For some reason, in Russia it is not customary to talk to each other about your income. Someone is ashamed, and someone is afraid that they will envy him. But where are the lowest wages in Russia?

According to the statistics...

The average Russian, according to Rosstat, earns 38.6 thousand rubles - this is the most recent data for January-August. Many will disagree with this figure. As a rule, the data is overestimated due to the calculation methodology - you can read about this problem in this one.

But even if you believe the same Rosstat, such salaries are high for the majority. in Russia there are more than 22 million people who receive income below the subsistence level, and only 37.9% of the population have incomes exceeding 35 thousand rubles a month.

In fact, in terms of wages, we have dropped even lower than the people of China. At the end of 2016, the average monthly salary in 34 major Chinese cities was 7,600 yuan, which in terms of dollars is about 1,153.7 dollars, and in rubles it will reach 66,500 rubles per month, which is sky-high for many Russians.

At the same time, the work of highly qualified workers, such as doctors, teachers of schools and universities, and engineers in many other specialties, is still low paid.

Where exactly should you not go to work?

Most patriots are proud that Russia is a huge country. We have thousands of kilometers of forests and fields, vast expanses and natural resources. But you must admit that the farther from the capital center, the lower the salaries, with the exception of the Northern regions. However, even in them surcharges successfully eat up crazy prices in stores.

In a number of particularly depressed regions, even first-class programmers will receive a penny, not to mention nannies, factory workers and local civil servants.

Some regions are not saved even by overestimated statistics. So, for example, in Kabardino-Balkaria the average salary is 21.09 thousand rubles per month, in the Republic of Dagestan - 21.3 thousand rubles per month, in Altai - 21.8 thousand rubles, and in Ingushetia 22.1 thousand rubles. At the same time, in 68 regions of the country the salary is lower than the average for Russia, and in 50 regions it does not even reach 30 thousand rubles a month.

It is also worth remembering that income tax of 13% and insurance premiums paid by the employer are still paid from this money. Thus, the amount “on hand” is about a third less than what Rosstat writes.

What are they saying on social media?

“In Kurgan, the average salary offered at work in the Employment Service is 12-15 thousand rubles. 200 euros. That is, this is already the level of Africa,” wrote in

If a parent has an official stable salary, then child support in Russia is assigned as a share of his actual earnings. Often, alimony payers stop working officially, do not register with the Center for Employment of the Population (CZN), and at some point stop paying funds for the maintenance of the child.

At the same time, maintenance debts begin to form behind them, the amount of which is determined based on the size (SZP) in Russia. According to Rosstat, as of November 2019, it amounted to 46285 rub. At the same time, only FFP is more than in the whole country.

The average salary in Russia is used to calculate child support if payments for a child assigned as a percentage, and payer:

• did not work (or did not work officially) during the period of debt formation;
• cannot provide documents confirming the amount of his earnings for this period.

Thus, at its core, the average monthly wage is a theoretical value, but bailiffs widely use it in practical application, in particular, and with.

When is alimony calculated from the average salary in Russia?

As you know, there are much more alimony debtors than conscientious payers, and the reasons for alimony debt can also be very different: from a real lack of a job to hiding income by the debtor. However, such factors do not relieve the "evaders" from their duties and do not bring particular difficulty to the bailiff: in relation to the debtor, it is formed and grows monthly.

Debt on payments is formed by a person liable to alimony no matter, which form of collection of funds is not performed by the "evader":

• between the payer and the recipient;

It is important to consider that the bailiff will calculate the debt in shares of the SFP only if child support has been assigned as a percentage of income parent.

The maintenance debt is determined by an authorized official of the FSSP based on the average wage in the Russian Federation, if during the period of debt formation the payer:

• was;
• did not provide documents confirming earnings or other income;
• was not registered in the employment center.

Calculation of debt on alimony from the average monthly salary in the Russian Federation

When a voluntary notarial agreement or a court decision on the recovery of alimony is not executed by the debtor, calculate the accumulated debt for payments for this person. This is done in order to:

• in the event of the subsequent employment of the debtor or the discovery of his other income, collect the accumulated debt in favor of the alimony recipient;
• on the basis of the resolution on the calculation of the debt, apply measures to the debtor to bring him to various (administrative, civil, criminal).

