The salary of the deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation in 2018. is 399.3 thousand. rubles, that is, "in the hands" after paying income tax the parliamentarian should receive 347.4 thousand. rubles per month. In fact, it turns out a little less: taking into account hospital and leave, the deputies in the first half of the year received an average of 338 thousand. rubles. Such information was released on July 5 on the website of the State Duma. This was done on the personal orders of the Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin. In the framework of the policy of openness, the chairman instructed the Duma apparatus to prepare relevant information, bring them to the deputies themselves and publish it in free access on the Internet. The question about the monetary content of the deputies-pensioners, too, decided to withdraw, since, as Volodin said, "some publications give incorrect data on the pension, allegedly amount to several hundred thousand". Now everything is transparent, so no speculation is possible. As follows from the certificate prepared in the State Duma, the people's representative who worked in the State Duma of the first or second convocation receives a pension of 46 thousand. 626 rubles.

If a person has worked on the legislative field in the lower house of parliament for more than 10 years, then he is entitled to pensions in the amount of 63 thousand. 581 rubles. By the way, parliamentarians go on a well-deserved rest like most Russians: that is, if the amendments to the pension legislation proposed by the Cabinet are approved, men will receive the right to "deputy pension" after reaching the age of 65, and women in 63 years. The government initiative to improve the pension system was submitted to the State Duma in June. The first reading is scheduled for July 19.
