The average size of all types of pensions turned out to be lower - 25,480 rubles. It includes more than just old age benefits, so it is not possible to directly compare these amounts. The difference between the categories remains even against the background of the overall nominal increase in payments.

The Ministry of Finance predicts that after the planned two-stage linkage, by the end of 2027 the average old-age pension will increase to 29,904 rubles. For now, this is a forecast, not an amount already allocated. Thus, the current level is slightly more than 27 thousand rubles, and further growth depends on the implementation of the planned linkage. The average values ​​given do not mean that every pensioner receives exactly this payment.