The main value used by the bailiff when is the average monthly salary in the Russian Federation. The use of this particular indicator for the Federal Bailiff Service (FSSP) is regulated three regulations:

• Part 4 Art. 113 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation;
• Part 3 Art. 102 of Law No. 229-FZ "On Enforcement Proceedings";
• "Methodological recommendations on the procedure for fulfilling the requirements of executive documents for the recovery of alimony"(approved by the FSSP of Russia on 06.2012 No. 01-16).

Art. 5.1 "Methodological recommendations ..." defines the main points for calculating debt from the average monthly salary for FSSP employees:

1. Information on the current average salary in the Russian Federation must be requested monthly from Rosstat or confirmed on its official website.
2. Personal income tax (PIT), equal to 13%, when calculating debt not withheld.
3. The moment of debt collection is considered date of actual repayment of the debt.
4. The calculation of alimony arrears must be carried out by an employee of the FSSP quarterly.

The debtor should remember that alimony debt will be calculated not by area of ​​residence payer or recoverer, and according to the indicator of the Russian Federation in order to protect the rights and legitimate interests of minors in whose favor alimony payments are accrued.

Since often the “statistical” average monthly salary in the country as a whole is much higher than the real income of a working citizen in most subjects of the Federation, then becoming a debtor for alimony in this case extremely unfavorable, first of all, for the payer himself(and vice versa - this is often more beneficial for the recipient of alimony).

An example of calculating debt by bailiffs from the average salary

The payer Petrenko N.N. received a monthly salary at the enterprise in the amount of 20,000 rubles, his maintenance obligations for 1 child, according to the court order, amounted to 1/4 of all types of income. Since Petrenko N.N. had no other income, the monthly payment for the maintenance of the child was 5,000 rubles.

Wanting to avoid payment obligations and hide his income, on December 1, 2018, Petrenko quit his job and got a job in a private company unofficially (without an employment contract). In March 2019, he received from the bailiff debt settlement order for alimony for 3 months from the average monthly wage (MSW) in Russia in the amount of 43,062 rubles. for February 2019:

• December 2018 - 10765.5 rubles (1/4 of FFP);
• January 2019 - 10765.5 rubles (1/4 of FFP);
• February 2019 - 10765.5 rubles (1/4 of FFP).

As a result, the debt Petrenko N. N. from 12/01/2018 to 03/01/2019 amounted to 32296.5 rubles It turns out that if this citizen continued to officially work at this or another enterprise and paid alimony in good faith, the amount of payments for the same period would be only 15000 rub.- which is 2 times lower.

Average salary in Russia in 2020 according to Rosstat

A very large variation in the average monthly wage across the regions of the Russian Federation makes it unprofitable for payers in most regions of Russia to be able to calculate alimony debts by bailiffs based on the average salary in the country.

So, according to the official data of Rosstat:

• the average salary in Russia as of November 2019 was 46285 rub.- it is this value that is used by bailiffs when determining the amount of alimony debt as of the beginning of 2020, since the SZP for other periods has not yet been determined;
• the maximum average monthly salary was registered in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug - 106922 rub.;
• minimum wage as of November 2019 - in the Republic of Dagestan - RUB 26644.8

Thus, the difference in income levels between residents of regions with the highest and lowest average monthly wages as of November 2019 was 106,922 - 26,644.8 = 80,277.2 rubles.

At the same time, out of 85 subjects of the Russian Federation:

• Total 19 regions have a salary higher than the average for the country (in these regions, the calculation of alimony debt from the average Russian salary of 46,285 rubles may be more beneficial for payers and unprofitable for recipients of alimony payments);
• in the rest 66 regions the level of salary is lower than the average Russian one (here, the use of the average salary for calculating alimony is more beneficial for the recipient and disadvantageous for the majority of payers).

Full data on the average salary in Russia as of November 2019 according to Rosstat are given in the table below.

In early 2008, when no one had yet anticipated a global economic crisis, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev mentioned that since the beginning of the new millennium, the salaries of Russians have been steadily rising. GDP growth over the same period was much more modest. Not only Dmitry Anatolyevich drew attention to the fact that it is necessary to increase labor productivity, but the next increase in wages can be postponed. Recall that in 2004 it was $242 (6,740 rubles at that time), in 2008 - $588 (17,290 rubles).

However, the question of why salaries are so low in Russia was asked then and continues to be asked now. On a direct line with the president - in a unique format of interaction between the head of state and ordinary citizens - the issues of the domestic economy (wages, jobs, youth employment) became one of the main topics in 2002, 2005, 2008, in 2014-2017 the discussion was held annually. After the crisis and during the period of sanctions, the government admitted that salaries in Russia are low.

