Real tax rate
45.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 34.7% tax rate now rises to 45.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 160 000 zł a year living in Poland, you will be taxed 55 442 zł. That means that your net pay will be 104 558 zł per year, or 8 713 zł per month.
