Salary in the army: from soldier to general. The countries of the CIS and Europe.
Russia
Our soldier does not dream of being paid with bags of dollars. A gas mask full of rubles will be enough for him …
Salary in the army: from soldier to general. The countries of the CIS and Europe.
As the grandmother thinks:
The monetary allowance (DD) of the military personnel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation consists of a salary for a military position (OVD) and a salary for a military rank (OVZ). Together, these are referred to as payroll (payroll). To it are added a percentage premium for length of service (PNVL) and other additional payments (more on them later).
The categories of ATS, HVD and PNVL are eternal, like the sky and air, they cannot deprive people of them. They are only adjusted when the military position changes, the number of years he has served or the DD increases. For example, the monthly DD of the deputy commander of a motorized rifle battalion, major, who has the 16th wage category and 10 years of service (excluding additional payments and income tax), is 9600 rubles. But there are still a lot of additional payments. They are monthly, quarterly, yearly, or one-off. And this, consider, is another half of the DD. As a result, the major can bring home 18 - 20 thousand rubles (unless, of course, he doesn’t save something from his wife or say that he’s deducted for a tank drowned during his cadet years).
Monthly for servicemen. D-Day
So, financiers every month "plus" the salary of people in uniform (of course, taking into account the specifics of each service) supplements. But do not think that with a huge number of them, the military is raking money with a shovel: there are different additives. Quite scanty, say, 100 rubles. for the class qualifications of an ordinary contract service, and more - 200,000 rubles to the commander of a submarine missile carrier on the basis of the order of the Ministry of Defense No. 400.
Indeed, ours have no less additives than the Americans. And many of them even coincide in name: for combat duty, for parachute jumping (landing with equipment), sea pay; for diving work.
And here is our know-how:
For the command (leadership) of military units and military units - from 300 to 500 rubles (the deputy commander is not entitled to). Total from 10 to 16 rubles. and 66 kopecks per day of vigilant care of the beloved personnel. Even a platoon commander, even a brigade commander. What 20 fighters, what 3, 5 thousand!
There are also allowances for special conditions of combat training (for example, for our units in Chechnya) - from 2,700 to 5,000 rubles a month. More "welding":
For the complexity and intensity of the service - one of the most significant (except for the allowance by order No. 400-A). It can be from 30 to 200% of the ATS, and it is paid to all personnel of the contract service. Monthly payments (monthly payments) by order No. 400-A can range from 30,000 to 200,000 rubles. But contract soldiers and warrant officers, as well as officers in sergeant positions, are not supposed to have this happiness, which causes them reasonable dissatisfaction. How is it that everyone "plowed", but with one - tops, and others - roots?
Quarterly payments by order of the Ministry of Defense No. 115. They are paid to contractors (who have no penalties) at the expense of the freed up as a result of the reduction in the number of personnel of the Armed Forces and savings in budgetary funds. Interesting: the reductions will end, and this payment too? Uncertainty about the order of payment under this order (to whom and how much) creates grounds for abuse. So, for example, in the 138th separate motorized rifle brigade of the Leningrad Military District, all the money allocated to pay the personnel of the brigade went to a narrow circle of people. Moreover, 7 people from among those awarded had warnings about incomplete service compliance and were subject to early dismissal from military service.
For special conditions of service for servicemen engaged in work on recharging nuclear reactors of ships, handling nuclear fuel and radioactive waste. Money is small, but outdoor work is healthier, you know!
For special conditions of service … In a word, a monetary reward for each discovered and (or) neutralized (destroyed) explosive object. Believe it or not: it is counted in terms of percentage of the platoon commander's salary - and it’s scary to approach another "subject", not just pick it up. And to you for this joy - a gold piece!
In addition to monthly allowances, in the Russian army there are also quarterly, annual and one-time additional payments (ADV). This is a real money solitaire game. And there is a huge difference in amounts. All these allowances are calculated either in the number of salaries paid, or as a percentage of salaries for the position or salaries of pay. Obviously, the CIA was puzzled. What kind of EDV are there?