Heavy nineties

Why are salaries low in Russia and, in general, are they small, speaking objectively? In the nineties, the standard of living of most Russians was determined solely by wages and social benefits, there was no talk of any additional income. And the graphs of average wages (especially in rubles) were distinguished by either rapid ups or crushing falls - a deep economic crisis was evident.

In April 1991, the average Russians was 495 rubles ($341 at the average annual rate corresponding to the time), in December of the same year - 548 rubles ($101.6). For this amount at the beginning of the year it was possible to buy 219 kg of potatoes (at the then prices), at the end - 182.6 kg. Further - worse. In 1992, the average salary was 5995 rubles or almost $24, in 1993 - 58.6 thousand rubles or $140, in 1994 - 220 thousand rubles or about $67.

If we talk about the percentage of wages to the level of 1991 (before the reforms), then in 1992 incomes amounted to about 68%, in 1995 - about 45%. The biggest drawdown in the schedule is observed in 1999, when the level of wages of the population stopped at about 32-35% of the income of 1991. Experts say that in the nineties the standard of living of the population decreased by 1.5-2 times - to the indicators of the sixties.

Non-payment of wages

At the same time, wages were not paid. This negative process covered the majority of the population (60% of workers) in all regions of Russia and most sectors of the economy. The maximum level of debt (69%) was observed in the north-west of the country, the debts were slightly lower in the Far East (67.9%), in the Urals and the North Caucasus (65.7-65.6%), in the Volga region (66%) . In Moscow and St. Petersburg, the debt amounted to almost 32%.

The trend towards improvement

The fact that improvements were coming could be said already at the end of 1998 - beginning of 1999. The demand for domestic goods increased, the volume of production increased, and exports in physical volumes increased. By the beginning of the new millennium, there was an increase in real incomes of the population. According to official statistics, the number of Russian citizens who live below the poverty line has also decreased. If in 2000 this stratum of the population was almost 30%, then by 2009 the poor became 13%.

According to official data, since 1992, the increase in wages in Russia in rubles has been observed constantly (the graph is presented below). But the domestic currency did not differ in the stability of the exchange rate. Another reduction in dollar wages occurred during the global economic year, then in 2012-2014. The last time the decline was due to the global fall in oil prices, the Ukrainian crisis and sanctions against Russia.

A Brief Overview of Average Salaries

Today, the average salary in Russia (2017) after deducting income tax is 30.8 thousand rubles. The minimum wage since June of this year is 7,800 rubles, the living wage for able-bodied citizens is 10,187 rubles. But Russia is too big a country to talk only about general figures - wages, the cost of goods, and the standard of living in general differ significantly in the regions.

The highest salaries in Russia by industry

In 2015, the highest salaries were in the oil and gas industry, financial analysts, mining and transport.

In 2016, the highest average salaries remained in the mining industry - 71 thousand rubles, in the fuel energy industry - 80.9 thousand rubles, mining - 51.2 thousand rubles. By the way, this is the usual salary of a janitor in Germany.

In the transport sector, the average monthly remuneration is 42.5 thousand. A driver of special equipment earns about 60 thousand, a loader - 46 thousand, a freight forwarder - 43 thousand, a mechanic - 40 thousand rubles. The salary of the driver is 29 thousand rubles.

Civil servants earn an average of 40 thousand monthly - this applies to department heads and middle managers. Senior management can be content with much higher salaries - about 68 thousand - almost like those of specialists working in the mining industry. The salary of state employees in Russia is much less.

Executives in almost every industry earn more than the average. So, for example, chief physicians, private doctors and directors of pharmacies can count on 65 thousand rubles, top managers in the hotel and restaurant business - 60-64 thousand rubles, foremen, foremen, masters of construction and dismantling works - 50-58 thousand rubles.

