How net pay is calculated
From gross we subtract the employee's social contributions: pension 9.76%, disability 1.5% and sickness 2.45%. The health contribution is 9% of the amount left after social contributions.
The tax base is gross minus social contributions minus tax-deductible costs (PLN 250 a month). The PIT advance is 12% up to PLN 120,000 of annual base and 32% above it, reduced by the tax-free amount of PLN 3,600 a year, which is 300 PLN a month when you file PIT-2.
Pension and disability contributions stop once the annual cap of PLN 282,600 is reached. The calculator works this out month by month.
