In light of the ongoing global economic crisis, it is crucial for everyone to prioritize investing in diverse sources of income that are not reliant on the government. This includes exploring opportunities in stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies. Despite the challenging economic situation, it remains a favorable time to consider these investments.
Thank you for being informative about minimum wage. It is quite important to understand that some starting jobs do not pay enough to cover expensess presented in your video about cost of living in Poland. As a minimum wage worker it is better to rent a room or share an apartment with friends. Otherwise it might not be feasible from financial point of view. On the brightside, there are starting jobs which pay more than enough (e.g. IT) to be able to afford living on your own in an apartment.

Hi Veronica, How are you? Thank you for sharing all the videos about Poland. I am from India and I will be shifting to Katowice Poland on work visa. I have son and his age is 9 and I would like to take admission for him in English School. Could you please suggest any good school with 25000 PLN to 30000 PLN for a year.? It would be very helpful for me if you give me the information. Regards
Hello Manish! We’re glad that you like our videos :) In Katowice there are a few English schools, but we don’t know the standards in any of them, so we can’t recommend any.

Hello! That's very important topic. Hence, since we specialize in rentals, we don't know if we have enough experience to talk about such issue in detail 🙄 but we'll add this to the bucket list ;)
Hi, nice video:) I have a question though. If up to 120K tax is 17%, and higher than 120K is by 32%. Does it mean that a person who earns 120K is getting higher monthly net salary than a person a person who gets 126K a year due to this ? Or only the the additional 6K will be taxed 32% ?
Most peoples in the cities earn much more then minimum salary. It depends on profession you have. In some sectors purchasing power can be greater than in Germany
@@michalziobro7890 I know but still living in Poland is a challenge when you earn 3-4 times less than in the UK for example and the prices are almost the same high
@@zikoadrian6059 I dont think so. The only drawbacks is that Tesla or vacation in foreign countries cost more. But just living in Poland is No difference. You earn 3.5-4k euro/month netto. Ok in Germany or Uk maybe you earn 4.5-5.5k euro netto/month but things like apartments or services are half the price.
@@michalziobro7890 def. not earning that with the German Tax system. Takes away like 50% of your salary 😂 costs are crazy, even when you own a house, or maybe especially when you own a house, maintaining it is expensive as building material cost have exploded, not to mention the builder costs. But then they want more tax for property at the same time they tell you your house is worth less😂 despite living space is scarce due to all the ppl coming in... it is pure craziness. We def. are thinking to leave, it is not even safe anymore. I won't go out in the dark since a couple incidents without my husband (who is a Pole actually) or our German Shepherd. Sad reality.

I have a question please, my wife will give birth in November, however her work permit is ready and she will be signing the contract with Polish company in December, does she have a right for maternity and what is the process to follow
Hi, Raouf! The maternity leave in Poland takes 20 weeks. The maternity pension depends on the salary from last 12 months (before birth). We really don't know how about signing agreement right after giving birth - if it's even possible. The best way is to ask the employer. You can also ask the community, here's the link to our group to ask the question: facebook.com/groups/293890911818770 :)

