Not every person will be able to independently calculate the correct district coefficient. This is because the data is constantly updated and the regions in which this concept still exists are constantly changing. Consider the example of the Altai Territory district coefficient.
Concept
The regional coefficient is affected primarily by the territorial location of the region. After all, residents of Krasnodar and Salekhard have to pay different amounts for utilities, they have different needs for clothing. Food prices in these cities also differ. That is why the same salary for a doctor in both cities will be sufficient or not.
Due to such a territorial difference, it was decided to introduce various kinds of allowances and a regional coefficient. The Altai Territory, as well as, for example, the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, has its own indicator. So, in the second case, a high coefficient, as it were, reconciles people with difficultliving conditions and work.
Summarize everything that has been said can be a definition. The district coefficient is an indicator by which the size of the increase in salary is determined. The indicator depends on the place of residence and work. But where did this concept come from? And also where is the district coefficient calculated: for the entire salary or for the salary? Let's turn to history.
Historical background
The district coefficient appeared in 1964 and was aimed at people working in the extraction of gas and oil. The main recipients of this allowance were workers and residents of the Khanty-Mansiysk and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrugs. In our time, the list of regions has expanded. Now they receive a district coefficient in the Altai Territory, Krasnoyarsk, and northern regions. But one should not think that the sum of this coefficient is the same everywhere. It is calculated for each region individually. Consider how the district coefficient is calculated in the Altai Territory.
How the district coefficient is determined
This indicator is calculated in the range from 1, 1 to 2. The largest of the coefficients is for residents and workers of Chukotka, Yakutia, as well as for those people who work at the enterprises of the Arctic Ocean. They get two extra paychecks.
Most people living in the north of Russia, in its European part, are content with coefficients ranging from 1.15 to 1.4. The increase in wages corresponds to fifteen and forty percent.
To correctly calculate the size of the district coefficient in the Altai Territory, the Far Eastern Region,Krasnodar Territory and other regions of our country add up all the factors that affect the life, he alth and work of people. These include weather conditions, the state of transport communications, the environmental situation, the level of danger of work. These indicators were approved back in 2011 and have not changed so far.
Bases for calculating the district coefficient
The size of the regional coefficient in the Altai Territory, Tyumen Region and other regions is set based on the following factors:
- how many additional payments to wages, including for seniority or some other;
- basic salary from the moment of employment;
- increases due to obtaining an academic degree, the level of skill in a speci alty and so on;
- compensation for dangerous working conditions and hazardous production;
- night surcharges;
- receipt of the thirteenth salary;
- payment for seasonal or temporary work;
- sick leave;
- money paid for part-time or part-time work.
If it's quite simple, then the district coefficient is added only to the main composition of the wages of employees. They may differ in purposes, grounds and content, but it is for them that accruals are made.
What is not the basis for accrual
There are payments that do not determine what regional coefficient in the Altai Territory will be. These include:
- average salary;
- percentage premium;
- vacation payments;
- travel allowances;
- simple, in which the employer is to blame;
- the time when an employee performs public or government work;
- requalification of an employee or advanced training;
- employee termination benefit;
- material assistance to an employee;
- payments for the birth of children;
- marriage payments;
- for natural disaster;
- for retirement;
- compensation for expenses related to work duties;
- bonuses for shift work in the extreme northern regions;
- expenses due to moving to another job;
- payments for the use of the employee's personal belongings by the employer;
- one-time bonus, which the head issues at his own discretion;
- payouts dedicated to professional day;
- anniversary awards;
- bonus in connection with obtaining a new title.
Coefficient for military and pensioners
Pension also depends on the district coefficient in the Altai Territory or any other region. But this only works as long as the pensioner lives in a region where a district coefficient is provided. If he leaves for another region that is more favorable in terms of climate, then the coefficient will be recalculated, or even completely canceled.
But military personnel receive wages with an even greater coefficient. In addition to other climatic conditions, arid regions, highlands and deserts are added for the military. Another point whichparticipates in the calculation of the coefficient, is the keeping of state secrets.

