Working remotely for US and European companies from Kyiv
The hours you would work, what remote roles pay against local wages, taxes and how you get paid.
Pay here and pay remote
Average monthly wage, Kyiv: 48,705 UAH (August 2026)[1], about $1,085 at the official rate[2]. The national figure for Ukraine was 31,892 UAH (August 2026)[3], so local pay here is +53% against the country average.
Our open remote roles pay $700–$1,100 a month, 0.6–1.0 times that average. The range starts below the local average and ends above it, so experience decides where you land.

Your hours for US and European clients
Hours in Kyiv, January
Hours in Kyiv, July
Berlin / Paris (CET) gives the most overlap with a normal local day (8 hours in January). A US East Coast day starts at 16:00 your time in winter, so most US roles mean afternoon-to-night shifts.
Taxes and getting paid
- Individual entrepreneur (FOP) group 3: single tax of 5% of income for non-VAT payers[5].
- Clients pay contractors through platforms such as Deel[6] or by bank transfer, for example via Wise[7]; the platform fees are the client's.
- Recruitment through Stafka is free for candidates; nothing is deducted from your pay.
English
Ukraine: #45 in the EF English Proficiency Index 2025, score 526[8]. Roles with US clients need C1: we check it with a short written task and a voice message.