Hi there. The channel is well produced with some good attention to details. Okay son that’s enough of waffling… so you saying that an average a monthly wage circulates around €600 if you are a labourer and around €1200 when you got a degree and you are obviously lucky enough to work in a corporate environment. Well… looking at the current prices in EU that is shockingly low . It looks like living in any other Western European country you would make you a minimum three times better off on average . My advice to all none EU citizens would be to post pone your plans of coming to Poland . If you able to obtain a visa to get to one of the western countries in Europe then you should do it instead. No disrespect … Poland is lovely country to visit or invest your money in especially due to a low taxes and a cheap labour. It’s definitely not a country if you are not a properly skilled person or if you do not have a higher education ( which probably wouldn’t be recognised by a local government bodies anyway).Let’s summarise it . Obviously Poland is financially not attractive for any other EU citizens but If you are a from a developing world and for some reasons you still want to come and live in Poland then IT industry is probably the way to go . Your qualifications will be recognised and your salary might get around €1200 per calendar month . There’s one more caveat … this is not an “English ecosystem country” people do not speak English there . I am not talking about some woke ass teenagers living an online life I am talking about a regular citizens and every day life .I used to live in Poland for sone time and I do know what I am talking about . Peace and out friends .
Thanks for your insight! Indeed, our average wage cannot compare to Western countries, but also cost of accommodation or services is lower. Anyway, our economy grows and the new technologies sector is in permanent need for skilled professionals, so that's a nice business opportunity to some people, exactly as you said :) Cheers!
I received a visa for a job in Poland but the job is 4-5 hrs a day from Mon-Fri. I was wondering if I could apply for another job (an additional work permit) to work in the mornings?
Hello Naomi! We've been trying to find information but most examples describe cases of changing employer along your stay (not having two different at the same time). Anyway it seems like working at certain company without a work permit issued for this particular company and position is illegal. This is what we also found: "When you work on the basis of your employer’s declaration, and wish to work in another company, you should also have a declaration of your new employer, registered by him in a county labour office". The best idea is to ask other expats in Poland so they can help. Here you can join our grup and ask the community: facebook.com/groups/293890911818770 Regards and good luck!
Hi, thank you very much for the information :) I'm a foreigner but have Polish citizenship because of my grandparents... I'd like to know more about self-employment, since I'm a Translator and would work for clients in other parts of the world. Thank you!
Thanks for an amazing overview on working structure , pattern and facilities. I have one request can you cover the child primary education cost both public and private.
Thanks, Amit! As for the costs: the public schools in Poland are free of charge. Also schoolbooks in primary school are for free. Of course there are always some costs involved (stationery products, lunch if at school, etc). Private education prices are very different, depending on city and school, and the range is from 600-700 to even 3000+ zł. It's very individual question. So you definitely need to earn more than average wage to pay a private education for your kid. Hope this answered your question :)
@@wellcomehome Thank you so much, one more question I was trying to get an answer on from last week. It is super super important. I have received a work permit from one employer, my visa interview is not done yet as I have to get my physical work permit and other documents from them. Meanwhile I have other offers as well from a different employer so my question is can I ask for one more work permit from a different employer as they are giving more benefit. Is there will be any issue with the duplication, remember my visa process is not started yet

The production quality is quite good. you defintiely should have way more subs that 540. Maybe its because your content is quite niche??. In any case, thanks very much for the info
Hello Samarth! Did you see our video about costs of living in Poland (th-cam.com/video/DpwyptJsrH8/w-d-xo.html). We provide there an average calculation of monthly expenses for one person. 17000 zloty is a good sum, but if this will be enough, we can't tell you. Monthly spendings are very individual and depends on many factors: number of people in the household, type and cost of flat, type of food you eat, means of transport you use. You'd have to calculate this for your household yourself concerning provided costs. Cheers!
Hi @Bishal Biswas! The minimum monthly wage is 3010 PLN (gross), at minimum wage you don't pay tax at all. When discounting your contribution as an employee (old-age pension contribution, sickness insurance), the basis for taxation is lover than the tax free amount - 30 000 PLN. This means that if you get 3000 PLN you don't pay income tax :)

Hi There! Your question is really tough one and we're not tax experts and everything depends on the contract you work on. If you want to know more, send us e-mail and we'll try to find an answer for you :)
Thanks for this heads up…really appreciate it. However, I need a small favour from you. I’ve been offered 21000 zlote per month gross salary and I’ll be moving to Poland along my wife and little daughter. Could you calculate my net salary given all this information. I tried that link which you have shared in the video description but I feel that it is not calculating correct when 32% tax rate needs to be levied. Your response and help will be appreciated. Thanks!
Hello! Unfortunately, it's very hard to say how much exactly it will be. From you salary it will be deducted the income tax, old-age pension contribution, sickness insurance. It also depend on where you live. The calculator that we provide should give you the information. And if you're not sure that the value in the calculator is correct, you can always confirm that with your employer :)