For the conscientious performance of military service duties. And who, beloved, is celebrating her in bad faith? An, apparently, there are such slovens. But along with this there is also a prize for the exemplary fulfillment of military duty. What is it like?
For his continuous military service in parachute jumping. The service is continuous, and the remuneration is one-time. The paradox, however … So there is also just - for jumping!
For graduating from military educational institutions. We read and thought: is it difficult to study, or there is no one to teach? Or maybe the ancient Egyptians were right when they believed: study is harder than any work?
For trouble-free work. Here it is clear: who remained alive, and that reward!
For a long and continuous service on ships, ships and in the directorates of their formations (associations). Here everything is correct: before, the staff, preparing the ships to go to sea, were carried off with money. Only it is not said: long-term - is it a lope?
Women are not intimidated by low salaries in the army. For them, the main thing is stability?
The one who freezes more gets more
There are also regional coefficients that are taken into account when calculating DD. There is, for example, "polar" - percentage allowances for service in the Far North regions, equivalent areas and other places with a disgusting climate and ecology, including remote ones. The military themselves call these allowances, respectively: "for wearing puffed pants in July", "for savagery." In the "north" even winter hats are different, their "ears" were so long that they overlapped one another. Hence the name - "one and a half salary".
And then there are compensation
For example, compensation paid once a year for spa treatment. 600 rubles for a military man and 300 rubles for his wife. Together - 900 rubles. For your information: today is the daily price for the accommodation of one employee in a sanatorium room. But how does the state compensate the military for, say, living in a rented apartment? There is such a payment! The minimum is 2700 rubles per month. But in Moscow and St. Petersburg it is supposed to pay 15,000 rubles. This is for one. And if three or more live with him, then + 50% (15,000 + 7500) - 22,500.
About military pensions
Russian laws establish the following types of military pensions:
for the length of service;
on disability;
on the occasion of the loss of the breadwinner.
How is the seniority pension calculated?
The monetary allowance taken into account for calculating the pension (let's call it the base amount) includes the salary of pay (ODS), that is, the salary for the last regular military position (OVD) and the salary for the military rank assigned on the day of dismissal (HVZ), plus a percentage increase for the length of service (PNVL) to the salary of pay.
The seniority pension is established in the following amounts:
a) persons with 20 years of service or more:
for 20 years of service - 50 percent of the base amount;
for each year of service over 20 years - 3 percent of the base amount, but not more than 85 percent of it;
b) persons with a total length of service of 25 "calendars" or more, of which at least 12 years and six months is military service:
for a total work experience of 25 years - 50 percent of the base amount;
for each year of work experience over 25 years - 1 percent of the base amount.
There are also a number of monthly, annual and one-time additional payments to military pensioners, provided for by the current legislation of the Russian Federation. Here are just some of the allowances:
"Presidential" (240 rubles!);
disabled as a result of military service;
disabled as a result of an illness received during military service;
disabled persons of group I or those who have reached the age of 80 for caring for them;
non-working pensioners with disabled dependents.
Compensation for the lease (sublease) of residential premises. Often it is received by a court order.
Compensation for spa treatment. These are the same 600 rubles. plus 300 for the wife.
Payment of funds to pay for the cost of vouchers for school-age children (up to 15 years old inclusive) in the organization of recreation and health improvement of children (up to 75 percent of the cost of the voucher). This year there were difficulties in obtaining it.

Note: the average value of DD is indicated here, taking into account the main allowances;
Pay attention to the general's DD. They say that "to be a colonel is destiny, to become a general is luck." For comparison: the driver of a subway train - up to 60 thousand rubles; assistant - up to 40 thousand rubles. (training for six months); apron cleaner - 25 thousand rubles. (no training required), social package, housing are provided.
