Due to very high inflation, the real value of our payouts is decreasing from month to month. From January 2022, the minimum gross salary is PLN 3010. It is the lowest earners who are particularly affected by inflation. The government has announced that in 2023 the minimum wage will be increased twice. The most important information on the applicable minimum wage can be found below. In the gallery, you can check how the net wages changed after the introduction of tax changes at the beginning of the year (calculations for the minimum wage and examples of higher wages).

Persons receiving the minimum wage receive more “on hand” thanks to the tax changes introduced at the beginning of the year (the tax-free amount was increased to PLN 30,000). How has this affected our salaries?

The calculations that we present in the gallery were made on the basis of the official, updated salary calculator, which is on government sites. It takes into account tax changes as part of the “Polish Order” and allows you to check what is the difference in the net salary in 2022 compared to the salary before the tax changes.
How much do you gain annually? Here’s how the net salaries of Poles were affected by tax changes.

For our calculations, we assumed that the employee:
- receives the same salary every month
- does not work outside the place of residence
- he is entitled to an amount reducing the tax due (PIT-2 submitted)

The minimum wage has increased by PLN 210 since January 2022. Currently, the minimum wage for work in Poland is 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.
Worth knowing:
Under the applicable law, the minimum wage does not include:
▶ overtime allowance;
▶ jubilee award;
▶ retirement severance pay;
▶ disability severance pay.

Law and Justice is preparing further major tax changes. One of the most important is the reduction of PIT from 17 to 12 percent. If the ruling party approves all changes, they are to come into force in July.
