All athletes competing in Paris can hope for PLN 100,000 (some EUR 23,350, USD 25,350) for a gold medal, PLN 70,000 for silver, and PLN 55,000 for bronze, Deputy Sports Minister Piotr Borys said on Friday.
Earlier this week, Polish lawmakers approved changes to sports funding rules, aiming to enhance financial support for athletes, particularly those with outstanding achievements.
A total of 210 Polish athletes, 97 men and 103 women, are set to compete in the Paris Games, which open on Friday.
Poland will be represented by athletes competing in 22 Olympic sports, including more than 60 track-and-field contestants and 20 swimmers.
The Polish Olympic team also includes a contingent of more than 200 coaches, doctors, physiotherapists and other personnel.
The Paris Olympics begin on Friday and run through to August 11.
Poland has a chance of winning 17 medals at the Summer Olympics in Paris, according to a prediction by sports data provider Gracenote.
Polish athletes brought home 14 medals, four gold, five silver and five bronze, from the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Summer Games, the national team's best haul this century.
At the Rio Summer Olympics in 2016, Poland won 11 medals, two gold, three silver and six bronze.
At the London Olympics in 2012, Team Poland scooped 10 medals, three gold, two silver and five bronze.
