When you arranging for work in Poland in 2019, please note that the minimum salary by employment contract must be at least 2250 zł brutto. Or, say, 1800 zł brutto + 450 zł bonus – this option is also considered. In pure sense it comes out about 1634 zł netto.

The hourly salary is also increasing in 2019. From 13.70 zł brutto (about 9, 74 zł netto) to 14.70 zł brutto (about 10.55 zł netto).

It looks very perspective. If we look at the growth trend of the minimum salary in Poland, we will note that salaries are increasing every year. For example, in 2017 – 2000 zł brutto, 2018 – 2100 zł brutto, 2019 – 2250 zł brutto. Will the minimum wage in Poland continue to grow? We don’t know exactly.
