March indexation of pensions: In 2025, pensions and annuities will increase by 5.82 percent according to “Fakt” calculations.
This is how much your pension will be: If the indexation actually amounts to 5.82%, the minimum pension will increase from PLN 1,620.67 net to PLN 1,715. The profit is PLN 94 per hand. At 4 thousand gross, retirees will receive an additional PLN 184 per month.
This is how the indexation of pensions and annuities is calculated: Every year, the government must increase these benefits by at least the amount of average annual inflation and by 20%. real increase in average salary in the previous calendar year. The government may also increase the amount of indexation at its discretion. Therefore, if the authorities do not announce an increase earlier than the statutory minimum, then confidence as to the amount of indexation, we will have only in Februarywhen the Central Statistical Office data needed to calculate indexation arrives. However, “fact” has reached the numbers that allow for this forecasting minimum indexation.
Inflation in 2025: “An average annual forecast for 2024 inflation for the households of retirees and pensioners is 4 percent., and the forecast for 2024 is realistic salary increase in the national economy is 9.1 percent” – informed the Ministry of Finance. These data will determine in February how much pensions will increase. For now, however, it is only a forecast. We will have to wait another three months for hard data from the Central Statistical Office summarizing 2024.
