The right to an old-age pension depends on a person’s age and the number of years of insurance record. Ukraine’s Law No. 1058-IV “On Mandatory State Pension Insurance” provides for retirement at the age of 60, 63, or 65.
According to Article 26 of this Law, the insurance record requirements change in 2026:
🔸 to retire at 60 — at least 33 years of insurance record;
🔸 at 63 — at least 23 years;
🔸 at 65 — at least 15 years.
📈 Changes also affect the minimum pension amount. The State Budget of Ukraine for 2026 sets a new subsistence minimum for persons who have lost working capacity. It is now UAH 2,595, which corresponds to the minimum pension.
🧮 In addition, pension indexation is scheduled for March 2026. The indexation rate will be determined based on inflation and the average salary indicators for 2025.
💻 Please note that you can apply for a pension online via the Pension Fund of Ukraine web portal: portal.pfu.gov.ua.