Other highly paid professions:

1. Narrow-profile specialists. Workers with a narrow specialization and practical experience find it more difficult to find a job, but their salary is much higher than that of ordinary employees. So, for example, the salary of civil aviation pilots in Russia is almost 300 thousand rubles with a flight time of 85 hours per month.
2. Programmers, system administrators and developers. In the nineties, there was a shortage of such specialists, an outflow of personnel abroad, now the market has not been saturated with highly qualified IT specialists. The professional is still missing. The average salary of a programmer is from 60 thousand rubles.
3. Internal Relations Managers. Such specialists are needed by large firms. Their responsibilities include ensuring contact between management and ordinary employees, ensuring loyal relations between employees, developing a corporate style, project work, and so on. Professionals with experience can receive 100-250 thousand monthly.
4. Accountants are considered highly paid workers, but this requires a specialized higher education, work experience of at least three years, and the ability to navigate the laws. Corporations are ready to pay highly qualified specialists 350,000 rubles.
5. A young practicing lawyer can count on 35 thousand, more experienced colleagues earn 150 thousand a month.
6. Sales and purchasing managers, logisticians, marketers, auditors. In the first case, it is necessary to understand the psychology of the consumer, the characteristics of the goods, in the second case, you need to know the customs system and logistics. Any specialist needs experience and professional education. The average salary is 25-50 thousand.

Lowest wages by industry

The number of citizens with incomes below the subsistence level in 2016 amounted to almost 20 million people (13.5% of the country's population). The average salary of doctors in Russia (as well as social workers and teachers) in 2016 increased by only 5%, in agriculture, textile production, forestry and hunting - 10%.

In manufacturing, seamstresses, craftsmen, technologists, specialists receive from 16 (clothing, textiles) to 32 (pulp and paper) thousand rubles. In food products, specialists can count on 28.8 thousand, manufacturers of footwear and leather products - 20.5 thousand, furniture, wooden goods - 22 thousand.

Ancillary workers and some representatives of working specialties earn within the same limits, although even here everything depends on many factors. The salary of a turner in Russia is 15-20 thousand rubles. But a specialist who has permits and work experience can already count on 30-40 thousand or more. The highest paid employees are considered (about 60 thousand monthly), who are ready for a rotational work method.

You have to be content with small salaries in the hotel and hotel business. Administrators, waiters, porters and maids receive from 20 to 25 thousand rubles a month. Cooks get a little more - 34 thousand.

Salaries of workers in education, medicine, law enforcement

In the medical industry, the situation is not rosy. Laboratory assistants have to be content with 14 thousand rubles a month, pharmacists and pharmacists - 24 thousand, nurses and junior medical personnel - 19-23 thousand. Little more is earned in education. The average salary of a teacher in Russia is 26.7 thousand rubles, but this is really very average data.

The salary of a janitor in Russia is an average of 15,000 rubles according to official figures, but in practice, such workers can receive only 3,000 to 6,000 rubles. How much do technicians and some employees of housing departments get? In this area, the work of the manager of an HOA or housing and communal services is considered the highest paid - 46-66 thousand rubles.

In the Ministry of Internal Affairs (as with many teachers or doctors), most of the salary is made up of various individual bonuses - for higher education, length of service, the presence of an officer's rank, dangerous working conditions, and so on. The average salary of a police officer is 30 thousand rubles. The bonus for conscientious performance of service can be from half the salary and more, for the risk to life and health - up to 100% of the salary, for special conditions (for snipers or cryptographers, for example) - up to 30% of the employee's salary without allowances.

So, the salary of a policeman who conscientiously serves, works in special conditions and has devoted more than 25 years to work, can be about 70 thousand. This is also without taking into account military rank, higher education, advanced training and performance indicators. Salary in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is difficult to quantify, as many variables affect the final amount.

Why "everyone is bad"

From the statistics it can be seen that the average salary of an ordinary employee allows him to provide him with a normal standard of living. But why then does everyone say that salaries in Russia are small? And why do official statistics and other data differ so much: statistics from open sources, public opinion polls?

Most likely, the fact is that those who receive enough will not speak out much, since everything suits them. But people who have to be content with low wages, as a rule, speak on behalf of everyone. That is why one gets the impression that "everyone is bad." But actually it is not.

Russian and European salaries

They especially like to mention low wages in Russia and European salaries. The lowest wages by European standards are in Romania ($684), Bulgaria ($591), Latvia ($1039), Lithuania ($867), Hungary ($1129). Most of all they receive in the Scandinavian countries ($ 4700-5800), France, Belgium, Austria, Germany. A little less - in Slovenia, Spain, Greece and Cyprus (an average of $ 2,500).

The salary of a police officer in Lithuania (salary only) is over $800, in France a trainee earns almost $2,000, and in Slovenia, $1,100. By the way, rallies are quite often held in the same Slovenia. The protesters demand a raise and are also dissatisfied with insufficient salaries.

