Households with one child will be able to count on a loan with an interest rate of 1 percent, those with two children – 0.5 percent, and households with at least three children – 0 percent.

#forStart. Income criterion

The condition for obtaining subsidies will be meeting the income criterion. It was based on the first tax threshold, i.e. annual income of PLN 120,000 gross. In the program, the criterion will be modified as the number of household members increases. It will amount to:

• 7 thousand PLN net per month for a single-person household,

• 13 thousand PLN net per month for a two-person household,

• 16 thousand PLN net per month for a three-person household,

• 19.5 thousand PLN net per month for a four-person or larger household,

• 23 thousand PLN net per month for a five-person or larger household.

However, exceeding the limits will not mean exclusion from the program. Borrowers whose households exceed the limit will also be able to receive a new loan, but in their case the subsidy will be reduced. If a single-person household exceeds the limit, for each zloty exceeding the limit, the subsidy will be reduced by 50 groszy, and in the case of a two-person or larger household, by 25 groszy.

An area criterion is also provided for, which will apply only to housing loans granted as mortgage loans for the purchase of a mixed-use apartment or a single-family house or a cooperative ownership right to the premises. It will not apply to house construction or housing loans granted as consumer loans. In the case of a single-person household, this limit was set at 50 m2 and it was proposed to increase it by 25 m2 for each additional household member.
