🇵🇱 Poland Net Salary Calculator 2025
Poland's income tax is straightforward: 12% up to PLN 120,000 and 32% above, with a PLN 30,000 tax-free allowance. The 2022 Polski Ład reform raised that allowance significantly (from PLN 8,000), making a real difference for lower earners. The part that catches people off guard is the ZUS contributions: pension (9.76%), disability (1.5%), sickness (2.45%), and health (9%), which add another 22–23% to the effective deduction rate. All figures are in Polish złoty (PLN); 1 EUR ≈ 4.25 PLN.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the tax-free allowance (kwota wolna)?
The kwota wolna od podatku is PLN 30,000, the portion of your income that's completely exempt from income tax. It was raised as part of the 2022 Polski Ład reform (up from PLN 8,000), and at the 12% rate it saves every earner up to PLN 3,600 per year.
What is the ZUS cap?
Pension (emerytalne) and disability (rentowe) contributions are capped at 30 times the projected average monthly salary: PLN 234,720 in 2025. Once your cumulative earnings cross that threshold during the year, you stop paying these two. Sickness and health contributions have no cap.
Does the calculator include the health contribution (składka zdrowotna)?
Yes, it's included at 9%. Strictly speaking the base should be gross minus pension and disability contributions, but we apply it to full gross, so the overestimate is about 1–2%. Since the 2022 Polski Ład reform, the health contribution is no longer deductible from your income tax bill.
