In Ukraine, pensioners working in public service can claim a significantly higher pension than ordinary citizens. According to the newspaper "Telegraph", in 2025 the amount of such payments can be over UAH 17 thousand hryvnias, provided that the monthly wage was at least 23 thousand.
The pension provision of civil servants is based on a norm of 60% of their last salary. For example, when paying 24 thousand hryvnias, the pension can exceed UAH 17 thousand.
It is worth noting that in order to retire under the civil service in 2025 it is necessary to reach the age of 62 years. This is later than other retirement Ukrainians, usually at 60 years.
In this case, the amount of the pension does not depend on the exact age of leaving or the number of years of insurance experience more than necessary. However, in order to be entitled to this pension category, a civil servant must have at least 35 years of total length of service, of which at least 20 - in the civil service.
With the help of a pension calculator, everyone can calculate their possible payments based on the level of wages and the number of years of service. This allows you to estimate in advance the future level of retirement income and, if necessary, adjust your plans.