SIZE OF MILITARY PENSION

| Min. | Max. | |
| Private | 2800 | 5200 |
| Sergeant | 3200 | 6000 |
| Ensign | 3500 | 6600 |
| Art. pr-shik | 3800 | 7100 |

| Colonel general | 17 600 | n / a |
| Army General | 19 000 | n / a |
Note: the calculation of the pension is taken for the fall of 2009. Additional payments are not included. It should be borne in mind that from January 1, 2010, the amount of the pension, taking into account the allowances provided for by law, cannot be lower than the subsistence minimum for a pensioner established in the constituent entity of the Federation. If the estimated size of the pension is lower, non-working pensioners are assigned additional payments from the federal or regional budget.
* n / a - no data.
The secret of focus
Anyone who carefully looked at the tables of monetary allowance and military pensions must have noticed a huge difference in numbers. The fact is that a huge number of additional payments, allowances and compensations are not taken into account in any way when assigning pensions. For the calculation of pensions, no more than 20% of the DD received by active military personnel is taken into account.
And even according to the draft law on financial reform in the army (if it is adopted), this value will practically not change from 1.01.12. And only by 2020 it can increase up to 50%. Here the idea of the authors of the reform is not difficult to unravel - to "tear off" the size of pensions from the size of the DD of the military personnel. And save on storage. Thus, one of the most important incentives is lost: having received decently during the service, after being fired, they will find themselves in the ranks of not too wealthy citizens.
What do we have and what are we waiting for?
At the end of last year, Speaker of the Federation Council Sergei Mironov said that the share of military families with incomes per family member less than the subsistence level is one and a half times higher than in Russia as a whole: “As a result, every second family of servicemen is not satisfied with their financial situation ". And the First Deputy Chief Military Prosecutor, Lieutenant General of Justice Aleksandr Mokritsky, added: “While the rate of income growth of military personnel is much lower than in the country as a whole, the difference between the monthly aggregate monetary income of a civilian and military family is about 50%, which affects the state of law and order in Armed Forces ".
And the State Duma promised that from January 1 of this year, the DD of servicemen and military pensions will be increased by 6.5%. But it didn’t happen. And when will it happen?
"In the fall of 2010, we, as promised, will consider the issue of raising the salaries of state employees, as well as the monetary allowance of military personnel and military pensions, student scholarships," Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said on April 20, "We will do this taking into account the state of the budget."
And what salary is given to a foreign soldier?
Azerbaijan
DD for conscripts - about $ 5 per month. The contractor (private) has $ 35 - 40. But the lieutenant already receives about $ 600, and the general - a little more than $ 1200. But the state is very reluctant to give debts for unused days off, for unreleased uniforms and food, for being in a combat zone, etc.
Armenia
A conscript soldier receives about $ 3 a month. The rank and file joke: “We are C grade! In Soviet times, they received three rubles, and now - three dollars! The officers claim that their material status is much higher than that of an ordinary resident: the average salary of a teacher in a school is from $ 30 to 50. And the DD for officers averages $ 400 - 470, warrant officers - $ 250 - 285, contract soldiers - $ 200 - 230, and civil servants - $ 100 - 155.
Belarus
For syabrov, DD consists of salaries by rank and position, seniority allowances and bonuses, which increase it by about 1.5 times. And no bonuses? Then a private contract soldier receives $ 200 - 230, a warrant officer - $ 250 - 300, a lieutenant - $ 280 - 380, a major lieutenant colonel - $ 400 - 500. Achievement premium - $ 33. The major's pension is $ 200, the lieutenant colonel's $ 265. For comparison: the average salary in Belarus is $ 356, and for officials - $ 505. Drafted soldiers and sergeants receive $ 4 - 5 per month.
Georgia
Part of the Georgian army (which is being trained according to American military programs) has long been financially supported by the United States. Thanks to this, Saakashvili in 2004 was able to increase the salaries of the "elite" military immediately by as much as 300%. And their average salary jumped to $ 232.
Now the average DD for officers of the "elite" is $ 600. Officers of simple units receive 2 - 3 times less. And when, in August 2008, Saakashvili was preparing to march on Sukhum and Tskhinvali, he increased the payroll for intelligence officers by $ 180 a month at once. At the same time, the tie eater promised connoisseurs of foreign languages (presumably, Russian) an extra charge of $ 90.
