How the minimum wage calculator works

For employment contracts: gross = 4666 PLN × working-time fraction. For mandate/service contracts: gross = 30.50 PLN/h × hours per month. The calculator then deducts employee ZUS contributions (13.71%), calculates the PIT base (gross – ZUS – KUP 300 PLN) and the PIT advance (12% of base minus 300 PLN monthly relief). Net = gross – ZUS – PIT advance. Results are indicative and exclude PPK contributions and special reliefs.

Example: employment contract, full time

For a full-time employment contract at the 2026 minimum (4666 PLN gross): employee ZUS contributions (13.71%) ≈ 639 PLN, PIT base after deductible costs ≈ 3727 PLN, PIT advance (12% minus 300 PLN relief) ≈ 147 PLN. Net take-home ≈ 3880 PLN. The calculator gives the precise estimate after you enter the working-time fraction.
