- Pechersk - 54,596 UAH;
- Holosiivskyi - 54,564 UAH;
- Podil - 53,885 UAH.
High figures are partly explained by the concentration of large companies, government institutions, and enterprises with high-paying employees in the central districts. For example, in June, the average salary in the field of information and telecommunications in the capital reached 88,878 UAH. Earlier, Inkorr analyzed in which sectors they pay the most.

Recall that in July, Kyiv remained the region with the highest average salary in Ukraine - 49,463 UAH.
