14. A pension not only for seniors
There are many indications that the 14th pension in 2025, as in previous years, will be paid in September. However, it will not go to seniors' accounts. ZUS will also pay the benefit to people up to the age of 25. What is it about?
“Fourteen” for people up to the age of 25
As Interia explains, “Fourteen” is paid not only to pensioners. About 9 million pensioners live in our country. This group has over 1.1 million people who receive survivors' pensions, and among them are also learning young people up to the age of 25. And they will also receive an additional benefit. Let us remind you that the 14th pension is as much as the minimum pension, i.e. PLN 1,878.91 gross.
How much will the 14th pension be?
However, as Polish Radio 24 reminds, the payment of hand will in many cases be different due to the current income threshold. It was set in the Act at PLN 2,900 gross. If the benefit is higher, the “fourteen” is depleted in accordance with the “zloty for a zloty” principle. In turn, people with a pension higher than PLN 4,678.91 gross will not receive benefits at all, because the value of the allowance will then drop below the minimum payment amount, i.e. below PLN 50 gross.
In total, no more than PLN 4075.34 net
The total net amount of payday payments and 14 pensions may not be higher than PLN 4075.34 net. This is due to the principles of calculating the “fourteen” net. The value of the additional benefit granted is depleted with a health contribution amounting to 9 percent and for an advance on income tax – 12 percent – from exceeding the sum of the basic pension and the “fourteen” limit of PLN 2,500 gross.
