The average pension in Ukraine is 7.5% higher than in the same period of 2023. However, inflation, which according to the National Bank reached 12% in 2024, has effectively negated this increase.

The highest payouts for pensioners are in Kyiv, averaging around 8,000 hryvnias. The lowest pensions are in the Ternopil region, averaging about 4,500 hryvnias.
