Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 62 639 zł to pay you 800 000 zł. In other words, every time you spend 10 zł of your hard-earned money, 4.89 zł goes to the government.
Real tax rate
45.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 41% tax rate now rises to 45.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 800 000 zł a year living in Poland, you will be taxed 328 267 zł. That means that your net pay will be 471 733 zł per year, or 39 311 zł per month. Your average tax rate is 41.0% and your marginal tax rate is 42.4%. 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 42.44 zł, hence, your net pay will only increase by 57.56 zł.