How to calculate the salary taking into account the coefficient
What is the district coefficient is already clear. It mainly depends on the location. Taking into account the data received, almost every employee will be able to calculate his salary, taking into account the coefficient. And also to understand where the district coefficient is charged: for the entire salary or for the salary. To do this, just the skills of multiplication are enough. For example, let's calculate the salary taking into account the indicator for a resident of Norilsk. If he receives about 35 thousand rubles, then we multiply them by 1.8. As a result, we get 63 thousand rubles. Naturally, the employee will not receive the full amount, but even taking into account all taxes, it comes out a lot.
Let's give another example, this time for the Altai Territory. The regional coefficient in Barnaul in 2018 for wages is 1.15. This means that with a salary of twenty thousand rubles and a coefficient bonus of 1.15, the final salary will increase by only three thousand rubles.
Minimum wage in Altai Krai
At the moment, the minimum wage in the Altai Territory (2018) with a district coefficient of fifteen percent is twelve thousand eight hundred thirty-seven rubles. In areas where the rate is twenty-five percent, it will be up to thirteen thousand nine hundred and fifty-three rubles.
According to previous years, the minimum wage in the Altai Territory in 2018 doubled with the district coefficient. In 2016it was only six thousand rubles. Now the state is planning to raise wages in the Altai Territory by twelve percent. It is important to understand what concerns state employees.
It is necessary to remember how much the district coefficient in the Altai Territory is: 1.15 in most districts and 1.25.
Coefficient of the Altai Territory
As can be seen from the table, in most administrative entities the district coefficient in the Altai Territory in 2018 was set at twenty-five percent. These are such districts as Aleisky, Shipunovsky, Baevsky, Khabarovsky, Blagoveshchensky, Uglovsky, Burlinsky, Tabunsky, Volchikhinsky, Suetsky, Yegorevsky, Slavgorodsky, Zavyalovsky, Rubtsovsky, Klyuchevsky, Romanovsky, Kulundinsky, Rodinsky, Mamontovsky, Pospelikhinsky, Mikhailovsky, Pankrushikhinsky, German, Novichikhinsky. Cities where the coefficient was increased - Yarovoe, Aleysk, Slavgorod.
All other cities and districts have not changed their fifteen percent ratio. For example, the district coefficient of the Altai Territory in the Soloneshensky district has not changed in any way and is still equal to fifteen percent.
Compensation or incentive?
Often people do not fully understand what this coefficient is. They do not understand what the regional coefficient is. Is it incentive or compensation? To dispel all rumors and speculation, let's look into this issue.
According to the law, the employer is obliged to pay wages, taking into account the regional coefficient, only to employees of the Far North and equivalent territories. Butthere is no limit on the amount of wages for which the regional coefficient is set. For this reason, the employer must increase the entire salary by this indicator, and not a part. Now to the question "what does the district coefficient mean?" we can confidently answer: this is a compensation payment.
District coefficient and allowances
What is the district coefficient in the Altai Territory in 2018, it has become more or less clear. But questions remain, most of which are asked by mothers on maternity leave or people with frequent he alth problems. First, let's look at what the district coefficient means when paying for sick leave.
Everyone knows that if an employee is temporarily unable to work, he receives benefits. The amount of such assistance is calculated based on the average earnings. In the case when the average salary is less than the minimum wage and the district coefficient in the Altai Territory, then the allowance is calculated according to the minimum wage. These situations are:
- the employee did not comply with the treatment regimen;
- the employee has less than six months of insurance experience in two years;
- he alth problems or injury due to alcohol intoxication.
Only in these cases, it can be expected that the sick leave is calculated taking into account the district coefficient. What is it and how is the situation if the average wage is more than the minimum wage? If the amount is greater or there is no earnings at all, then the regional coefficient in payments is not taken into account.
For women on maternity leave, the situation is necessaryparse separately. So, the calculation of the district coefficient for the allowance for caring for a child up to 1.5 years is as follows:
In those areas and localities where there is a practice of applying regional coefficients, the amount of payments for child care is determined taking into account these indicators. These coefficients are taken into account only if they were not taken into account earlier when calculating salaries.
It is worth recalling that from February 1, 2016, the allowance for the first child is 2910 rubles, the allowance for the second and subsequent children is 5820 rubles.
