If an em­ploy­er in Kyiv or Kyiv Oblast re­ceived an en­force­ment doc­u­ment, check the with­hold­ing cap for the spe­cif­ic payment after manda­to­ry taxes. The tool shows only the statu­to­ry upper limit, not the amount that must ac­tu­al­ly be with­held.

This is a limit, not an in­struc­tion to with­hold exactly this amount. If there are mul­ti­ple doc­u­ments, child-support arrears, special pay­ments, or a dispute about the cat­e­go­ry, check the cal­cu­la­tion against the doc­u­ments. Do not add the sep­a­rate max­i­mums for each doc­u­ment.

The brief summary is easy to paste into a message to a lawyer or save for your­self.

How the limit is determined

Article 70 of the Law “On En­force­ment Pro­ceed­ings” applies de­duc­tions to the amount re­main­ing after taxes, fees, and the unified social con­tri­bu­tion. The limit is 20% for or­di­nary en­force­ment and up to 50% for certain claims, in­clud­ing child support and statu­to­ry damages. De­duc­tions for child support for minors may reach 70%.

The amount in the en­force­ment doc­u­ment, re­main­ing debt, pri­or­i­ty, and number of doc­u­ments may result in a lower actual de­duc­tion. Where there are mul­ti­ple doc­u­ments, ag­gre­gate limits and al­lo­ca­tion rules apply; this tool does not cal­cu­late them.

Methodology

Calculation methodology

Review pro­ce­dure

  1. Find the amount of the spe­cif­ic payment after manda­to­ry de­duc­tions in the payslip.
  2. Match the subject of en­force­ment in the en­force­ment doc­u­ment to one of the statu­to­ry cat­e­gories.
  3. Mul­ti­ply the net amount by the ap­plic­a­ble cap and compare it with the actual amount in the letter.
  4. If there is a dis­crep­an­cy, request the cal­cu­la­tion from the em­ploy­er and check the en­force­ment officer’s order and the re­main­ing debt.
Example

Example for Kyiv

An em­ploy­ee in Kyiv re­ceives one net payment of UAH 18,750; the em­ploy­er is en­forc­ing one doc­u­ment for an or­di­nary mon­e­tary re­cov­ery.

  • Net payment: UAH 18,750
  • Cat­e­go­ry: or­di­nary en­force­ment, up to 20%

Es­ti­mat­ed upper limit is UAH 3,750; at least UAH 15,000 remains af­ter­ward.

The actual de­duc­tion may be lower because of the re­main­ing debt or the con­tents of the order; this example does not cover mul­ti­ple doc­u­ments.

Documents

What to prepare for reconciliation

  • Pay state­ment for a payment with sep­a­rate tax and de­duc­tion lines.
  • The en­force­ment doc­u­ment, the en­force­ment officer’s order, and the pro­ceed­ing number.
  • In­for­ma­tion about the re­main­ing debt and other doc­u­ments being en­forced by the em­ploy­er.
  • The em­ploy­er’s written cal­cu­la­tion, if the amount is in doubt.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Is 20% calculated from gross or net pay?

For an en­force­ment doc­u­ment, the base is the payment after manda­to­ry taxes, fees, and the unified social con­tri­bu­tion. Check the amount of the spe­cif­ic payment in the payslip.

Will the entire displayed maximum be deducted?

No. This is only the maximum limit. The actual amount depends on the debt, the order, the number of doc­u­ments, and other cir­cum­stances.

Can the 20% limits under two documents be added together?

No. Sep­a­rate maximum limits are not added to­geth­er. Several doc­u­ments are subject to an ag­gre­gate limit and al­lo­ca­tion under en­force­ment pro­ceed­ings rules.

When can the 70% limit apply?

In par­tic­u­lar, for re­cov­ery of child support for minor chil­dren. Do not choose this cat­e­go­ry solely because an or­di­nary loan debt is large.

What to do if too much was deducted?

Get the payslip and en­force­ment doc­u­ment details, request the em­ploy­er’s written cal­cu­la­tion and check the en­force­ment officer’s order. The next steps depend on the source of the error.
