How much does an average person earn per year. How much does a good standard of living cost in Russia? Women are more modest than men

How much you need to earn in order to live a normal life - every person must have asked himself this question, regardless of his gender, age, social status and other characteristics. And this is not about surviving from paycheck to paycheck, when every ruble, every penny counts, but about a decent life, ideally in your own apartment, with the ability to buy things not only from the necessary list, but also for your own pleasure. I.Q. Review figured out how much money must be received regularly to ensure such.

It is clear that for each person this figure can be different. For one of us, it will be enough to have our own apartment in a quiet area, the opportunity to do what we love and just live measuredly - naturally, in this case, the usual one will be enough for you (except, perhaps, buying an apartment). However, most people are unlikely to be satisfied with such a plot - many of us want to live in a spacious apartment closer to the city center, have a car (naturally, not a twenty-year-old “nine”, but a new foreign car), relax abroad, be able to buy what what you want and go where you want. Of course, such a life would require much more money. However, let's be realistic: to be able to live like this, you need to work hard. Next, let's take a closer look, how much exactly does the average Russian need to receive in order to be satisfied with his life.

How much-to-earn

How to determine how much money you need for such a life?

It is easiest to go to a goal that is clearly and precisely defined. Therefore, it is necessary to work not just for the sake of a “beautiful life”, but for the sake of obtaining a certain amount, which we will now try to calculate.

To begin with, think and write down on a sheet the most important purchases that you need for a normal life. First of all, this is your own apartment (if you don’t have one) and a car. For many people, the purchase of real estate and a car is the most important goal in life, and sometimes it takes decades to achieve it.

Decide what kind of housing and car you would like to have. Look on the Internet for approximate prices - so you can at least know the average amount you need to earn. Naturally, this figure will be very significant, even if you choose the most modest options. However, one should not give up and despair - with the desire and determination, even the most difficult goals are achievable.

apartment and car

Next, decide on your regular minimum requests and needs. Food, hygiene and cosmetics, paying utility bills, using the Internet and mobile communications, hobbies, bad habits, entertainment - calculate how much money you spend on this on average per month. To this amount, add possible expenses for clothes and necessary purchases - furniture, household appliances, car maintenance and a small reserve for unforeseen expenses.

Thus, you can determine at least approximately the average amount you need per month. Record each expense item in a separate item. Ideally, make such calculations regular, write down in detail every day how much and on what money you spent and how much you received. This will make budgeting much easier.

For example, let's try to calculate the number of monthly expenses for the average Russian

We have: a family of two, renting a one-room apartment in a residential area of ​​Moscow. A list of their monthly expenses might look like this:

- payment for an apartment - 25,000 rubles;

- food - 10,000 rubles;

- hygiene and cosmetic products - 3,000 rubles;

- fee for using the Internet (600 rubles) and mobile communications (another 900 rubles) - a total of 1,500 per month;

- visiting the gym (husband) - 1,200, fitness club and swimming pool (wife) - 1,500, total - 2,700 rubles;

- purchase of cigarettes (only the husband smokes) - another 1,500 rubles;

- entertainment - 1 time per month to go to the cinema, 1 time - to the water park, 2 times - to go to a restaurant - we will take 7,000 rubles in total;

– maintenance and refueling of the car – 6,000 rubles;

- purchase of clothes - 5,000 rubles.

Total for the month it took 61,700 rubles. With the average salary of a young Moscow family in which both spouses work (let's take, for example, 90,000 rubles), this is quite good, but the expenses include only the bare necessities, and living in a rented apartment all your life is not very pleasant.

By the way, a well-known financial analyst gave a rather interesting and, in fact, correct answer to the question posed. According to him, given the growing human demands, it is necessary to double your income every two years - and only in this case you will have enough for a “normal life”. Of course, such growth rates are impossible for the majority, but the essence is true - no matter how much a person receives, he will still not be enough.

Real estate question - how much does a mortgage cost?

House of money

If you ask a person what, in his opinion, the concept of “normal life” includes, the first place will most likely be the presence of his own spacious apartment in a normal area. Today, the living conditions of the overwhelming majority of Russians (and residents of other countries too) are far from ideal, but even from satisfactory - there are often cases when a family with two children lives in a cramped two-room apartment, and this is far from the most difficult case. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to solve the issue of having your own housing.

The cost of residential real estate directly depends on the city, district, footage and condition of the apartment. In a small town, you can easily find a “odnushka” for 600,000 rubles, in the regional center for the cheapest options this price rises to at least a million, if it is a city of a million people, then up to one and a half, in St. two. Well, in Moscow you can hardly find anything cheaper than 4,500,000 rubles (and for that amount you will get a small apartment somewhere at the final metro station that needs major repairs).

