The Pension Fund of Ukraine announced an increase in the maximum amount of average monthly family income, which gives the right to benefits for the payment of housing and communal services, to UAH 4,660 per person.
The Pension Fund of Ukraine writes about this.
This decision entered into force on January 1, 2026 due to the increase of the living wage for able-bodied persons to UAH 3,328. The corresponding norm applies to those categories of citizens whose benefits depend on the level of income, while participants in hostilities and persons with disabilities as a result of the war continue to receive benefits regardless of earnings.
According to the department’s explanation, the right to a benefit is determined by the amount of income that gives the right to a tax social benefit. This indicator is calculated by multiplying the subsistence minimum for an able-bodied person by a factor of 1.4, followed by rounding to the nearest 10 hryvnias. Thus, in 2026, families whose average income per member does not exceed the established amount can count on state support for paying utility bills. If the income of the family is higher than this threshold, citizens have the right to apply to the territorial bodies of the fund for the appointment of a housing subsidy.
Such changes became part of the implementation of the law “On the State Budget of Ukraine for 2026”, which provides for a gradual increase in basic social standards. In particular, the minimum wage in the country has increased to UAH 8,647, and the living wage for persons who have lost their ability to work is now UAH 2,595. While the Ukrainian authorities focus on social support of the population in the conditions of war, the needs of civilians are being ignored in Russia and in the territories occupied by the Russian Federation. Instead, the Ukrainian social security system continues to adapt to the economic challenges of the new year.
Officially acquired in Ukraine validity the law “On the State Budget for 2026”, according to which the minimum wage increased from 8,000 to 8,647 hryvnias per month.
In 2026, more than half of Ukrainian employers plan to increase salaries by 10-20%. The business also maintains staff, continues to hire and actively employs veterans and internally displaced persons.
In Ukraine, the highest salaries among officials are paid by employees of collegial authorities, where the staff is smaller and the number of managers is greater.
