What is the maximum contribution base?
The maximum base for insurance premiums is the maximum amount of income of an individual at a particular employer, upon reaching which a regression occurs, that is, a reduction in the rate of assessed contributions on income above this maximum.
A regressive scale is used when calculating contributions only for compulsory health insurance and compulsory social insurance in case of temporary disability and in connection with maternity (VNiM).
There is no limitation on the basis for calculating contributions in relation to:
- health insurance (CHI);
- injuries and occupational diseases (NSiPD);
- additional tariffs for occupational safety and health insurance for workers in harmful and dangerous jobs;
- additional social security for members of civil air crews and a number of coal industry workers (clause 5 of Article 421 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
Contribution rates
The base for insurance premiums is determined for each insured person on an accrual basis from the beginning of the year. It must include all taxable payments. Until the base reaches the limit, contributions are calculated at standard rates. Next, the reduced ones are applied, if they are installed. All bets are shown in the following table.
Table 2. Tariffs for insurance of individuals
Type of contributions | Tariff within the base limit, % | Tariff over base limit, % | Tariff for SMEs for payments above the minimum wage | Tariff for IT companies |
Pension | 22 | 10 | 10 | 5 |
For temporary disability and maternity (VNiM) | 2,9 | — | 0 | 1,5 |
Medical | 5,1 | 5 | 0,1 | |
For injuries | 0.2-8.5 (law of December 22, 2005 No. 179-FZ) |
The table shows that when the limit is reached, the rate of contributions to the Pension Fund (as many still call pension contributions) decreases from 22 to 10%. There is no need to pay contributions for illness and maternity in excess of the base limit. Medical deductions should be calculated at a rate of 5.1%, regardless of the employee’s income. The rate of contributions for injuries is individual for each employer and depends on the risk class of its main activity.
The size of the maximum base in 2021
Limitations on employee income for calculating insurance premiums for 2021 are determined by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of November 26, 2020 No. 1935.
Insurance type | Base limit 2022, rub. |
OPS | 1 465 000 |
VNiM | 966 000 |
In 2022 and in 2022, these amounts looked different:
Insurance type | Limit base, rub. | |
2019 | 2020 | |
OPS | 1 150 000 | 1 292 000 |
VNiM | 865 000 | 912 000 |
Income for 2022 and 2022 should be taken into account when calculating payment for sick leave, employment and child care benefits in 2021, if there are no grounds for replacing these years with others.
How much has the contribution limit increased in 2020?
The maximum base for calculating pension and insurance contributions is indexed annually.
Taking into account the growth of the average salary in the country (as officials believe), the income from which contributions to the Social Insurance Fund are not paid and the percentage of payments to the Pension Fund decreases is increased. For Social Insurance contributions by 5.4%. For contributions to the Pension Fund - by 12%.
From January 1, 2022, the maximum base for pension contributions
will be
1,292,000 rubles
.
From January 1, 2022, the maximum base for contributions in case of illness and maternity
will be
912,000 rubles
.
In 2022, the base values were:
- for pension contributions RUB 1,150,000.
- for contributions in case of illness and maternity 865,000 rubles. accordingly (Government Decree No. 1426 dated November 28, 2018).
For contributions for compulsory health insurance and contributions for injuries, no maximum base is established. They are paid from the employee’s entire earnings during the year.
Amount of insurance premiums in 2021
Tariffs applied in 2022 to calculate insurance premiums:
Insurance type | Base limit, rub. | Tariff before excess, % | Tariff after exceeding, % |
OPS | 1 465 000 | 22 | 10 |
VNiM | 966 000 | 2,9 | 0 |
Compulsory medical insurance | Absent | 5,1 | |
NSiPZ | Absent | 0.2 – 8.5 depending on risk class |
Such features of the application of insurance rates before and after reaching the base limit in 2022 are established for absolutely all employers (organizations, individual entrepreneurs, individuals) in relation to employees.
Example 1
The salary of legal adviser Morozov I.I. in 2022 is 1,650,000 rubles.
We will calculate insurance premiums for 2022 insurance premiums:
- OPS - RUB 382,380. (1,465,000 * 22% + 185,000 * 10%);
- VNiM - 28,014 rubles. (966,000 * 2.9% + 684,000 * 0%);
- Compulsory medical insurance - 84,150 rubles. (1,650,000 * 5.1%);
- NSiPZ - 3,300 rubles. (1,650,000 * 0.2%).
Limit value of the insurance premium base – 2021
Legislators review contribution limits annually. For 2021, the amounts of restrictions are given in Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated November 26, 2020 No. 1935.
The maximum base for calculating contributions for 2022 is:
- for OPS RUB 1,465,000;
- for social insurance 966,000 rub.
For calculations, income is taken into account on an accrual basis from January 1 of the current year, for each individual separately. Let's give an example of using limits in accruals.
Example
The employee's salary is 138,500 rubles. In 2022, he earned 1,662,000 rubles. That is, the salary accrued to the employee for the current year is greater than the maximum base for calculating contributions for 2022:
- for contributions to compulsory pension insurance - from November 2022 (for January-October 138,500 x 10 months = 1,385,000 rubles, in November the salary from the beginning of the year amounted to 138,500 x 11 months = 1,523,500 rubles);
- for contributions to the Social Insurance Fund for VnIM - from July 2022 (from the beginning of the year to June 138,500 x 6 months =831,000 rubles, until July inclusive 138,500 x 7 months =969,500 rubles).