However, in this article we are not talking about the minimum cost of real estate, and therefore the above amounts for the purchase of normal housing should be increased at least one and a half to two times. Naturally, so much money will have to be collected for more than one year. Consider how much you need to earn in order to take out a mortgage for a resident of Moscow and, for example, Novosibirsk.

Buying an apartment in Moscow

Let's say the option you like costs 10 million rubles. At prices for 2015, this could be a two-room apartment in the area of ​​the Third Transport Ring, not far from the metro. According to the conditions, in most banks it is necessary to make an initial contribution, at least 20%.

Suppose that you had 20% of the amount (2,000,000 rubles) (for example, your parents gave it for a wedding), and you paid it right away. In total, it remains to pay another 8,000,000 rubles to the bank. For example, in the calculations we will use . Interest rate - 14.5% per annum, you take a mortgage for 10 years. We drive the data into the mortgage calculator. 126,629 rubles - this is how much you will have to pay every month for 10 years to Sberbank if you are going to take an apartment with their mortgage. The overpayment in this case will be 7,202,592, or 72% of the value of the property.

Add to this those 61,700 rubles a month that are already spent on living. You need to subtract the savings on rent and get the final figure of expenses per month. Together with mortgage payments, you need to spend more than 163 thousand rubles a month. In principle, for a young Moscow family, this amount is not something fantastic - with a good education or work experience, a young couple may well achieve such income, albeit not immediately, but in a couple of years. However, given that this amount is needed every month and for ten years, and you will only have to buy the most necessary goods, this hardly fits the definition of “normal life”. That is why the answer to the question Is it profitable to take a mortgage for the vast majority of people will be negative. Alternatively, you can apply for a mortgage longer than 10 years, but in this case you will have to pay much more interest.

Buying an apartment in Novosibirsk (or any other large regional center)

The conditions are the same - a young married couple, without children, rents an apartment. The total income, of course, is less, suppose - 55,000 rubles, expenses - 40,000 rubles (15,000 for rental housing, 25,000 for minimum accommodation).

Suppose that you have chosen a good spacious apartment worth 3,000,000 rubles, and you will take real estate in a mortgage. You have the same 20% (600,000 rubles), in total, 2,400,000 rubles are missing. For example, let's take the same conditions - a mortgage from Sberbank, 14.5% per year, for 10 years. Monthly you will need to pay 38 thousand rubles. Add living expenses, subtract rent. Total for ten years every month you will have to receive 63,000 rubles and that's just for the essentials. For the regions, this is a fairly decent amount, although the conditions are very mild compared to Moscow.

So a mortgage is far from the best and most profitable option, and it will be better and more profitable to earn money for an apartment in other ways. How exactly - you can read in numerous articles on this topic.

How much do you need to earn to buy a car?

But this question can be answered more precisely: the cost of the car, ideally, should not exceed your annual earnings. A similar formula has long been deduced by the Americans. In this case, you will not have to save up for a long time for a purchase, and you will be able to pay for the maintenance and refueling of the car without much impact on your wallet. Now let's take a closer look.

Sale announcement

Let's say you've chosen a 2007 Mazda 6 (hands-on, of course). Its average price is 400,000 rubles. To buy it in one year, you will need to set aside 33,000 rubles a month. For two years - 16,500 respectively. In principle, many people can afford it without even resorting to serious savings. Well, if you endure another year, then you will have to save even less per month - 11,000 rubles.

The first car is always more difficult to buy, because to upgrade it is enough to sell your old car and add a little. So the first step is to start investing.

How can you invest free funds

There are already many articles on the topic “where to invest money”, so in this material we will not dwell on each option in detail.

1. Bank deposit investment. Depending on the currency, the bank and its conditions, it can bring you, as of 2015, 15% per annum or a little more.
2. Investment in a mutual fund or NPF (share investment fund). Higher risks, but higher profits. It is difficult to name the average percentage of profitability, approximately - 20%.
3. Investment in PAMM. High risks, but you can get even more income. +50% per annum is not a record figure for top Forex traders.
4. Investment in real estate. The option requires a considerable free amount, but allows you to receive a stable income.
5. . Here everything is individual, and often depends not only on the amount of invested funds, but on the success of the project.
6. Purchase of precious items. Long-term and unpredictable option.

It's also important to save on the little things.. Take, for example, the storage of funds on bank cards. In addition to interest on the balance (for example, Tinkoff Black gives 12% on the remaining funds, there are other cards with an income of 10%), you get additional bonuses like cashback, discounts and opportunities to simplify calculations and pay bills. Do not forget about the use of various bonus cards for purchases and payments for services that you make regularly. For example, if you refuel at Lukoil gas stations several times a week, the Lukoil-Petrocommerce-MasterCard card will suit you.