Probability of canceling the district coefficient
Many residents are very concerned about the possible abolition of the district coefficient in the Altai Territory and other remote regions. This excitement is due to long-standing conversations and gossip. An equally important issue is the size of this coefficient.
It is impossible to say exactly how the situation is developing. This is because not so long ago a law on the creation of a priority development area was adopted in the Far East. Soon, the same bill will be released in relation to the Altai Territory. This means that many enterprises will be exempted from paying district coefficients.
To get exemption, you need to do the following:
- Change the district coefficient for another cash payment. This reshuffle should be reflected in the employment contract.
- Employee must agree to the elimination of the district coefficient.
- The employer needs to provide an official salary that exceeds the living wage.
So far, only individual entrepreneurs have the opportunity to refuse the district coefficient. State and municipal organizations cannot do this.
Latest Updates
According to the data, Altai state employees receive twice as much to increase the minimum wage than planned. As a result, almost 1.7 billion were allocated to raise wages. All this is based on the regional agreement in the Altai Territory for 2018. The regional coefficient has not changed.
Northern payments
All over the country there are people who work in the North. Therefore, it is worth explaining what the northern allowance is and who is en titled to it.
The first thing I would like to note is that such an allowance is considered an additional payment of the same percentage to the salary. It is awarded only for work in certain areas of Russia, which have a very harsh climate.
What is the northern surcharge:
- After getting a job and after six months, ten percent is charged.
- After every six months, another ten percent is added. So, salaries can increase to the upper threshold of eighty percent, and in some places - up to one hundred.
- Territories that are considered the Far North, allow you to add these ten percent only after a year of work. You can also increase the interest up to fifty once a year.
- Young professionals who are under 30 years old receive double the allowance, i.e.twenty percent. They are eligible to receive this supplement starting from the first day of employment. But there is one condition: before starting work, the period of residence in the region should not be less than five years.
Payout details
Payment also depends on the working hours of employees:
- Shift workers and conscripts who work in the regions for periods, can also count on an additional payment on an equal basis with everyone else.
- Travelers, as well as employees whose work involves frequent travel, are also en titled to an additional payment. And it will depend on the place of the business trip, and not on where the main office of the company is located.
- People who combine jobs can also get extra pay, but only if the second job is in an eligible area.
- Workers who work from home or remotely only receive a co-pay if they live in a certain area and it is written in the contract.
Application of district coefficient
This surcharge applies:
- From the first days of the employee's work, it is added to the salary.
- To all rewards. As an example, a seniority supplement will do.
- To material allowances. For example, for an academic degree or a high level of qualification.
- To compensation payments. Hazardous working conditions, harmful conditions or night shifts are just right for this item.
- To salary for seasonal work. It is most often received by those who have a temporary employment contract.
- During the determination of the amount of financial assistance for disabledcondition.
- To salary for part-time work or part-time work.
District coefficient and pension
The district coefficient plays a huge role in the formation of pensions. But there are some nuances. For example, this: the Pension Fund has already accrued all sorts of coefficients. Therefore, the district coefficient should be applied only if the pensioner lives in the territory that is subject to the application of this coefficient. As soon as the pensioner leaves to live in another place, all coefficients are removed. In this case, the Pension Fund recalculates.
District and military coefficient
In addition to all the standard surcharges and benefits, there are even more advanced items:
- service in highlands, in arid and desert climates;
- preservation of state secrets.
How to find out your odds
The easiest way is to go to the State Services website. This is done as follows:
- You need to register first.
- Then enter your account.
- Find the "Surcharges" section and click on it.
- In this section, mark the desired region.
- Click on the "Get service" button.
It is important to remember that all information is provided free of charge. If you need a certificate of the district coefficient, you will have to wait for six days.
When it is not possible to use the site, you can find out all the necessary information from the Pension Fund. And about what district coefficient in the Altai Territory in 2018,too.
This article discusses everything related to the district coefficient, its value, the basis for accrual, and so on. It is important that all this was analyzed using the example of the Altai Territory, because usually this region remains on the sidelines. If there are any doubts about whether the coefficient is set or not, then you can see a very detailed table in the article. In case of serious problems, it is best to contact the nearest branch of the Pension Fund or, as mentioned above, get information on the official portal of the State Services.
