Self-Employed ZUS Contributions Calculator
Calculate ZUS social and health insurance contributions for self-employed individuals in Poland. Covers standard ZUS, small ZUS plus, and preferential (reduced) ZUS.
Enter your income for the previous year — the calculator returns the contribution base and monthly ZUS contributions under Maly ZUS Plus.
Base = 50% × (annual income / 12), min. 30% of the minimum wage (≈1399.80 PLN), max. 60% of the forecast average wage (≈4694.55 PLN). The contribution rates are the same as for full ZUS.
Base = 60,000 / 12 × 50% = 2500 PLN. Total social contributions ≈ 820 PLN/month + health ≈ 450 PLN.
It is a relief that lets small Polish sole traders pay social contributions based on income instead of the standard fixed base.
Sole traders whose revenue in the previous year did not exceed 120,000 PLN and who meet ZUS eligibility conditions.
The base is 50% of average monthly income, bounded by a statutory minimum and maximum tied to the minimum and average wage.
You can use it for up to 36 months within a 60-month period, after which standard ZUS applies.
The health contribution follows its own rules and is generally not reduced by Maly ZUS Plus.
No — you typically use the preferential ZUS first for new businesses, then may move on to Maly ZUS Plus afterwards.
This result is indicative. The conditions of Maly ZUS Plus may change. Consult ZUS or a tax adviser.
