This calculator works out Russian sick pay (пособие по временной нетрудоспособности) for a sick leave that starts in 2026, by Federal Law 255-FZ and the Regulation approved by Government Decree 1540.
The two years. Average earnings come from the two calendar years before the illness: 2024 and 2025. Each year counts up to its maximum contribution base, 2,225,000 roubles for 2024 and 2,759,000 for 2025, and the total is divided by 730. The average day therefore cannot exceed 6,827.40 roubles.
The percentage. For your own illness or injury: 100% with 8 or more years of insurance, 80% with 5 to 8 years and 60% under 5. Illness within 30 days after a job ended is paid at 60%. Care for a sick child under 8 is paid at 100% whatever the insurance length.
The minimum wage. When the two years average less than the minimum wage a month, the average day is 27,093 × 24 ÷ 730 = 890.73 roubles. When the benefit for a full month would be below 27,093 roubles, each day is paid as 27,093 divided by the days of that month, so a leave across two months is split by month. With under six months of insurance a full month cannot pay more than the minimum wage, except for a child under 8. In districts with a regional coefficient the minimum wage is raised by it.
Who pays. For an illness the employer pays the first three days and the Social Fund (SFR) the rest; for child care the Social Fund pays from the first day. Sick pay is taxed: NDFL is withheld at the rate your year has reached, 13% for most people.
What it does not do. Part-time work, the yearly day limits for child care, replacing 2024 or 2025 by earlier years after maternity or child-care leave, and reductions for breaking the doctor's orders are left out. The figures come from the texts read on 17 October 2026. For vacation pay, which uses 12 months and 29.3, see the vacation pay calculator.

Sick pay equals the average daily earnings times a percentage times the days of illness. The average is the 2024 and 2025 earnings, each up to its maximum base, divided by 730. On 80,000 roubles a month the day is 2,630.14 roubles, and 8 years of insurance pay 100% of it.
Under art. 7 of Law 255-FZ, 8 or more years of insurance pay 100% of average earnings, 5 to 8 years pay 80% and under 5 years pay 60%. On 80,000 roubles a month that is 2,630.14, 2,104.11 or 1,578.08 roubles a day.
Average daily earnings cannot exceed the two maximum bases divided by 730: (2,225,000 + 2,759,000) ÷ 730 = 6,827.40 roubles a day. A worker with 8 or more years of insurance and a high salary therefore receives at most 6,827.40 roubles for each day of illness in 2026.
For your own illness or injury the employer pays the first three days from its own funds and the Social Fund pays from the fourth day. Care for a sick child is paid by the Social Fund from the first day. NDFL is withheld from both parts, because sick pay is taxable income.
Average earnings cannot fall below the minimum wage: the day is then 27,093 × 24 ÷ 730 = 890.73 roubles, and a full month of benefit cannot be below 27,093 roubles. Under six months of insurance a full month cannot exceed 27,093 roubles either, except for a child under 8.
Care for a sick child under 8 is paid at 100% of average earnings, whatever the parent's insurance length, from the first day by the Social Fund. On 80,000 roubles a month in 2024 and 2025 each day of care pays 2,630.14 roubles before NDFL.
