The Pension Fund of Ukraine started financing pensions for April 2025: the first funds for payments were sent on April 2. About this informs press service of PFU.
713.2 million hryvnias were transferred to pension payments through JSC “Ukrposhta”. Pensions are paid monthly between the 4th and the 25th. If the specified date falls on a weekend or holiday, the pension may be paid early, but within the established payment period. In general, during April, it is planned to allocate about 70 billion hryvnias for pension payments.
At the same time, from April 1, the Pension Fund carried out an automatic recalculation of pensions for working pensioners. The payment of the updated amounts will begin in June, taking into account the additional payments for April and May. Recalculation is carried out taking into account the experience gained in the last two years. The size of the pension increase is determined individually for each pensioner, depending on the length of the insurance period and the level of wages from which the pension is calculated.
There are currently 2.8 million working pensioners in Ukraine. According to the Ministry of Social Policy, this year the recount will cover 629,000 of them. The experience of the previous year shows that the increase in pensions after recalculation is, as a rule, insignificant: in 2024, it was on average 86.24 hryvnias for seniority only, and taking into account both seniority and earnings – 168.65 hryvnias.
