According to the legislative change, now those who will go on a well-deserved rest will be allowed not to take into account the amount of salary after February 24. As a result, they will receive higher payments and do not take into account the period when the official salary of the lion's share of workers fell sharply.

This follows from bill No. 7453, which the President has already signed.. Recall that pensions in Ukraine are calculated according to the formula: the ratio of one's own salary to the average one multiplied by the length of service in years, 1% and by the average salary in the country for three years. In other words, the lower your own salary, the less your pension will be..

The new rules allow the amount of salary not to be taken into account when calculating a pension, but to take into account the length of service received. However, this rule is not for everyone..

In particular, those who are now defending the country as part of the Armed Forces of Ukraine receive increased salaries during martial law.. This means that for them, accounting for income during martial law will allow them to receive a higher pension in the future..
