The Pension Fund of Ukraine explained how Ukrainians can significantly increase their future pension.

The Pension Fund of Ukraine announced a possible increase in future pensions for Ukrainians. According to the PFU's announcement, postponing retirement until age 66 can lead to a 39% increase in payments, and with additional work, this figure could even reach 50%.In 2025, it is projected that the average pension in Ukraine will be around 5780 hryvnias, which is 400 hryvnias more than last year. However, experts believe that this amount is not sufficient for a decent life, so they recommend that citizens actively influence the size of their future pension before retirement.Legislation provides for the possibility of receiving an allowance to the pension amount for each month of deferring retirement. Therefore, it is important to have a high official income, as this affects the amount of future payments. It is recommended to avoid 'gray' earnings, which can negatively impact the calculation of the pension.Thus, key factors in increasing future pensions for Ukrainians may include regular income, postponement of retirement, and avoidance of 'gray' salaries. This will allow citizens to have more financial resources after retirement.
