Poland: 2027 minimum wage proposed at PLN 4,950; final regulation due by 15 September 2026
115 days from today
Date note: The Rada Dialogu Społecznego (Social Dialogue Council) did not reach a unanimous position, so under the Minimum Wage Act the Council of Ministers must set the 2027 figure by regulation no later than 15 September 2026, and cannot set it below the PLN 4,950 gross / PLN 32.30 hourly figure it already proposed to the social partners. As of this run (2026-09-08), the confirming Dziennik Ustaw regulation had not yet been published - treat PLN 4,950 as the legal floor, not yet the final confirmed figure.
What changes
The Polish government has proposed a 2027 minimum monthly wage of PLN 4,950 gross (up from PLN 4,806 in 2026) and a minimum hourly rate of PLN 32.30, after trade unions sought PLN 5,200 and employer groups sought a smaller rise; the Council of Ministers must issue the final regulation no later than 15 September 2026.
Who is affected
Every employer in Poland with staff paid at or near the minimum wage, regardless of sector.
Sizes: micro, small, medium, large · Sectors: All sectors · Applies if: We employ staff
What to do
Budget 2027 payroll around the proposed PLN 4,950 monthly / PLN 32.30 hourly floor (the legal minimum the government can set), and check gov.pl/web/rodzina or the Journal of Laws in the coming weeks for the final Council of Ministers regulation confirming the exact 2027 figures before finalising payroll systems.
