How to read the table
The "Gross (PLN)" column is the gross salary, "Net in January" is the amount paid in the first month, and "Average net per year" is the monthly average after changes during the year. "Employee ZUS contributions" covers pension, disability and sickness, "Health contribution" and "PIT advance" are deductions, and "Employer cost" is gross plus the employer's contributions. Rows marked * are those in which net pay changes during the year; the explanation is below the table.
Why net pay changes during the year
January and average net pay differ when during the year you cross the PIT threshold of 120,000 PLN or the 30x contribution cap (282,600 PLN in 2026). For example, at 30,000 PLN gross in 2026 the January net pay is PLN 20,781.17 and the yearly average is PLN 18,081.91, because the PIT advance rises from May and pension and disability contributions stop from November (the cap is crossed in October). Rows marked * in the table are those amounts.

With the relief for young people net pay would be higher, because the PIT advance is 0 up to the relief limit.
