Learning information about the size of your future pension
If a citizen works officially, the employer pays 22% of his earnings to the Pension Fund. But they are not deducted from it, since they have nothing to do with the 13% VAT. 22% is compensated by the company where the person works. Until 2014, this 22% was divided in a ratio of 16 and 6% between the parts of the pension: insurance and funded. Now that the “savings” part is frozen, all 22% of contributions are transferred to pension insurance.
The person's future pension is formed from the transfers paid by the employer. In connection with the new reforms, it became clear that the primary task of every officially working person is to earn as much as possible. The amount of future pension provision for each citizen directly depends on the amount of income.
Organizations holding information on pension savings
For the working population of the country, money is automatically deducted from each salary to the pension fund, which will add up to the total amount after the transition to a well-deserved rest. It should be taken into account that such contributions are divided into two main parts - insurance and funded pension. In the second case, you can independently select the desired non-governmental organization, in whose accounts an accumulation of 6 percent of official earnings will be deposited. Everything else goes to the Pension Fund. This division contributes to an increase in the standard amount of payments to pensioners.
All deductions from official income are controlled by government agencies and, by default, are transferred to the required account of the responsible organization. You can change the non-state fund at your discretion, but situations of confusion may arise. A citizen may forget where his savings are. To prevent a similar situation from recurring, it is recommended to periodically check the information about the holder of your income accruals. Such issues are dealt with by authorized agencies, which can provide up-to-date information and statistics for a specific user free of charge. These include:
- Regional centers of the pension fund of the Russian Federation. Accurate information is contained in the organization’s file for each person. The staff will take your application and provide the necessary information.
- If they are officially established, then the accounting department of the company or enterprise should contain such information, and it is not confidential and every employee can request it.
- Banking organizations. There is a list of financial companies and banks for which data on pension savings is freely available. It is enough to submit a request for a certificate.
- Internet resources, among which the unified portal of public services occupies a special place.
Such departments have the information you need and should provide it upon your first request.

We use a special calculator
It first started working in 2015. It's easy to use. His work is based on the postulate: the more money a person has earned in his life (meaning official income), the more he will receive in his well-deserved retirement.
A pension calculator is a service that takes into account the following indicators:

- army;
- Holiday to care for the child.
According to the new reform, the more a person works and does not retire, the larger the amount he has the right to claim.
To forecast the amount of payments, you need to visit the official PFR website. It is located at: https://www.pfrf.ru.

