💰 How much does the work of a single member of parliament actually cost?

In 2025 year the average MP salary amounted to 60 892 UAH per month. But the salary is only part of government expenditures.

Each month an MP can also receive:

🔹 200 thousand UAH — for parliamentary activity;

🔹 up to 20 thousand UAH — for housing rent;

🔹 7 thousand UAH — for travel;

🔹 almost 146 thousand UAH — for assistants' salaries.

As a result, the work of one parliamentarian can cost the budget up to 435 thousand UAH per month.

At the same time, the official salary of an MP in 2026 year — from 33 280 to 39 936 UAH depending on the position. In practice, however, the salary of most MPs is almost twice as high thanks to allowances — in particular for workload intensity, academic degree, honorary title, or work with state secrets.

What payments to members of parliament consist of and how much they receive — researched by CHESNO Movement.

💰 Скільки насправді коштує робота одного народного депутата?

У 2025 році середня зарплата нардепа становила 60 892 грн на місяць. Але зарплата — лише частина державних витрат.

Щомісяця депутат також може отримувати:

🔹 200 тис. грн — на депутатську діяльність;

🔹 до 20 тис. грн — на оренду житла;

🔹 7 тис. грн — на проїзд;

🔹 майже 146 тис. грн — на зарплати помічникам.

У результаті робота одного парламентаря може обходитися бюджету до 435 тис. грн на місяць.

При цьому посадовий оклад нардепа у 2026 році — від 33 280 до 39 936 грн залежно від посади. Фактично ж зарплата в більшості депутатів майже вдвічі вища завдяки надбавкам — зокрема за інтенсивність праці, науковий ступінь, почесне звання чи роботу з державною таємницею.