Moldavia
DD "focuses" on the average salary in the republic - $ 600 lei (42 euros). Until recently, military salaries were only 5 - 8% higher. Now for contract soldiers and junior officers, they have been slightly increased - the DD increased by 10% of the average salary in the country. But senior officers (major, lieutenant colonel, colonel) receive from $ 75 to $ 140 per month with all allowances. A conscript soldier receives a little over $ 3. By the way, the government has repeatedly and in all seriousness stated that the malicious rumors launched by the opposition that salaries are given to the military by oats are just rumors.
Ukraine
In the Independence Square, the average salary is $ 240. And the lieutenant of the platoon commander receives $ 180 - 190. The captain - $ 300. "A Ukrainian captain with a higher education earns less than a Kiev janitor," noted the Ukrainian network newspaper Focus. Army majors get $ 350 a month. Lieutenants of the SBU - the security service of Ukraine (analogous to our FSB) - start their careers at $ 200 - 250 per month. The average salary of an SBU officer is $ 400. At the end of March, the Cabinet of Ministers proposed increasing the length of service required for retirement to 30 - 35 years, and limiting the military pensions themselves to $ 700.
Kazakhstan
The salary of a private conscript is $ 24 per month. Contract soldiers and sergeants receive $ 250 - 300. And those who have served 10 years - $ 400. Lieutenant - $ 470 per month. On average, officers receive $ 670 - 700. General of the Army - $ 380 only "for the stars." There are compensations and surcharges. For example, utilities - $ 23 per month and medical - up to $ 200 per year. A year and a half ago, the monthly DD of the servicemen of Kazakhstan was immediately increased by as much as 40%. The leadership of the Ministry of Defense of the republic argues that in terms of DD, the Kazakh army will soon surpass any armed forces of the CIS.
Kyrgyzstan
DD for a conscript soldier - $ 3 per month. Contractors are paid $ 65-70. Junior officers (from lieutenant to captain) receive up to $ 200. Majors, lieutenant colonels and colonels - up to $ 300. For comparison: in Kyrgyzstan, the chief architect of the district receives $ 30, and an ordinary employee of a state enterprise - $ 10-15. equal to $ 300. But even such a measure did not affect the DD of servicemen in any way.
Tajikistan
There are so few military DDs that they are ashamed to give numbers. For example, a colonel of the Tajik army receives $ 120-130 per month. This is almost 2 times less than a Russian contract sergeant has. And the DD of a Russian contract sergeant from the 201st brigade (stationed in Dushanbe) is about 10 times higher than the salary of a sergeant in the Tajik army. An ordinary conscript soldier is paid $ 1.5 per month. Lieutenant - $ 56, Major - $ 80.
By comparison, a Tajik teacher makes $ 20 a month.
Turkmenistan
There are legends about the money that Turkmen officers receive. According to official Turkmen media, the salaries of the military are so high that they exceed the salaries in other armies of the CIS. But this, it turns out, is just propaganda boast. In fact, everything is like this: a private gets $ 3, 5, a lieutenant - $ 250, a major - $ 450, a colonel - $ 650. Defense Minister - $ 3,000
Uzbekistan
The conscript receives $ 2. Contract Soldier - $ 60 DD for junior officers is $ 120 - 130, senior officers - $ 200. This does not even reach the official national average of $ 220 (however, real wages rarely exceed $ 60 - 70).
Latvia
The formidable Latvian army numbers 4,800 and is ruled by a major general. But the table of ranks is made for growth: it includes lieutenant generals and vice admirals. Which, however, do not yet exist. But if they were, then with a term of service of 25 years, "ghosts" would receive $ 2421. But the lieutenant is unfastened $ 781 (with the national average "on paper" at $ 995). An instructor corporal has $ 705, a private one has $ 603. A big plus is the additional payment for special education and a monthly compensation for renting an apartment of $ 180.
Lithuania
The Lithuanian army has 12 thousand people. The private contractor is due $ 300, the sergeant - about $ 590 per month. The salary of a lieutenant - $ 660, a captain - $ 880, a major - $ 1030, a colonel - $ 1100, a general - $ 1300.
