Pensioners will receive a 700 hryvnia supplement: who will get the money.
According to inkorr.com: In the autumn period of 2025, some pensioners in Ukraine will receive
additional payments to the main pension. This applies to individuals with insurance experience that exceeds the minimum required. According to the Pension Fund of Ukraine, the supplement may amount to about 700 hryvnias. This was reported by
24 Kanal.
How the amount of the pension supplement is determined
The supplement is calculatedusing the formula: 1% of the pension for each year of excess experience, but not more than 1% of the subsistence minimum. In 2025, it will be 2361 hryvnias. Thus, if a pensioner has 30 extra years of service, they will receive about 708 hryvnias (2361 × 30% = 708).
It is important to consider the following conditions:
if the pension was assigned before October 2011, the excess experience is considered to be more than 25 years for men and 20 years for women;
if the pension was issued after October 2011, the excess experience is over 35 years for men and 30 years for women.
Minimum experience required to retire
According to the Law "On Mandatory State Pension Insurance", the minimum experience for retirement in 2025 will change:
at 60 years old, at least 32 years of experience will be required;
at 63 years old — from 22 years;
at 65 years old — 15 years will be enough.
Those who do not have enough experience can
"buy back" the necessary years. This allows avoiding delays in pension payments.
Many pensioners in Ukraine will be affected by the increase in the subsistence minimum and new requirements for experience. According to the PFC, in October 2025, more than a third of pensioners will receive less than 4000 hryvnias per month. The average pension in the country will be 6436.8 hryvnias, and for working pensioners — 7069.4 hryvnias, which is 13% higher than in the previous year.
It was previously reported that according to the state budget project for the next year,
the minimum pension rate will be increasedby 9.4% compared to the current 2361 hryvnia. Lawyers note that this increase corresponds to the inflation level for 2025.
Increasing pension payments and changes in pension policy can significantly impact the financial situation of Ukrainian pensioners. The new rules and supplements will help many people improve their well-being in old age, but it is also necessary to consider the growing requirements for the minimum experience.
