What pensions in Ukraine are subject to indexation

In accordance with the Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers No. 168 of February 24, 2023, the recalculation of pensions is carried out using an increase factor of 1.197, that is, the amount of the pension supplement will be 19.7% of the amount of the pension received. This means that the larger the pension, the larger the amount of the increase the pensioner should receive.

Minimum pensions that are received by persons who have reached retirement age, but do not have the necessary insurance experience, and therefore receive social benefits. Previously, such payments were revised only along with an increase in the subsistence minimum, which is growing more slowly than indexation. That is, the minimum pension in Ukraine will be: UAH 2,093 (minimum pension as of January 1, 2023) + 19.7% = UAH 2,505.32.
