Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 37 656 zł to pay you 208 000 zł. In other words, every time you spend 10 zł of your hard-earned money, 5.51 zł goes to the government.
Real tax rate
46.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 37% tax rate now rises to 46.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 208 000 zł a year living in Poland, you will be taxed 76 989 zł. That means that your net pay will be 131 011 zł per year, or 10 918 zł per month.
