Starting from January 1, 2025, there will be no increase in the minimum subsistence level in Ukraine. According to TSN. This was reported by Kontakty.UA.
According to the state budget law, the minimum subsistence level for one person will be 2920 hryvnias from January 1, which means it will remain at the 2024 level.
The minimum subsistence level for key social and demographic groups will be:
- for children under 6 years old – 2563 hryvnias
- for children aged 6 to 18 years – 3196 hryvnias
- for working-age individuals – 3028 hryvnias
- for working-age individuals used to determine the basic salary of a judge – 2102 hryvnias
- for working-age individuals used to determine the salaries of employees in other state bodies, whose remuneration is regulated by special laws, as well as employees of tax and customs authorities – 2102 hryvnias
- for working-age individuals used to determine the salary of the district prosecutor – 1600 hryvnias

- for people who have lost their ability to work, used to determine the amount of the supplement for living in areas of radioactive contamination, particularly by court decisions – 1600 hryvnias
It is worth noting that the draft State Budget for 2025 does not plan for an increase in the minimum subsistence level or the minimum wage. Therefore, the minimum wage will remain at 8,000 UAH, while the minimum subsistence level for working citizens will be 3,028 UAH. However, if the economic situation improves, the government intends to review these figures.
In July 2024, the Ministry of Social Policy calculated that the minimum subsistence level for one person per month amounts to 7064.62 UAH without mandatory payments. The cost of food alone is 3700 UAH.
