Thresholds for minimum sufficiency of pension savings have been published

for 2026  

Fulfilling the requirement of the Social Code, according to which the UAPF is required to post minimum sufficiency thresholds for pension savings calculated for the coming year in the media, as well as on its own Internet resource, no later than five working days after the official publication of the law on the republican budget for the next financial year. The year is 2026. 

It should be recalled that the minimum wage is the minimum amount of pension savings (formed from mandatory pension contributions) required to provide a depositor with a monthly pension of at least the minimum pension amount. This is the estimated amount of pension savings calculated based on current and projected socio-economic indicators, the size of the minimum pension, minimum wage, subsistence level, as well as inflation and investment profitability. In other words, the minimum sufficiency threshold is the minimum that must remain in the account so that the depositor, upon reaching retirement age, receives pension payments (taking into account the minimum basic pension payment) of at least the minimum pension amount.

PMT is calculated in accordance with the methodology for determining the threshold of minimum sufficiency of pension savings (hereinafter referred to as the Methodology) (approved by Resolution No. 521 of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated 30.06.2023 (hereinafter referred to as Resolution No. 521)).

According to the Methodology, the following socio-economic indicators for 2026, defined by the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On the Republican Budget for 2026-2028", were used to calculate the MPD for 2026:

1) the minimum wage is 85,000 tenge;

2) the minimum pension amount is 69,049 tenge;

3) the minimum subsistence level is 50,851 tenge.

As a result, the size of the MPI in 2026 has been increased by an average of 10%, which is generally consistent with current and projected inflation values.
