PolandThe Polish government has announced that the 14th pension payment for retirees and recipients of pensions will begin in September 2026. The Ministry of Finance proposed that this additional annual monetary benefit be paid out in September, aligning with existing payment schedules. The amount of the 14th pension will be equal to the lowest basic pension, which is set at 1978.49 zł gross. However, higher-income retirees will see their additional payment reduced according to a 'gold for gold' principle, where the benefit decreases by 1 zł for every 1 zł exceeding a threshold of 2900 zł gross. Those with pensions above 4828.49 zł gross will not receive the 14th pension, as it would fall below the 50 zł minimum after deductions. The payment will include health insurance contributions and income tax withholdings, resulting in a net amount of 1625.43 zł for those receiving the lowest pension. Payments will occur on standard dates, adjusted for weekends and holidays, with specific dates outlined for September 2026.
