Methodology and definition

The average salary(nominal) of a full-time employee is determined by dividing the amount of the accrued salary fund of full-time employees (tariff rates (position salaries), bonuses, additional payments, allowances, payment for time not worked, mandatory deductions) by the average number of these employees for the corresponding month.

Real wagescharacterize the purchasing power of nominal wages under the influence of changes in consumer prices for goods and services and the level of taxes and mandatory payments.

The real wage index is calculated by dividing the index of accrued nominal wages (excluding personal income tax and military duty) by the consumer price index. The information is prepared on the basis of the data of the state statistical survey "Survey of enterprises on issues of labor statistics", which covers legal entities and separate divisions of legal entities with the number of employees of 10 or more people.

Information on the nominal wage is formed in Ukraine as a whole and by regions by types of economic activity at the level of sections and divisions in accordance with the Classification of Types of Economic Activity (http://www.ukrstat.gov.ua/klasf/nac_kls/KVED2010.xls).
