Poland 2026-2027 pension, tax and social welfare reforms

Overview

Discussions regarding Poland’s social security and pension systems have intensified. In September 2026, ZUS began distributing the 14th pension, with a maximum gross amount of 1,978.49 PLN for those with monthly pensions below 2,900 PLN. Administrative reforms to reduce bureaucracy take effect October 24, 2026. ZUS will consolidate caregiver benefit forms into a single Z-15 application and merge maternity, parental, and paternity leave forms into one ZAM form. For maternity benefits, ZUS will retrieve birth certificate data directly, removing the need for manual attachments. Documentation requirements for B2B contractors, clergy, and certain sailors are also being reduced. Looking toward 2027, the Council of Ministers has finalized minimum wage adjustments. Effective January 1, 2027, the monthly minimum wage will rise to 4,950 PLN gross, while the minimum hourly rate for civil law contracts will increase to 32.30 PLN. The widow’s pension system will also change on January 1, allowing individuals to combine their own pension or disability benefit with a family pension, with the second benefit’s share increasing from 15% to 25%. New policy debates and proposals include: • Pension indexation: Government forecasts suggest a 3.96% increase for 2027 pensions and disability benefits. While the Council of Ministers set the statutory minimum at 20% of real wage growth plus inflation, Minister Agnieszka Dziemianowicz-Bąk has proposed raising this to 30%. • Retirement age: While the Ministry states there are no current plans to raise the statutory age (60 for women, 65 for men), economists have suggested raising it to 67. NSZZ ‘Solidarność’ has proposed seniority-based pensions after 35 years for women and 40 for men. • The ‘15th pension’: A proposal by Konfederacja MPs seeks to exempt working retirees from the 1.5% disability insurance contribution.
