There are separate limits for each type of elections on the amount election committee can spend.

The expenditure limit in elections to the Sejm of the Republic of Poland is calculated by multiplying the number of voters in the country included in voter registers  by PLN 0.87 (regularly indexed value,, PLN 0.87 in 2019) and the total number of deputies elected in all constituencies in which the committee registered the lists of candidates, and then dividing the result obtained by the number 460.

The expenditure limit for elections to the Senate of the Republic of Poland is calculated on the basis of art. 259 § 1 of the Electoral Code by multiplying the number of voters in the country included in the voter registers by PLN 0.19 (regularly indexed value, PLN 0.19 in 2019) and by the number of constituencies in which the committee registered candidates for senators, and then dividing the result by 100.

The expenditure limit for the election committee, which has submitted both candidates to the Sejm and the Senate, is calculated by adding up the limits set for elections to each of these bodies. In the elections to the Sejm and Senate in 2019, the maximum possible spending limit was nearly PLN 32 million (about EUR 7.5 million).

In the presidential election, the spending limit is set for each election committee by multiplying the number of voters in the country listed in the electoral register by PLN 0.64. The expenditure limit on the election campaign in the election of the President of the Republic of Poland planned for 2020 is about PLN 19 million (EUR 4.4 million).

The expenditure limit for elections to the European Parliament is calculated by multiplying the amount of PLN 0.64 by the number of voters in the country included in the registers of voters in constituencies in which the committee has registered lists of candidates. In the elections to the European Parliament in 2019, the maximum possible spending limit was about PLN 19 million (EUR 4.4 million).