On this same page, anyone can use a special option called “Pension Calculator”.
The advantage of using the Pension Calculator is that you do not have to register to use it. Just go to the Pension Fund website and use a calculator to make the necessary calculations. Identity verification is also not required.
To use this option you must enter the following information:
- floor;
- year of birth;
- number of years spent on aircraft;
- maternity leave;
- years of work;
- the amount of earnings received.
To correctly calculate future payments, the user must provide additional information:
- The number of years that will be spent caring for a relative (disabled people, people over 80 years old), without officially working.
- How the person’s labor activity is carried out, in what status: self-employed. Individual entrepreneur, hired labor.
Information must be entered in the appropriate fields of the request. After this, the user will see the amount of future payments and the total length of service. If desired, you can obtain detailed information regarding the nuances and procedure for the formation of savings that will be paid to a person when he retires.
How do I find out which NPF I am a member of?
You can find out the name of the non-state pension fund to which the funded part of the pension is transferred in different ways. You can even get the information you need via the Internet.
Personal appeal
Methods of obtaining information can be divided into 2 types: those in which you need to personally visit any institution, and those where everything is done via the Internet. For example, you can contact a non-state pension fund, where, as you assume, your pension savings are located . To find out which fund you are in, take your identification document with you so that the fund staff can provide you with the necessary information.
At the place of work
You can determine in which NPF your pension funds are stored in the accounting department of the company where you are employed. The accounting employee who is responsible for paying taxes will provide you with information about the organization in which you are registered.
In the bank
It is possible to obtain information about your own pension by visiting a banking organization that is a partner of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation in the OPS.
Currently in the Russian Federation only 4 banks correspond to this description:
- Gazprombank;
- "Sberbank";
- "UralSib";
- "VTB Bank of Moscow".
To obtain the necessary information, you will need to bring an identification document with you.
To the Pension Fund
You need to visit the Pension Fund office located at your registered address and submit an application. You must take with you a Russian passport or a document that replaces it. Also take your SNILS number with you (if available). Pension Fund employees will determine from the database where your pension is stored and provide the necessary information within ten days.
Online services
You can determine which NPF you are attached to through the official PFR website. To do this, go to the Pension Fund website, log in to your personal account and submit an application through the online reception. The answer will be sent to you by email within a month.
You can also go to the website of the NPF where your pension is supposedly stored and submit an application through it. The disadvantage of this method is that you will not be able to submit applications to all NPFs, so it is easier to immediately use the PFR Internet reception.
Through government services
Currently, the most convenient method is to use the government services website. User requests for information are processed in a couple of minutes. In addition, the government services website is accessible at any time.
To find out which NPF you are a member of through the government services website, use the following algorithm:
- Go to the government services website to create an account (if you don't already have one).
- Choose a method of identity verification that suits you (a special activation code can be obtained both at the branch and through the postal service). If you receive a code via mail, the procedure may take up to a month.
- Enter your personal information in the form.
- Once you receive the activation code, enter it in the appropriate field and confirm the procedure.
- Log in to your account, go to the “Electronic Services” section.
- Find the item “Pension Fund of the Russian Federation”, click on it.
- Click on the button “Informing insured persons about the status of their individual personal accounts in the unified system of compulsory pension insurance.”
- Click on the “Get service” button. The required data will be shown to you within 2 minutes.
The service is provided completely free of charge, no state fee is required.
Using SNILS
SNILS will be useful to you if you plan to obtain information about your pension through a personal visit to the Pension Fund, Non-State Pension Fund or bank. It is presented together with an identification document.
SNILS is also needed for authorization on the website of government services and the Internet portal of the Pension Fund of Russia. In addition, using SNILS you can check the status of your individual personal account (IPA).
To do this, follow this algorithm:
- Go to the FIU website.
- Go to the “Citizen’s Personal Account” section.
- Find the “Get information about generated pension rights” button in the “Formation of pension rights” subsection. Click on it.
- Now you need to log in to the government services website. If you are already registered there, indicate your SNILS and password. You can also use your e-mail address to log in instead of SNILS. If you are not registered on the government services website, create an account on it.
- Your work history will be shown in your personal account. You can submit a request to receive the information you need by clicking on the button “Information about experience and income reflected on the ILS.”
- You will see information regarding periods of employment, employers, and the amount of pension savings. If you require an extract, click on the “Get information about the status of the HUD” button. The system will immediately create a doc file that can be saved and printed.
- Another additional option is the calculation of future labor pension. Click on the “Calculate future labor pension” button to see how many pension points (PB) you have been accrued.
Some websites offer users to instantly find out their own NPF using SNILS or passport data. They require you to provide details of documents that can later be used by them for fraud.
Another type of scam is charging money for a service. The website offers you to log in by sending an SMS to a specific phone number. Of course, after this the funds will be debited from the user’s balance. You cannot use such sites.
When changing NPF, you must remember the conditions in force since 2015 for insured citizens. So, you can transfer from one NPF to another maximum once every 12 months. To maintain investment income, it is advisable to change NPFs maximum once every 5 years. This way you can get the maximum profit from investing your employers’ contributions by the NPF.
To receive a pension and transfer it to another fund, you need to enter into an agreement with the new NPF. After this, submit an application to the old fund, attaching your passport to it. You will be transferred to the new fund after March 31 of the following year.
It also happens that a non-state pension fund is liquidated. In this case, the citizens’ money stored in it is transferred to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation within a period not exceeding 90 days from the date of the start of the liquidation process of the organization.
