Maternity allowance is paid to working women in the amount of 100% of the average salary (income), regardless of insurance length, at the expense of the Pension Fund of Ukraine (Part 1, Article 26 of the Law on Mandatory State Social Insurance).

The size of the maternity allowance should compensate for 100% of the woman's average salary.

In addition, the amount of maternity benefits calculated per month should not exceed the size of the maximum value of the calculation base of the EUV.

– The procedure for calculating the average salary for the calculation of payments under mandatory state social insurance, including maternity benefits, is carried out in accordance with the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated September 26, 2001 No. 1266 On the calculation of the average salary (income, financial support) for the calculation of payments for mandatory state social insurance (with changes), the PFU emphasizes.

Also, the amount of payments cannot be less than the amount of assistance calculated from the minimum wage. Accordingly, in 2023:

the maximum amount of assistance for working women is UAH 100,500 per month;

the minimum for working women is UAH 6,700 per month.

As for unemployed women, in 2023 the living wage for able-bodied persons will be UAH 2,589 per month.

Therefore, the amount of maternity leave for women who do not work is UAH 647 per month.
