Quick answer: how IT salaries in Poland work

Polish IT job offers are usually shown as gross salary (UoP) or net invoice (B2B). Net salary depends on contract type, taxes and social security. Employment contracts usually offer paid vacation and stronger protection. B2B may pay more net, but shifts taxes, accounting, unpaid breaks and business risk to you.

CASH

Gross salary is not net salary

Net is often roughly 25-35% lower, depending on contract type and assumptions.

SAFE

ZUS costs are a major part of payroll

ZUS is Poland's national social insurance and pension system.

B2B

B2B invoices need a risk buffer

Unpaid vacation, sick days, accounting and downtime should be priced into the invoice.

MED

Median salary is often more realistic

The average is often lifted by high earners, while the median shows the middle.
