Sick leave FAQ
How does length of service affect the sick leave amount?
The temporary disability benefit depends on your insurance length of service: less than 5 years — 60% of average earnings, 5 to 8 years — 80%, 8 years or more — 100%. With less than 6 months of service, the benefit is calculated from the MROT (minimum monthly wage) rather than your actual earnings.
What is the contribution ceiling and how does it affect the calculation?
The contribution ceiling is the annual cap up to which the employer pays social insurance contributions to the Russian Social Fund. Earnings above the cap are not counted for the sick leave calculation. The 2024 ceiling is 2,225,000 ₽ and the 2025 ceiling is 2,759,000 ₽ (per Government of Russia decrees). If your earnings exceeded the ceiling, the calculation uses the ceiling amount.
Who pays the sick leave — the employer or the state?
The first 3 calendar days are paid by the employer out of its own funds. From day 4 until the certificate is closed, payment is made directly to the employee by the Social Fund of Russia (SFR). Personal income tax (13%) is withheld from the entire benefit, both the employer's and the SFR's part.
Are the 2026 MROT and ceiling values final?
The applied MROT and contribution ceiling values may be adjusted by regulatory acts — federal laws and Government decrees. The calculator is updated as final parameters are published. For an official calculation, contact your employer's accounting team or the Social Fund of Russia.
