From next year, a very large increase in the minimum wage is being prepared (it will be carried out twice). Check what the current minimum wage is and how it was affected by the tax changes introduced a few months ago. In the gallery we also present calculations for wages higher than the minimum wage – see the net rates for sample wages after tax changes under the “Polish Deal” program.

3010 PLN gross is the minimum wage in Poland. For comparison, the average salary in Q1 2022 was PLN 6,235.22 gross (data from the Central Statistical Office). Poland is struggling with high inflation, and the rise in prices is particularly felt by those on the minimum wage. Next year, the government announces a large increase in the minimum wage – it is to be raised twice – in January and July 2023 (more on this topic later in the article).

The minimum wage increased by PLN 210 in January 2022 and amounts to PLN 3010 grossand the minimum hourly wage – 19.70 PLN gross.
The increase in salary to PLN 3010 gross meansthat the employee would get around PLN 2210 “on hand” under the previous rules. However, if we calculate the remuneration taking into account tax changes as part of the “Polish Order”, the minimum net salary will amount to over PLN 2,363.56.