With the above methods, you can earn passive income. In the case of investing large sums, the size of the profit will be such that the need for ordinary work may disappear altogether.

The most important thing is to understand correctly and in time what exactly will be a normal life for you. If you have clearly defined the goal (goals) and know how to achieve them, you will definitely succeed.

The total amount of expenses for a normal life

How much do you need to earn to live well

So, if we put all the expenses together, we get the following alignment: a young family needs an apartment, a car, money for everyday expenses and recreation. We agreed to save up for a car for a year. We didn't talk about holidays. As a rule, in order to have a rest at least once a year at current prices, you need to save at least 10 thousand rubles a month.

We get that in Moscow, for a family of two, the monthly expense to maintain a normal standard of living is 206 thousand rubles, and in large cities of Russia - 106 thousand. To put it bluntly, the numbers are sky-high. Several interesting observations can be made from this:

- a single person in Russia will not pull a mortgage;

- a mortgage payment in practice is much more expensive than rent - after all, you will always take a good apartment for yourself, and for a while a poor one-room flat will do;

- the real expense of a young family, which does not cut itself much, is at least twice as high as the official average salary in the region.

What to do, because there is not enough for everything?

In practice, this is what happens. Almost no one can claim a decent standard of living. This is mainly a consequence of high (relative to salaries) housing prices in Russia. If you got your grandmother's apartment - you are in chocolate. No - spin as you like. It is necessary to moderate the Wishlist - less money for entertainment, more additional work, more income to direct to investments. Give up the car, and buy an apartment for a start at least some, it can always be exchanged with a surcharge.

But this is all good in theory. And if there is no opportunity to earn a lot - there is no good job in the region, there is no money profession? In practice, either part of the expenses of young people for many years falls on their parents, or, if they cannot help, life often turns out to be broken when people wander around rented corners, and only by the age of forty, when life has been lived, do they buy themselves a small apartment on the outskirts, in which raises the next generation of sufferers...

The daily life of Russians is spent in bustle and work. Dreaming of a beautiful life, many people ask themselves the question: “How to get rich quickly and what needs to be done for this?”. In order to reveal this secret at least a little, let's figure it out, but what do the richest people in Russia and around the world do?

Athletes and showmen arrived

The richest athlete in the world is Tiger Woods (golf). His earnings reach $75 million per year. The famous athlete, our compatriot, Maria Sharapova, receives $24.5 million.

Performers of popular hits receive a salary (in million USD).

Choosing a way of earning, any person, first of all, thinks about how much he can achieve. Many start looking for interesting options on the Internet and find it. One of the popular ways to earn a fairly large amount of money is trading in the market. And the question immediately arises: how much can you earn here?

How much can you earn on Forex?

The answer to it is not so simple, since in trading there is no such thing as an industry average wage. In one month, you can earn a fairly solid amount of money, and in another, not only do not earn anything, but also lose everything from the previous month.

Earnings in trading are akin to income from individual entrepreneurs: some “plow” 24 hours a day and have almost nothing, while others, without straining, earn even more than they can spend. Thus, Forex makes it possible to earn no less than in business.

At the same time, the income that will be received as a result depends on a huge number of factors.

Factors on which a trader's earnings depend

To talk about the earnings of a Forex trader, you need to deal with each factor separately. Here are some of them:

The amount of the deposit that the trader has.

The amount of the deposit is the amount of money that the trader manages. There is one rule here: if a trader enters with a penny deposit, then his earnings will correspond to this deposit. Of course, they will be cheap. Thus, in order to earn decent money little by little on Forex, the deposit amount must be significant.

However, another option is also possible - to trade with investors' money. But this is only on condition that you will have excellent yield charts, and quite successful and wealthy investors will be able to entrust you with their money.

profitability of the trading system.

Here, too, there is a rule: the more effective the trading system that a trader uses, the more money he will receive accordingly. Moreover, he can have proceeds not only from his deposit, but also from the funds attracted by him.

A trading strategy of average efficiency can bring income from 30% to 100% in one year. The more experience a trader has, the higher his earnings on Forex.

The level of risk a trader can take.

The higher the risk, the higher the return on the deposit.

For example, one trader trades on a deposit of $1,000 and the degree of his risk for all transactions is 1% of the total amount of the deposit. The other trader also has a $1,000 deposit but takes a 10% risk per trade. As a result of simple calculations, you can immediately tell which of them will get the most profit. Naturally, the second trader. However, this is only subject to the profitability of transactions.

In the opposite situation, when a losing streak hits, the second trader runs the risk of being left without money, and the first trader, even if he does not earn a penny, at least saves what he has at that time.

Thus, the higher the risk per trade, the higher the return. However, at high risk, there is a possibility of complete ruin.

Psycho-emotional stability.

