This is the pension that the Czechs get. Minimum scares me. Even in Poland it's better

What is the pension in the Czech Republic like? president Petr Pavel already signed a pension improvement bill last year, which introduced crucial changes in the age of recipients. Does this have a direct impact on the amount of payments? any people get little than they should.
Since 1 March 2025, the lowest pension in Poland is PLN 1,878.91 gross per month. This benefit can be provided by persons who scope the general retirement age (60 years for women and 65 for men) and an adequate insurance placement (20 years for women and 25 years for men). This first aspect raises increasing controversy. Many believe that the retirement age should be increased due to the fact that the low ceiling has a clear impact on equally low payments of benefits. Moreover, in most associate States of the European Union, it has already been raised and even harmonised. specified rules besides apply to our confederate neighbours.

Pension age in the Czech Republic. Gradually going up
Czech president Petr Pavel signed a pension improvement bill last year, which assumes a gradual extension of the retirement age from 65 to 67 for both women and men. The change came into force on 1 January 2025, and the retirement age is now expanding at a rate of 2 months for men and childless women. According to the Cesceduchod.cz portal, in the case of women who have children, growth rate is slower, but the improvement aims at equalising the retirement age for all men and women. The first age increase concerns people born in 1966. The amount of pension in the Czech Republic is calculated on the basis of the sum of 2 components: the basic rate and the percent of pension. In 2025, this first component is 4,660 kroner and the second 770 kroner. The minimum pension is so 5,430 kronor, or just about 930 PLN.


Retirement in the Czech Republic is no paradise. There's a amazing limit.
According to the Czech Social Insurance Administration (ČSSZ) data, at the end of 2024 the average pension in the Czech Republic was 20,680 kronor, or over PLN 3.5 thousand. The amount is so akin to what ZUS offers Polish recipients - the average pension in April 2025 was PLN 4,198,58 gross, while in the first 4th of 2024 it was about PLN 3.5 thousand. There are, however, another clear differences.

As many as 53 1000 Czech seniors are to receive a pension of little than 12 1000 crowns, which gives just over 2 1000 zlotys. Low amounts, below PLN 5 000, most frequently consequence from the fact that our neighbours have alleged partial pensions. As Jakub Augusta of the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs quoted by Radio ZET explains, they are paid to those who collect additional benefits from abroad. Interestingly, Czech pension government besides takes into account the advanced limit, which is 4 times the average wage. This means that the maximum benefit calculated in 2025 should not exceed 47 576 kronor, or about 8.2 1000 PLN. Moreover, the richest seniors must be taxed.
