🏛️ **State-pension safety net:** a full-career average earner in Poland retires on about **40.6%** of prior net pay from the mandatory state pension — a modest backstop (OECD, 2024).

This isn't subtracted from the FIRE numbers above — a state pension pays from pension age, not at early retirement — but it means your portfolio mainly needs to bridge the years until you qualify.
