UoP Salary Calculator FAQ

What is the difference between brutto and netto salary in Poland?
Brutto (gross) is the salary stated in your contract. Netto (net) is what actually arrives in your bank account after deductions: employee ZUS contributions (13.71%), health contribution (9% of the base after ZUS), and income tax (PIT). The gap between brutto and netto is typically 25-30% for standard employment.
What is PIT-2 and should I file it?
PIT-2 is a declaration filed with your employer that authorizes them to deduct the monthly tax credit (300 PLN/month, equivalent to the kwota wolna of 30,000 PLN). If you file PIT-2, your monthly net is higher. If you don't file it, the same amount is returned at annual tax filing. Most employees with one employer should file PIT-2.
What are koszty uzyskania przychodu (KUP)?
KUP is a fixed monthly deduction from your tax base. Standard KUP is 250 PLN/month (3,000 PLN/year) for employees commuting within the same municipality. Podwyższone KUP is 300 PLN/month (3,600 PLN/year) for employees commuting from another municipality. This reduces your taxable income and therefore your PIT.
What is PPK and how does it affect my salary?
PPK (Pracownicze Plany Kapitałowe) is a workplace pension scheme. The default employee contribution is 2% of gross (deducted from your net salary), and the employer contributes 1.5% of gross. PPK reduces your net salary but builds retirement savings. You can opt out within 7 days of enrollment.
What is ulga dla młodych (under-26 tax relief)?
If you are under 26 years old, your income from UoP (and certain other contracts) up to 85,528 PLN per year is exempt from income tax (PIT). You still pay ZUS contributions and health insurance. This relief applies automatically, so no separate application is needed.
How much does my employer really pay for my salary?
The total employer cost is your gross salary plus employer-side ZUS contributions (approximately 20.48% of gross: emerytalne 9.76%, rentowe 6.5%, wypadkowe ~1.67%, FP 2.45%, FGŚP 0.10%) plus employer PPK if applicable. For an 8,000 PLN gross salary, the total employer cost is approximately 9,638 PLN.
When does the 32% tax rate apply in Poland?
The 32% rate (second tax bracket on skala podatkowa) applies to annual taxable income above 120,000 PLN. Below that threshold, the rate is 12%. Additionally, the first 30,000 PLN of income is tax-free (kwota wolna). For most employees earning up to about 12,800 PLN gross/month, the 12% rate applies all year.
How is total employer cost calculated?
Your employer pays your gross salary plus roughly 20.48% in extra ZUS: emerytalne (9.76%), rentowe (6.5%), wypadkowe (~1.67%), Fundusz Pracy (2.45%), and FGŚP (0.10%). With PPK, add another 1.5% on top. So for 10,000 PLN gross, the real employer cost comes out around 12,048 PLN before PPK.
