Calculation of pension payments
In order to independently calculate the amount of your future pension, you should use the following formula:
Pension = average salary (for the last three years)*wage coefficient*experience coefficient
The experience coefficient is calculated using a formula such as:
Experience (in years)* 0,0135
The monthly salary coefficient is determined as follows:
Salary for one of the months/average salary in the country in the same month
The period for which the salary is formed for calculating the future pension includes length of service from 07/01/2000. From such a period, you can delete no more than 10% of months with a reduced salary ratio.
What is the procedure for paying pensions in the Donetsk People's Republic?
By Decree of the Head of the Republic dated April 24, 2015. No. 158 (as amended on July 8, 2015 No. 278) approved the Procedure for payment and delivery of pensions.
I would like to dwell on the main points. Payment of pensions in the Republic is made by organizations that pay and deliver pensions (Central Republican Bank and State Enterprise “Donbass Post”) from the 4th to the 25th of the month for which the pension is paid.
If the established pension is not received for two consecutive months, the payment of the pension is suspended.
Subsequent renewal of payments is made from the month following the month of the pensioner’s personal application to the Pension Fund with an application for renewal of the pension.

Until 2008, everything in this formula was extremely simple: the value of the estimated cost of a year of insurance experience was equal to one.
That is, “All” could simply be removed from the formula. The experience coefficient was determined very simply: the total number of months of experience was divided by 1200. In practice, it turned out that 20 years of experience is 20% of the salary, 30 years is 30% of the salary, etc.
After 2008, the value of the cost of one year of experience was 1.35.
Roughly speaking, the length of service coefficient for all pensioners was increased by 35%. If a person has, for example, 40 years of experience, then his pension is now considered as if he had 54 years of experience, that is, 54% of his salary. From January 1, 2020, it is planned to reduce the cost of one year of insurance experience to one again, that is, return to the simpler option that existed before 2008.
But this option is, of course, less profitable. Attention The salary for calculating the pension is determined by the formula: Zp = Zs * (Sk / K), where: Zp – salary for calculating the pension in hryvnias; Zs – the average salary per one insured person in Ukraine as a whole, for the 3 calendar years preceding the year of applying for a pension.
Sk – the sum of wage coefficients for each month (K1+K2+...); K – the number of months of insurance experience for which the coefficients are calculated. The wage coefficient, in turn, is calculated by the formula: Кз = Зв/Зс, where: Кз – wage coefficient of the insured person; Zv – the amount of the insured person’s salary, from which insurance premiums are paid and which is taken into account to calculate the pension for the month for which the coefficient is calculated; Zs – average salary per insured person in Ukraine as a whole for the month for which the coefficient is calculated. Law No. 1058). Since the bodies of the DPR Pension Fund do not have access to a unified database of insured persons in Ukraine, which does not make it possible to take into account all the available individual information of citizens of the Republic on length of service and wages necessary for calculating pensions, the Council of Ministers of the DPR adopted a resolution
“On some issues of assignment (recalculation) of pensions in the Donetsk People’s Republic during the transition period”
dated January 10, 2015 No. 1-12, which determines that if it is impossible to obtain data from the personalized accounting system, the document confirming the person’s insurance experience is the work book, and the document confirming the amount of accrued wages and payment of insurance premiums by the enterprise is the earnings certificate, issued by the owner or an authorized body (archival institution).
Now it is 1.35, that is, for each year worked, the pensioner receives 1.35% of his earnings.
What supplements are provided for pensions?
Today, the legislation provides for supplements to the pension assigned in accordance with the Law of Ukraine “On Compulsory State Pension Insurance” dated 07/09/2003 No. 1058:
- non-working pensioners with dependent children under 18 years of age;
- allowance for care for disabled people of group 1, single disabled people of group 2 who have reached retirement age;
- allowance for care for single disabled people of group 3 who have reached retirement age and need outside care.

Retirement age in the DPR for women and men in 2020

You can find out about all the latest changes related to the retirement age in Ukraine for men and women.
