Pension benefits from the UAPF will increase by 5 percent for pensioners who have already been receiving benefits for several years, effective January 1, 2026.
As a reminder, UAPF benefits are calculated in accordance with the Methodology for Calculating Pension Benefits, approved by the Decree of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated June 30, 2023. According to this method, monthly payments to citizens retiring are calculated as follows: in the first year of receiving benefits, the amount of pension savings is multiplied by the pension savings payment rate of 6.5% and divided by 12. In subsequent years, the monthly payment amount is increased by the pension payment indexation rate of 5%.
