any of its tenants based on the two extremes. However, the scale of the difference itself remains significant: the gap of 23.3 thousand rubles is more than the average payment in Dagestan. These statistics are also important for assessing the overall growth of the pension provision. Even if the national average increases, it does not reflect the same level of payments in all regions. The maximum in Chukotka and the minimum in Dagestan document how heterogeneous the financial capabilities of pensioners are compared between regions, and not of individual recipients. Ξeconomics.
