Poland Minimum Wage Calculator 2026
This calculator shows the current statutory minimum wage in Poland for 2026 and estimates your net take-home pay. Select the half-year period and enter your monthly working hours — the tool instantly calculates the minimum hourly rate and approximate net pay after ZUS contributions and income tax. Data are sourced from the Council of Ministers' Regulation on minimum remuneration.
How we calculate the minimum wage
The minimum gross wage is taken from the current Council of Ministers' Regulation of 11 September 2025 (Journal of Laws 2025 item 1242): PLN 4806 and a statutory minimum hourly rate of PLN 31.40 in 2026. Both halves of 2026 use the same rates. Estimated net is calculated by subtracting: employee social contributions (13.71% × gross), health contribution (9% of the base after social contributions), and PIT advance (12% after PLN 250 deductible costs and the PLN 300 monthly tax credit when PIT-2 is filed).
Example: full-time, 2026
For a full-time employee in 2026: the minimum gross wage is PLN 4806 (for the whole year — no July increase). The minimum hourly rate is PLN 31.40. After deducting ZUS contributions (PLN 658.91), health contribution (PLN 373.24) and PIT advance (PLN 168), net pay is PLN 3605.85.
