In 2026, the minimum wage will exceed the subsistence minimum by 31.2%.
The federal minimum wage (MROT) is currently 22,440 rubles (before personal income tax (NDFL)), although regional authorities may set higher amounts. From January 1, 2026, the minimum wage, according to the bill, will be 27,093 rubles, RIA Novosti reports. According to Deputy Labor Minister Dmitry Platygin, the new MROT will exceed the subsistence minimum for the working-age population by 31.2% and will amount to 48% of the median salary, which, according to Rosstat, reached 56,443 rubles in 2024. The 20.7% increase in the minimum wage will affect about 4.6 million workers across the country. The initiative was submitted by the government as part of the 2026–2028 budget package. Among the budget’s priorities are fulfilling social commitments, implementing national projects, and ensuring the country’s defense capability.
