How we compute it and where the data come from

Czyste Powietrze has three income thresholds, each measured differently. The basic level, up to 40% of costs, applies when the applicant’s own yearly income does not exceed PLN 135,000. The raised level, up to 70%, requires average monthly income per person of up to PLN 2,250 in a multi-person household or PLN 3,150 for a single person. The highest level, up to 100%, requires income of up to PLN 1,300 or PLN 1,800 per person, or entitlement to a permanent, periodic, family or special carer’s benefit. At the two higher levels yearly business revenue may not exceed PLN 192,240 (raised) and PLN 57,672 (highest), that is 40 and 12 times the 2026 minimum wage. The highest level applies only to houses above 140 kWh/m² a year. The calculator above checks all these conditions at once.

Frequently asked questions

How is income per person calculated in Czyste Powietrze?

The income of all household members is divided by the number of people and the number of months. It is confirmed by a certificate from the municipality or social welfare centre, issued under the rules of the Family Benefits Act. Spouses without legal separation always form one household, even if they live apart.

Can I get a grant with income above PLN 135,000?

Not at the basic level: the PLN 135,000 threshold applies to the applicant’s own yearly income, not the whole household’s. With higher income, the thermal-modernisation relief in PIT remains, up to PLN 53,000 per taxpayer, covering among other things a heat pump, insulation and windows in a single-family house.

Does family benefit give the right to the highest level?

Yes. Entitlement to a permanent, periodic, family or special carer’s benefit, confirmed in the certificate, gives the highest level regardless of income per person. The business revenue cap still applies, however, as does the condition that the house uses more than 140 kWh/m² a year.
