A minimum living wage is determined by the law of Ukraine on the state budget for the relevant year. For example, the minimum living wage for 2019 is determined by the Law of Ukraine on the State Budget for 2019 Year and equals to UAH 1853 and by the end of this year it will reach UAH 2027.

FinSec = ((20 x (MW) / 30) x (PND + 5) FinSec – financial security; MW – minimum living wage per one person per month; Planned number of days of staying in Ukraine.
