MW – the amount of the minimum wage established by the law on the republican budget on the date of the emergence of the right to (SBlb);

IRC is the income replacement coefficient. IRC is 0,6;

DR – dependency ratio is:

with one dependent – 0.5,

with two dependents - 0.65,

with three dependents - 0.8,

with four or more dependents - 1.0;

LP – length of participation is:

less than 6 months - 0.1;

from 6 to 12 months - 0.7;

from 12 to 24 months - 0.75;

from 24 to 36 months - 0.85;

from 36 to 48 months - 0.9;

from 48 to 60 months - 0.95;

from 60 to 72 months - 1.0;

from 60 months or more, 0.02 is added to 1.0 for every twelve months of experience in the compulsory social insurance system, but not more than 1.3.

If the participation period is 72 months or more, the CSU is determined by the following formula: 

CSU = 1.0 + 0.02 * INTEGER ((Mso – 60 months)/12 months), where

1.0 - CSU with an experience of participation from sixty to seventy -two months;

The INTEGER from dividing the difference (Mco – 60 months) by 12 months is the number of full years to which the value of 0.02 is applied for each year of participation, over five years.

Example

Suppose a system member with 85 months of participation and three dependents within 2 years prior to the date of death: 

The first year's salary - 150 000 tenge (the object of the calculation of SC minus MPC = 150 000 tenge - 15 000 tenge = 135 000 tenge),

Second year salary - 200 000 tenge (the object of SC calculation minus MPC = 200 000 tenge - 20 000 tenge = 180 000 tenge).

The income for each month is determined on the basis of the received social contributions in the SSIF from the object of calculation of social contributions. 

The amount of income for 2 years: 12 months. * 135 000 KZT + 12 months. * 180 000 tenge = 3 780 000 tenge. 

The resulting amount is divided by 24: AMI = 3 780 000 tenge / 24 = 157 500 tenge.

DR = 0.8

IRR = 0.6

IRR = 1+ ((85 months – 60 months) / 12) full years* 0.02) = 1.04

(157 500 тенге - 50% * 70 000 тенге) * 0,8 * 0,6 * 1,04 = 61 152 тенге.

(157,500 tenge - 50% * 70,000 tenge) * 0,8 * 0,6 * 1,04 = 61 152< strong> tenge.
