In 2025, the amount of the maximum pension in Ukraine will remain at the level of 23,610 hryvnias, as defined in the Budget Declaration for 2025-2027. This is due to the government's desire to reduce the budget deficit, which has grown due to the full-scale war with Russia.
Who is eligible for the maximum pension?
The established limit of pension payments applies to four main categories of citizens:
- Civil servants
- Scientists
- People's deputies
- Employees of local self-government
In addition, persons with a high official income (over 50,000 hryvnias per month) can receive the right to such a pension, provided they have full insurance experience.
It is worth noting that judges, military personnel and police officers receive pension payments that may exceed the established maximum limit. For judges, the possibility of receiving a lifetime allowance is preserved, the amount of which is not limited by law and can even exceed 100,000 hryvnias per month.
The government declares that the budget policy for the next three years will be aimed at reducing the deficit and maintaining macroeconomic stability. In such conditions, the absence of an increase in the maximum pension is one of the measures to save state funds.
Although the maximum amount of the pension will remain unchanged, the question of minimum pension payments and possible indexation for average pensioners remains open. Such decisions will depend on the economic situation and the budget for 2025.