Therefore, the company’s accounting department, when calculating contributions for 2022, used 2 tariffs - regular and reduced. Total contributions accrued:
1) for OPS 1,465,000 x 22% + (1,662,000 – 1,465,000) x 10% = RUB 342,000, incl. :
- from January to October 138,500 x 22% x 10 months. in the amount of 304,700 rubles, 30,470 rubles each. per month;
- for November: within the limit (1,465,000 - 1,385,000) x 22% + above the limit (1,523,500 - 1,465,000) x 10% = 23,450 rubles;
- for December, because the entire amount is 138,500 x 10% = 13,850 rubles;
2) in social insurance 966,000 x 2.9% + (1,662,000 – 966,000) x 0% = 28,014 rubles, i.e.:
- from January to June for 4016.50 rubles, totaling 138,500 x 2.9% x 6 months. = 24,099 rub.;
- in July only from the difference exceeding the limit: (966,000 – 831,000) x 2.9% = 3915 rubles.
3) in health care, because there are no established limits, contributions were transferred from the entire amount of earnings, a total of 138,500 x 5.1% x 12 months. = 84,762 rubles, 7063 rubles each. per month.
4) in the Social Insurance Fund for NSiPZ, the company’s tariff is 0.6%, so contributions amounted to 138,500 x 0.6% x 12 months. = 9972 rub.
According to the special assessment, the employee’s position is not recognized as harmful or dangerous, therefore additional tariffs of the Pension Fund of Russia are not applied.
In total, for 2022, the company transferred contributions for the employee: to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation 342,000 + to the Social Insurance Fund for VnIM 28,014 + to the Federal Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund 84,762 + Social Insurance Fund for NS 9972 = 464,748 rubles.
Maximum base of individual entrepreneur contributions in 2021
In addition to contributions to the funds from the salaries of his employees, an entrepreneur who has hired staff calculates and pays insurance premiums for himself. For the income of individual entrepreneurs, the state has also established maximum amounts of the base and contributions.
The established (fixed) amount of contributions to the entrepreneur’s pension insurance in 2022 remains at the 2020 level and is equal to 32,448 rubles.
In 2022, the benefit that was in force in 2020 to support entrepreneurs doing business in the most affected areas of the economy during the period of restrictive measures aimed at combating the Covid-19 pandemic will cease to apply. For such individual entrepreneurs, fixed income insurance premiums in 2022 were reduced by 20,318 rubles (32,448 rubles minus the minimum wage).
The maximum income of an entrepreneur, up to which a fixed amount of contributions is applied, is 300,000 rubles. Over 300,000 rubles, the contribution rate for compulsory health insurance is 1%. At the same time, the maximum amount of contributions (fixed and from the excess amount in total) of an individual entrepreneur is set at 259,584 rubles. That is, no matter how much an entrepreneur earns, his contributions to the compulsory pension insurance will still amount to no more than 259,584 rubles.
The amount of fixed contributions for compulsory health insurance in 2022 is also equal to the amount in 2022 - this is 8,426 rubles. The amount of income received does not matter here.
Example 2
The total income of individual entrepreneur A. A. Sidorov for 2022 is 7.5 million rubles.
Fixed contributions will be:
- for OPS - 32,448 rubles,
- for compulsory medical insurance - 8,426 rubles.
Contributions from an amount exceeding the established limit are equal to 72,000 rubles. ((7,500,000 - 300,000) * 1% ).
Example 3
The total income of I. I. Sokolov for 2022 is 30 million rubles.
Fixed contributions will be:
- for OPS - 32,448 rubles,
- for compulsory medical insurance - 8,426 rubles.
Contributions to the Pension Fund for amounts greater than RUB 300,000. in this case will be equal to 227,136 rubles8), since the contribution limit has been reached.

How to calculate SME pension contributions if the employee's payments exceed the base limit in 2022?
If the amount of payments in favor of the employee, determined on an accrual basis from the beginning of the billing period, exceeds the established limit value of the base for calculating insurance contributions for compulsory health insurance - 1,565,000 rubles, then the amounts of such excess are subject to SME insurance premiums for compulsory health insurance at a rate of 10% .
Example.
Calculation of insurance premiums for SMEs if the maximum base for compulsory insurance is exceeded in 2022 Employee salary for January - September 2022 - 1,400,000 rubles. The salary for October was 200,000 rubles. Total for January – October: RUB 1,600,000. The excess of payments over the maximum base value in October amounted to RUB 35,000,000. (RUB 1,600,000 – RUB 1,565,000). This means that for October the employee falls within the limit on the maximum base in the amount of 165,000 rubles. (RUB 200,000 – RUB 35,000). Therefore, in October, the calculation of insurance premiums will be as follows: 1. (RUB 165,000 – RUB 13,890) x 10% = RUB 15,111. 2. 13,890 rub. x 22% = 3055.8 rub. The portion of payments exceeding the maximum base is taxed at a rate of 10%: 35,000 x 10% = 3,500 rubles. Total for October 2022, contributions to the compulsory pension insurance will be: 15,111 rubles. + 3055.8 rub. + 3500 rub. = 21,666.8 rub. Similarly, you need to calculate insurance premiums for OSS for VNIM.