Hi Anto! There are many variables, so there's no one correct answer. There're also some other costs like old-age pension insurance, sickness insurance etc. So your gross and net is not only tax. But to give you an example: if you have 5000 zł gross, it'll be around 3600 net. Tax is around 450 zł.
@@wellcomehome thank u for infor . So old age pension is applicable for all type of contracts? For example if I stay in Poland for 2 years only . Then the pension which I paid will go useless rite ?
@@antodarwin8707 yes, old age pension applies to all types of contract. Then, it depends on your country if it accepts also Polish labor experience when calculating your old age pension.

Hi hw do i apply and hw can i get a good agent
Hi! We recommend the Reloc agency - they specialize in immigration and legal issues :)
I have a question please, my wife will give birth in November, however her work permit is ready and she will be signing the contract with Polish company in December, does she have a right for maternity and what is the process to follow
Hi, Raouf! The maternity leave in Poland takes 20 weeks. The maternity pension depends on the salary from last 12 months (before birth). We really don't know how about signing agreement right after giving birth - if it's even possible.
The best way is to ask the employer. You can also ask the community, here's the link to our group to ask the question: facebook.com/groups/293890911818770 :)

Whar about openeing a new business (such as small shop) in Poland for foreigners (eg. student visa holder), is there any specific requirement?
Hi @1988bakkar! In general if you're an EU citizen, the European Economic Area citizen, citizen of the USA and of the Swiss Confederation you can set up a business in Poland.
If you want to know more on this website you should find information: www.biznes.gov.pl/en/firma/doing-business-in-poland/running-business-by-foreigners-in-poland/what-type-of-business-activity-may-be-conducted-in-poland-by-foreigners23

hello. i want to know more about self employed contract: TRC requirements, documentation, benefits to other EU countries, difference to A1 contract if there is any. thanks in advance 🙂
Hi Pinoy. Unfortunately, we don't specialize in labor market but long-term lease. But if you want, contact us at hello@wellcome-home.com so we'll try to send you some useful information :)
Hi there. The channel is well produced with some good attention to details. Okay son that’s enough of waffling… so you saying that an average a monthly wage circulates around €600 if you are a labourer and around €1200 when you got a degree and you are obviously lucky enough to work in a corporate environment. Well… looking at the current prices in EU that is shockingly low . It looks like living in any other Western European country you would make you a minimum three times better off on average . My advice to all none EU citizens would be to post pone your plans of coming to Poland . If you able to obtain a visa to get to one of the western countries in Europe then you should do it instead. No disrespect … Poland is lovely country to visit or invest your money in especially due to a low taxes and a cheap labour. It’s definitely not a country if you are not a properly skilled person or if you do not have a higher education ( which probably wouldn’t be recognised by a local government bodies anyway).Let’s summarise it . Obviously Poland is financially not attractive for any other EU citizens but If you are a from a developing world and for some reasons you still want to come and live in Poland then IT industry is probably the way to go . Your qualifications will be recognised and your salary might get around €1200 per calendar month . There’s one more caveat … this is not an “English ecosystem country” people do not speak English there . I am not talking about some woke ass teenagers living an online life I am talking about a regular citizens and every day life .I used to live in Poland for sone time and I do know what I am talking about . Peace and out friends .
Thanks for your insight! Indeed, our average wage cannot compare to Western countries, but also cost of accommodation or services is lower. Anyway, our economy grows and the new technologies sector is in permanent need for skilled professionals, so that's a nice business opportunity to some people, exactly as you said :) Cheers!