Truck drivers in the Scandinavian countries receive 25-30 dollars per hour, an ordinary driver in France receives from 600 dollars a month. The salary of a public bus driver in Germany is a minimum of $1,500. A tram driver receives $3,500, and a construction machine operator $3,200. The salary of a turner in the same Germany is 2.5-3.5 thousand dollars.

The monthly remuneration of a pilot in Germany is 5.8 thousand dollars. This is $800 more than the salary of civil aviation pilots in Russia.

Comparison of standard of living

When comparing Russian salaries with European ones, another question is often forgotten - the cost of living in Russia cannot be equated with European ones. According to statistics, Russians spend 27.7% of their salary on food, in practice - half. Here is how much the same figure is in different European countries:

1. Lithuania, 33.7%.
2. Bulgaria, 33.2%.
3. Croatia, 31.7%.
4. Montenegro, 31.6%
5. Romania, 31.5%.
6. Latvia, 28.2%.
7. Estonia, 27%.
8. Poland, 24.9%.
9. Hungary, 23.5%.
10. Slovakia, 20.7%.
11. Greece, 20.4%.
12. Czech Republic, 20.2%.
13. Italy, 19.5%.
14. France, 16.4%.
15. Spain, 15.1%.
16. Iceland, 14.9%.
17. Slovenia, 14.3%.
18. Sweden, 13.5%.
19. Portugal, 13.3%.
20. Belgium, 13.2%.
21. Germany, 12.8%.
22. Finland, 12.7%.
23. Cyprus, 12.3%.
24. Ireland, 12.2%.
25. Austria, 12.1%.
26. Norway, 11.8%.
27. Switzerland, 11.5%.
28. UK, 11%.
29. Denmark, 10.6%.
30. Netherlands, 10%.

The leader is Luxembourg, whose citizens spend 8.6% of their total income per month on food.

The cost of living in Europe is much higher than in Russia, and high salaries do not always “cover” all the necessary expenses.

Nearest neighbors by GDP

So why are salaries low in Russia? In fact, Russian salaries are not at all low (there is a constant increase in remuneration for work), but correspond to reality. Yes, and it is much more reasonable to compare Russia with its closest neighbors, but not even geographically, but financially - with neighbors in terms of gross domestic product.

According to the International Monetary Fund, GDP per capita in Russia is 26.5 thousand dollars. The indicator provides the Russian Federation with 48th place in the ranking. The closest neighbors in terms of GDP are:

1. Latvia, 24.7 thousand dollars.
2. Greece, 26.3 thousand
3. Hungary, 26.5 thousand
4. Poland, 26.6 thousand
5. Kazakhstan, 24.9 thousand

Malaysia ($26.2 thousand), Antigua and Barbuda ($24.2 thousand), Saint Kitts and Nevis (25.1 thousand), Seychelles (26.3 thousand) and other countries are not taken into account, compared with which for Russia is at least strange and incomprehensible.

So, in Hungary, for example, with the same level of GDP per capita, the average salary is $600 per month, in Russia the same figure is $589. Hungarians working in the automotive industry earn an average of $1500, Russians - $750. Low-skilled workers in Hungary can count on $600 per month (a little over 35,000 rubles), highly qualified specialists - $1,200 (72,000 rubles).

It would seem that there is a higher wage, but then it's time to remember about European prices. In the same Hungary, you can rent a one-room apartment in the city center for at least 15 thousand rubles in terms of the national currency, in a residential area - for 7 thousand. The cost of housing and communal services - from 2 thousand rubles in summer to 10 thousand rubles in winter. The situation is the same with other expenses.

It can be concluded that the question of why wages are low in Russia becomes simply incorrect, because if we compare the economy of the Russian Federation with the economies of European countries that are similar in terms of basic indicators, Russians do not live in poverty at all, but at a quite decent level. Although, of course, one cannot deny the existence of problems in Russia.

Every year, researchers publish studies on salaries by city. Based on the results of these studies, we can conclude which of the cities is best to live in. So, let's make a small rating of Russian cities in terms of wages.

Volgograd

A hero city with a population of about a million people. Despite the fact that it is actively developing and is the most important transport center of the country, the average salary, according to Internet statistics, is not so high in this city. Despite the fact that a little more than half a century ago, the fate of the world order was decided here, on average, 24 thousand rubles are received here.

