Hello poster, how much is the per capita pension for retirees in Sichuan Province in 2021? What level is it in the country? At present, Sichuan Province has not yet introduced specific pension adjustment methods and plans, which means that it is not possible to determine how much the pension in Sichuan Province will increase. However, we can make a rough calculation based on last year's data, because last year Sichuan The average pension in the province is about more than 2,800 yuan.

Such a pension income level, compared across the country, is at a lower-middle level and lower than the national average. Because the national average level last year was above 3,000 yuan, it is obvious that the average level in Sichuan Province is lower than the national average, so it belongs to the lower-middle income level. Of course, after experiencing normal pension growth this year, Sichuan Province I think the average pension in the province should be more than 2,900 yuan, or even close to 3,000 yuan.

However, such a pension benefit level is still lower than the middle level, not a very high benefit level. Therefore, generally speaking, for retired people in Sichuan, its Pension benefits are not very high. Compared with some big cities or some areas with relatively high pensions, there is still a certain gap. But our personal pension depends on your participation conditions. If you have a long enough cumulative contribution period and a high enough average contribution index, you can still get a higher pension income.

The average level of Sichuan Province is not high, and it ranks low in the country. According to statistics in 2020, the average level of pensions in Sichuan Province is 2,813 yuan, ranking 27th in the country. In fact, the average monthly salary in Sichuan is not very high, but because the cost of living in Sichuan is relatively low and prices are relatively low, life in Sichuan still feels happy.

But this sense of happiness does not include Chengdu, where housing prices are still relatively in the process of rising. If you don’t have a house and need to rent a house in Chengdu, the cost of living for one month is not small. Sichuan Province has a relatively large population, and wages are relatively low in the southwest. Therefore, according to the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security’s pension increase standard of 4.5% this year, in fact, Sichuan’s pension adjustment will not be too high.

We can calculate that if the average pension level is 2,813 yuan and the average increase is 4.5%, then the average pension increase is only 126 yuan. Of course, the specific increase plan in Sichuan Province has not yet been withdrawn, and it should be gradually introduced in the near future.

Of course, the current average pension level of 2,813 yuan may not be very accurate, and may be higher. According to the Sichuan Province Statistical Bulletin in 2019, 8.095 million retirees from insured enterprises received pensions in 2019, an increase of 298,000 from the previous year, and the per capita monthly benefit level throughout the year reached 2,154 yuan. From this point of view, it may be that the median pension of retirees in Sichuan Province is generally relatively low. The expenditure of the Sichuan Province Employee Basic Pension Insurance Fund in 2019 was 241.62 billion yuan, and the average monthly pension insurance amount per person was 2,487 yuan. But this part of the expenditure also includes funeral expenses, pensions, and some living allowances for some deceased pensioners. If these are deducted, it may still be lower.
