Pensions and benefits to rise from 1 March 2027: government publishes calculations

From 1 March 2027, pensions, annuities and some supplementary payments will rise. The government has set the minimum indexation option: the calculation takes into account 20% of the real growth in the average wage over the previous year (Council of Ministers regulation of 28 July 2026).

Indexation consists of two parts: the average annual rise in prices for pensioner households (or overall inflation, if higher) and the stated share of real wage growth. The final percentage will be known in early 2027. The calculations by warszawawpigulce.pl use a +3.96% scenario, not an approved figure.

The minimum pension is currently 1,978.49 zloty gross a month; at +3.96% it will exceed 2,056 zloty. The care allowance will rise from 366.68 zloty to 381.20 zloty.