The results of a trader's work strongly depend on his psycho-emotional state. First of all, unsuccessful transactions can affect. Often, having received a negative experience of trading in Forex, many novice traders stop their activities in this field.

But the feeling of detachment from reality can also come after a series of successful transactions, which makes the trader take unjustified risks, believing that he is “too tough”. The main thing here is to control yourself and not be led by your own emotions, but try to think sensibly, carefully weighing all your decisions.

The volatility of the market environment.

The market is a constantly changing and dynamic system. What used to be profitable may not work today. You can do everything absolutely right, but in a certain period of time the market will not allow you to earn money.

Income also depends on the frequency and frequency of favorable conditions for the transaction. Sometimes this happens more than once a day, and sometimes you have to wait a whole week.

So, what amount of earnings can a trader claim on Forex at first? The answer, as you can see, is ambiguous. It can be said that a trader can make a profit equal to zero, if he is an amateur and loves to take risks, or a fairly round amount with a few zeros, if he is a professional who knows how to think and keep his emotions to himself. In a word, everything depends on the trader himself, on his knowledge, skills and desire to earn.

HeadHunter asked 10,000 working residents of Russia what wages they consider worthy. It turned out that the average salary is only 53% of the worthy, according to the respondents, remuneration for work.

Only 9% of respondents admitted that they consider their salary worthy. "Normal" it was called 22% of respondents. Another 69% of employees do not talk about their current pay as worthy.

Most of all, workers from the Southern, North Caucasian and Central federal districts are dissatisfied with her, and the highest level of satisfaction with monthly income was shown by the Moscow region and the North-Western federal district.

It is worth adding that the highest offered salary is now in Moscow and the region - 58 thousand rubles, and the lowest in the Central Federal District, not counting Moscow and the region - 28 thousand.

Analysts at HeadHunter asked respondents to indicate the amount of wages they thought would be worthy. In general, in Russia, the salary was considered worthy. At the same time, in Moscow, a decent salary, according to the respondents, is , in St. Petersburg and the region - . In third place is the Far Eastern Federal District, its working residents consider a worthy salary of at least 69 thousand rubles.

The most modest expectations in the Northwestern Federal District (without St. Petersburg and the region) - 43 thousand rubles. And the biggest gap between a decent salary and the average for the region turned out to be in the Volga Federal District: the difference between them is more than 100%.

“A decent salary is a rather vague concept,” explained Maria Ignatova, Head of Research at HeadHunter. - For some, this is an income that allows you to satisfy any needs without restrictions. In this case, the salary that does not end at the end of the month will be worthy, when any desire that has arisen can be realized without delay, since the money is always on hand. And for some, this is a salary that simply allows you to live a normal life, pay for food, loans, and kindergarten. People rarely think about any savings. They live in the here and now.

Russia is distinguished not only by its large territory, but also by very high wages.

What is the average salary in Russia?

If we compare the level of average monthly income in 2018 with salaries in Russia in 2019, then it can be noted that the average salary in Russia increased by 12% over the past year. But it should be borne in mind that the increase in wages in Russia in 2019 took place exclusively in the national currency.

In terms of currency, the salary in Russia in 2019 decreased due to the appreciation of foreign currency.

Thus, the average salary in Russia in dollar terms in 2019 is significantly lower than in more developed countries, such as the Baltic states and.

According to statistics, the highest salaries in Russia are observed in two cities of this country: in Moscow and the cultural capital of the Russian Federation, St. Petersburg.

There has always been a large gap between average wages in Russia among the regions. But in recent years (2017-2019), the trend of increasing the gap between the indicators has only intensified. This is due primarily to the onset of the economic crisis, as a result of which the foreign exchange rate has sharply increased.

Due to the increase, the income of the population living in provincial areas has decreased. Against this background, the unemployment rate has risen significantly. Therefore, many people from provincial regions moved to large cities in order to find employment.

The average salary in Russia in 2018-2019 is equal to the amount of 36 thousand rubles.

The biggest salaries in Russia are in Moscow and St. Petersburg. In dollar terms, the average salary in these cities ranges from $700 to $1,000, while the average salary across all regions is only $570.

This level of wages significantly exceeded the average monthly income of residents of Ukraine ($320), Tajikistan ($140), Azerbaijan ($300) and Kyrgyzstan ($220).

Analysis of the minimum income by region

The minimum wage is the minimum salary that an organization can pay to its employee. Each region has a different minimum wage rate.

In 2019, the minimum wage in Russia was raised to 11,280 rubles.

The increase came into effect on January 1, 2019. Until that moment, the smallest salary was 9489 rubles.

But the size of the minimum wage also directly depends on the region and place of employment. The salary of state employees in all regions of Russia is much lower than the salary of people working in non-budgetary organizations.
