Retiring in 2025 will become more challenging: what changes to expect.

At the beginning of 2025, the requirement for work experience to retire will be revised. Now, to retire at 60, both men and women will need to have 32 years of work experience.

This information was provided by the Pension Fund. They reminded that according to the provisions of the pension reform, the work experience requirements will increase by 12 months annually until they reach 35 years.

Thus, starting in January, to retire, one will need:

• 32 years of experience to retire at 60;
• 22-31 years of experience to retire at 63;
• 15-21 years of experience to retire at 65.

If a person has not accumulated 15 years of experience by the age of 65, they can only expect to receive monthly state social assistance.

It is worth noting that in 2025, the amount of the minimum pension will not change, nor will the subsistence minimum. This means that the minimum pension for 65-year-old non-working retirees with 30-35 years of experience will be 3200 hryvnias. This is 40% of the minimum wage of 8000 hryvnias.

Let us remind you that earlier "Telegraph" reported on how to increase your pension payments, as well as how to calculate your future pension.
