Courier salaries in Ukraine: data as of September 24, 2026
The median salary in courier vacancies is 35 thousand hryvnias. This means that half of employers offer less than this amount, and half offer more. The figure was the same in August, while in spring, it reached 37.5 thousand hryvnias.

The difference between the highest and lowest figures on this list is 16.5 thousand hryvnias per month. It should be noted that these are the salaries indicated in the advertisements and not the guaranteed income for each courier. Income is influenced by the schedule, number of orders, and conditions of the specific employer. Similar differences are noticeable in salaries across regions.
Auto couriers can earn more
The median salary in job vacancies for auto couriers is 40 thousand hryvnias. For foot couriers, this figure is around 10.5 thousand. However, car owners need to consider expenses for fuel, repairs, and maintenance.
Some employers offer amounts above the median. For example, ‘Nova Poshta’ is looking for a courier in Vinnytsia with their own car and indicates a salary from 40 to 57 thousand hryvnias. The company promises to reimburse fuel costs. The candidate needs a category B driving license, a car, and the status of a private entrepreneur.
The maximum amount in the advertisement does not mean that the worker will necessarily earn that much. Before employment, it is worth clarifying what the payment depends on and what expenses the company covers. Other current offers can be viewed in the overview of salaries in Ukraine.
