In 2026, the maximum maternity payments in Russia will increase significantly.

In 2026, Russia plans to significantly increase the maximum maternity benefits, which can reach up to 1.3 million rubles. Nikita Chaplin, a member of the Budget and Taxes Committee, announced this on January 5.

"The establishment of a new maximum amount of maternity benefits at 1.3 million rubles from 2026 is the result of consistent work to strengthen the system of social support for families. This is not just a figure, but a real tool that allows working mothers to focus on the most important thing — the birth and upbringing of a child, without worrying excessively about financial issues during this crucial period of their lives," he stressed in an interview with TASS.
