To receive a pension of at least 10 000 UAH, Ukrainians need to earn from 29 000 to 65 000 UAH: in France and Germany the average pension is about 87 000 UAH, — SYUG
The size of a future pension directly depends on official salary and insurance contribution history. According to approximate calculations:
📍35 years of service — salary should be about 37 000 UAH;
📍45 years of service — roughly 29 000 UAH is enough;
📍if there are only 20 years of service, to get a pension of 10 000 UAH the salary must reach approximately 65 000 UAH;
📍unofficial work without paying contributions does not count toward insurance service time.
And here is how the situation looks in Europe:
📍France — about 70% of salary. The average direct pension of French retirees at the end of 2024 was about 87 300 UAH (€1 705).
📍Germany — about 53% of salary. The average pension after at least 35 years of insurance was about 86 600 UAH (€1 692), and the actual average payment after contributions was about €1 501.
📍Poland — about 41% of salary. The average pension in April 2026 was about 52 500 UAH (4 491 zloty), and ZUS projected the average indicator for 2026 year at around 4 492 zloty.