Nizhny Novgorod

One of the largest cities in Russia, the population of which exceeds 1,200,000 people. The city is famous for being one of the largest transport hubs in Russia. River tourism is well developed here. In this settlement, which is of great importance for the country, which is included in our rating of Russian cities in terms of wages, the average salary is 25,000 rubles.

Novosibirsk

The next place is located Novosibirsk, the largest Siberian city. It is still young, as it was founded in 1893. A lot of people live here - more than one and a half million. Despite the relatively young age, this settlement is growing and developing rapidly, the average salary in it is 26 thousand rubles.

Ufa

And here is the capital of Bashkortostan, the city of Ufa. The population exceeds one million one hundred thousand people. The most important transport hub, is of great importance for the economy, science and many other industries. Tourists can see here not only architectural monuments, but also modern buildings. The average level of earnings here is 27 thousand rubles.

Voronezh

And here is another million-plus city, located on the left bank of the Don River. The city has a good infrastructure and a developed healthcare system, which makes it quite an interesting place. The average salary here is 28 thousand rubles.

Kazan

And here is the main city of Tatarstan, whose population also exceeds a million people. In recent years, it has noticeably progressed - the infrastructure has improved significantly, a metro has appeared, a new station has been built. There are also sights worth seeing, as well as an average salary of 30 thousand rubles, which allowed this settlement to get into our rating of cities in terms of wages.

Krasnodar

Kuban city, famous for its Cossacks. Probably one of two cities on the list that doesn't have a million inhabitants. This is the largest center of the south of Russia, where houses grow like mushrooms. At the same time, the industry is well developed in it. An average salary of 31 thousand rubles allows him to be in our rating of cities in terms of wages.

Sochi

The Black Sea resort, the southern capital of Russia, the infrastructure of which has improved significantly thanks to the recently held victorious Olympics. About half a million people live here. The average salary is 32 thousand rubles.

Saint Petersburg

Here it is, the cultural capital of our country, located on the coast of the Gulf of Finland on the Neva River. There are many historical monuments and a lot of people - over five million people. The average salary is 35,000 rubles.

Moscow

The capital of the country concludes our rating of cities in terms of wages. Here, the average earnings parameter is 45,000 rubles. This is the largest city of the state, significantly different from the rest in terms of living standards. Even foreigners seek to find work here.

Numeric value average salary in Russia used to determine the amount of child support. This is due to the fact that the unit of wages calculated in this way determines the average level of wages of a certain group of the average population. Accordingly, the resulting numerical value can be used to calculate the average amount of maintenance payments, the final amount of which must partially or fully satisfy the financial needs of the recipient of the amounts.

However, there are many nuances and features associated with the calculation of alimony based on the average salary. This is due to the fact that these calculations can be applied both by attracting “high” and “low” indicators. Of course, for the lowest-income groups, the national average wage may be too high, which can lead to an increase in debt. As well as for regions where the average salary level is very high, the average value is the optimal beneficial amount.

As a rule, the arithmetic significance of the average salary is most often involved when it is necessary to determine the amount of debt for the payment of alimony for the past period. This option is optimal in view of the fact that the final amount of debt is determined based on the annual indicators of the average salary in the period when payments were not made.

According to the RF IC, the collection of debts for the payment of alimony can be made for the last 3 years, or from the moment when the debt was formed. The first option applies if the plaintiff is the direct culprit of the formation of the debt. For example, if the writ of execution was not presented for execution. The second option is used when the debtor is the direct culprit.

The following aspects apply to the final calculation of the amount of alimony arrears:

• First of all, the amount of alimony, which was originally determined, is taken into account. In this case, it is not important the moment in which exactly the specified amount was established: through a settlement agreement, or when a court decision was made.
• In addition to wages, alimony arrears also include shares of other types of earnings or income received by the defendant.
• If the defendant does not have officially registered income during the period of debt formation, the average wage rate is used to determine its final amount. which has been adopted regionally and nationally.

Accordingly, the average indicator is used only in cases where the debtor cannot document his own income.

Regulations

Family legal relations, including the procedure for deducting alimony, determining debts, methods of payment are regulated by several basic regulatory legal acts. So, the Family Code of the Russian Federation is called the main one. When carrying out any calculations of alimony, article 113 applies mainly.

Carrying out the procedure for collecting debts, its norms, rules, the procedure for the final calculation of alimony by the executive authorities implies the use of the Federal Law “On Executive Power”.
