How net salary calculation works in Ukraine
Calculating net salary in Ukraine starts with separating the gross figure in an offer from the amount that actually reaches a bank account. For a standard employee the base formula is relatively simple, but in the Ukrainian market it is common to compare that result with the FOP Group 3 model, especially in tech.
In our MVP calculator, standard mode applies 18% PIT and 1.5% military levy on gross salary. FOP Group 3 applies 5% tax on income and adds a fixed ESV payment of 1,760 UAH per month. Those two layers already cover a large share of the real scenarios that matter to international talent and local professionals.
Monthly comparison between employee and FOP
| Gross per month | Employee net | FOP net | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40000 | 32200 | 36240 | 4040 |
| 80000 | 64400 | 74240 | 9840 |
| 120000 | 96600 | 112240 | 15640 |
| 160000 | 128800 | 150240 | 21440 |
How to read this in a real offer
At 100,000 UAH per month, standard mode leaves about 80,500 UAH net, while FOP Group 3 lands near 93,240 UAH. That gap explains why contract structure changes the real negotiation so much.
