Karol Nawrocki launched the proposal during a meeting with pensioners in the central town of Sochaczew.
He said the bill, titled "Retiring with Dignity," aimed to ensure that older Poles receive fair recognition for their contribution to the country’s economy.
It will now be submitted to parliament for debate.
"It is in the interest of the Polish state to be sensitive to those who need support," Nawrocki said, calling the proposal a fulfilment of his campaign pledge for a "fair indexation of pensions."
Under the bills, pensions would be indexed both as a percentage and by a fixed amount, guaranteeing an increase of at least PLN 150 (EUR 35) for the lowest benefits.
Currently, the minimum pension in Poland stands at PLN 1,878.91 (EUR 442) before tax.
Nawrocki added that he hoped the bill would gain cross-party backing in parliament, saying that "Poland in the 21st century deserves a minimum pension of at least PLN 2,000."
The president also criticised Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s government, noting that its campaign promise of a twice-yearly pension adjustment had not been fulfilled.
"If the government does not deliver on its pledge, I believe parliament will still support this bill, because seniors deserve these solutions," the president said.
Poland’s Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) adjusts pensions and disability benefits annually.
Last year, the adjustment was based on a 3.6 percent rise in the consumer price index and a 9.5 percent increase in average wages.
