The UAPF reminds that from 01.01.2024, the current funded system will be supplemented with a new conditional funded component - mandatory employer pension contributions (MEPC).

MEPC will be transferred from the agent's own funds and funds of individuals engaged in other paid activities (elected, appointed, or approved) only for employees born after January 1, 1975. The amount of the MERC is determined based on the monthly income of the employee considered for the calculation of MERC:

- from January 1, 2024 – in the amount of 1.5 percent;

- from January 1, 2025 – in the amount of 2.5 percent;

- from January 1, 2026 – in the amount of 3.5 percent;

- from January 1, 2027 – in the amount of 4.5 percent;

- from January 1, 2028 – in the amount of 5 percent.

At the same time, the monthly income of an employee, taken into account for calculating MERC, must be no less than the MRW (Minimum Wage Rate established for the respective financial year by the law on the republican budget) and must not exceed 50 times MRW established for the corresponding financial year by the law on the republican budget.

For tax agents choosing to pay MERC as part of a unified payment, as specified in Article 251 of the Social Code, the share of MERC in the unified payment rate on wages is as follows:

- from January 1, 2024 – 7.0 percent;

- from January 1, 2025 – 10.5 percent;

- from January 1, 2026 – 14.1 percent;

- from January 1, 2027 – 17.4 percent;

- from January 1, 2028 – 19.0 percent.

Below are the details for the transfer of MERC:

The transfer of mandatory pension contributions from the employer (MERC) is carried out by the agent through non-cash payments.
