Gross vs net on employment contract
On a Polish employment contract, job ads usually show monthly gross salary. The amount paid to your bank account is lower because social contributions, health contribution and income tax are deducted.
Example: a mid UI/UX in Warsaw, Krakow or Wroclaw has a source range of PLN 10,500–14,500 gross/month. A useful central benchmark is approximately PLN 12,000 gross/month, which is roughly PLN 7,488–10,215 net under simplified ZarobTo assumptions.
Brutto vs netto explained simplyB2B invoice vs estimated take-home
UI/UX B2B benchmarks are monthly net invoice amounts, excluding VAT. This is not personal take-home pay. From a B2B invoice you still need to cover taxes, ZUS, accounting, business costs, unpaid vacation, unpaid sick leave and downtime.
Example: a mid UI/UX B2B benchmark in the largest cities is PLN 12,000–17,000 net of VAT/month on an invoice. A useful central benchmark is approximately PLN 14,500 net of VAT/month. The real take-home amount depends on tax form, ZUS, costs and unpaid breaks.

A good UI/UX salary depends on seniority, city, contract type, real take-home pay and the risk you accept. Compare the offer with similar roles, then estimate net salary or B2B take-home before deciding.
What affects the salary?
Senior ranges usually require evidence of product impact, clear portfolio cases, stakeholder work and ability to ship with engineering rather than only static screens.