Estonia
Under arms - 5400 people (2700 personnel and 2700 conscripts). Here's how they get paid: General - $ 2560, Colonel - $ 2200, Major - $ 1300, Lieutenant - $ 1000, Sergeant - $ 980, Private - $ 730. Assessing the financial situation of the Baltic military, we can draw a general conclusion: the smaller the army, the thicker the wallet.
Hungary
For an ordinary contractor with allowances for transport, food, clothing and vacation coupons, it comes out somewhere around $ 800. By the way, this is the average salary in the country. For officers, the stakes are higher: the lieutenant has $ 1300 plus allowances ($ 130 - 200). The colonel is already receiving $ 2,730 plus allowances.
Germany
If the data on the DD of the military in the former republics of the USSR or the countries - participants of the Warsaw Pact must be collected on a poppy seed, then the Germans have no financial secrets from anyone. Go to the website of the Ministry of Defense and read. A lot of interesting things.
DD in the Bundeswehr is one of the highest among NATO armies and is regularly increasing. The basic salary depends on the rank and length of service, and the general preferential allowance depends on the tariff group and marital status. Military personnel with children receive monthly child benefits: $ 125 for one child, $ 250 for two, $ 565 for three, $ 880 for four, and $ 132 for each additional child.
In addition, there are allowances for each overtime hour of service - from $ 0.88 to $ 3.75, depending on the position. Air Force flight crews pay up to $ 611 per month. Regular skydiving personnel have a $ 150 supplement per month. Special forces and combat swimmers - $ 1,170 to the basic salary. Surface ship personnel - $ 105 per month, and submariners - $ 300. On long hikes, another $ 150 is added. Travel allowances depend on the category of the travel area. There are six such categories. The first is where the living conditions are slightly different from the points of permanent deployment. Nevertheless, get $ 33 per day! The second is living in tents, difficult living conditions, life support costs and calls to loved ones. You can't do less than $ 53 per day. The highest category, sixth, is life-threatening war zones. Here payments are $ 120 per day. In addition to money, the Bundeswehr is lured into the opportunity to get an education and one of 60 civilian specialties.
United Kingdom
In Her Majesty's army there are only contract soldiers. At first glance, they are paid well. But General Sir Richard Dunnutt called the most pressing problem … the "extremely low" salaries of military personnel: they say, workers in car parks earn more than soldiers on the front line.
France
All military personnel taking part in missions abroad are entitled to allowances equal to the salary. And also in France there is a Legion Etrangere - Foreign Legion. Here the ensign - with military and foreign - is paid $ 5650. In addition to the salary - bonuses depending on the task performed. Clothing, food, housing and medical care are free. They accept everyone from 17 to 42. They are not interested in citizenship and morality.
Even the servant of an officer is paid in India
Officers are the elite of Indian society. They get about $ 1000 a month. The average income of Indians is about $ 100. Food and accommodation for officers is at the expense of the state. Plus, they have discounts on any goods up to 50% in specialized stores. The officer is given a house, and if he has a family, the area of housing is determined by the number of its members. Housing (with subsequent privatization) is allocated immediately after the assignment of the first officer rank. Every officer - from the company commander and above - has the right to acquire a military servant (sahayak). A servant, or orderly, lives in the officer's house and receives a salary from the budget. An Indian officer is eligible for additional state-funded extramural education. And also - on a two-month annual vacation with "wellness" rupees.
Israel
Privates, depending on the place of service, receive $ 100 - 200 per month. A single soldier is paid double salary: pay for an apartment and a "communal". And if his parents live abroad, once a year during the service, he is entitled to 21 days of leave to visit relatives. And the ticket is paid both ways!
The average salary of a general was $ 11,000 per month. The lieutenant receives about $ 1200, and the army complains all the time about the low salaries of the lower-level officers. However, when it comes to salary increases, they are usually received by senior officers. If their average salary rises by about 7% per year, then junior officers are content with an increase of 1.5%.
