Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 6 143 zł to pay you 30 000 zł. In other words, every time you spend 10 zł of your hard-earned money, 4.20 zł goes to the government.
Real tax rate
34.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.5% tax rate now rises to 34.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 13.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 30 000 zł a year living in Poland, you will be taxed 6 443 zł. That means that your net pay will be 23 557 zł per year, or 1 963 zł per month. Your average tax rate is 21.5% and your marginal tax rate is 21.5%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of 100 zł in your salary will be taxed 21.48 zł, hence, your net pay will only increase by 78.52 zł.
Bonus Example
A 1 000 zł bonus will generate an extra 785 zł of net incomes. A 5 000 zł bonus will generate an extra 3 926 zł of net incomes.
