The Polish Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) launched an online emergency fund calculator to assist consumers in determining monthly savings targets ranging from 10,000 zł to 50,000 zł. The tool highlights the impact of interest rates on long-term savings goals.

Subsequent reports on financial resilience in Poland indicate that many households maintain low levels of savings. According to a study by Finax, 51% of Poles have reserves covering no more than three months of expenses, while only 19% possess savings capable of lasting longer than a year. Approximately 22% of respondents reported that their savings would last less than one month in the event of income loss.
