Salaries will be indexed in November 2026: who will see an increase in payments

In November 2026, some employees will see an increase in salary indexing following the rise in prices in September. As of the basic January, it will amount to 252.93 UAH before taxes, and employees earning minimum wage will receive this amount in addition to 8647 UAH. This is reported by TSN.ua.

Salary indexing in November 2026: who will receive how much

Indexing applies to employees in the budget sphere and the private sector. It is calculated on part of the salary within the subsistence minimum for able-bodied persons. In 2026, this minimum will be 3328 UAH. If a person worked a partial month, the amount is determined proportionally to the time worked.

The amount of the current indexing for a fully worked November depends on the base month. According to the calculations in «Debet-Credit», the following amounts are provided before taxation:

• January: 7.6%, or 252.93 UAH.

• February: 6.5%, or 216.32 UAH.

• March: 4.8%, or 159.74 UAH.

• April: 3.3%, or 109.82 UAH.

Based on the basic January, the total November indexing will be 252.93 UAH. The previous amount was 139.78 UAH, so the increase will be 113.15 UAH before taxes. After withholding 18% of personal income tax and 5% of military tax from the total November indexing, about 195 UAH will remain.

For an employee who worked the entire month and is entitled to an additional payment to minimum wage, the indexing will be calculated above the minimum. Based on the basic January, in this case, the total amount will be 8899.93 UAH before taxes.

Salary increase: how it affects the November payment

After a salary increase, inflation for current indexing is calculated starting from the following month. The right to it arises after the accumulated consumer price index exceeds 103%. For example, based on June to November, this threshold has not yet been overcome.

In the month of the salary increase, the employer compares the salary increase with the amount of the indexing due. If the increase is less, the employee is paid the difference. If it covers the entire amount, the indexing for that month is not calculated separately. Such a procedure is explained by state labor.

November indexing depends on price dynamics and the month of salary increase. The amount of the minimum wage is determined by the state budget. In the 2027 budget project, the government proposed to increase it to 9546 UAH.