I received a visa for a job in Poland but the job is 4-5 hrs a day from Mon-Fri. I was wondering if I could apply for another job (an additional work permit) to work in the mornings?
Hello Naomi!
We've been trying to find information but most examples describe cases of changing employer along your stay (not having two different at the same time). Anyway it seems like working at certain company without a work permit issued for this particular company and position is illegal. This is what we also found: "When you work on the basis of your employer’s declaration, and wish to work in another company, you should also have a declaration of your new employer, registered by him in a county labour office".
The best idea is to ask other expats in Poland so they can help.

hi Carolina! Thanks for your comment! We'll try to ta;lk more about that issue
Thanks for an amazing overview on working structure , pattern and facilities. I have one request can you cover the child primary education cost both public and private.
Thanks, Amit! As for the costs: the public schools in Poland are free of charge. Also schoolbooks in primary school are for free. Of course there are always some costs involved (stationery products, lunch if at school, etc). Private education prices are very different, depending on city and school, and the range is from 600-700 to even 3000+ zł. It's very individual question. So you definitely need to earn more than average wage to pay a private education for your kid. Hope this answered your question :)
@@wellcomehome Thank you so much, one more question I was trying to get an answer on from last week. It is super super important.
I have received a work permit from one employer, my visa interview is not done yet as I have to get my physical work permit and other documents from them. Meanwhile I have other offers as well from a different employer so my question is can I ask for one more work permit from a different employer as they are giving more benefit. Is there will be any issue with the duplication, remember my visa process is not started yet

17000 zloty is good salary to move in Wrocław with family?
Hello Samarth! Did you see our video about costs of living in Poland (th-cam.com/video/DpwyptJsrH8/w-d-xo.html). We provide there an average calculation of monthly expenses for one person. 17000 zloty is a good sum, but if this will be enough, we can't tell you. Monthly spendings are very individual and depends on many factors: number of people in the household, type and cost of flat, type of food you eat, means of transport you use. You'd have to calculate this for your household yourself concerning provided costs. Cheers!
If a salary of immigrant is 3000 polish does he needs to pay tax...?
Hi @Bishal Biswas!
The minimum monthly wage is 3010 PLN (gross), at minimum wage you don't pay tax at all. When discounting your contribution as an employee (old-age pension contribution, sickness insurance), the basis for taxation is lover than the tax free amount - 30 000 PLN. This means that if you get 3000 PLN you don't pay income tax :)

How much is a medical Doctor's pay per month(net salary)?
Hi! According to the newest data from October 2020 (the research is done once every 2 years), the average salary of a doctor is 10909,24 PLN. The date is taken from this report (it's in English too) if you're interested ;) bit.ly/3pkaKeG
Music is unbearable.
Thank you for your comment and opinion. It's highly appreciated!
How about someone who is on remote set up? The company isn’t in Poland , and the company has asked to pay the taxes on your own? What will be the tax slab for that? And will that person pay monthly taxes or yearly and how much ??
Hi There! Your question is really tough one and we're not tax experts and everything depends on the contract you work on. If you want to know more, send us e-mail and we'll try to find an answer for you :)
Sure can I have your email ?
Thanks for this heads up…really appreciate it.
However, I need a small favour from you. I’ve been offered 21000 zlote per month gross salary and I’ll be moving to Poland along my wife and little daughter. Could you calculate my net salary given all this information. I tried that link which you have shared in the video description but I feel that it is not calculating correct when 32% tax rate needs to be levied. Your response and help will be appreciated. Thanks!
Hello! Unfortunately, it's very hard to say how much exactly it will be. From you salary it will be deducted the income tax, old-age pension contribution, sickness insurance. It also depend on where you live. The calculator that we provide should give you the information. And if you're not sure that the value in the calculator is correct, you can always confirm that with your employer :)

can you explain about civil contract ? what would be taxation for those who under civil contract ?
Hi Anto! There are many variables, so there's no one correct answer. There're also some other costs like old-age pension insurance, sickness insurance etc. So your gross and net is not only tax. But to give you an example:
if you have 5000 zł gross, it'll be around 3600 net. Tax is around 450 zł.
@@wellcomehome thank u for infor . So old age pension is applicable for all type of contracts?
For example if I stay in Poland for 2 years only . Then the pension which I paid will go useless rite ?
@@antodarwin8707 yes, old age pension applies to all types of contract. Then, it depends on your country if it accepts also Polish labor experience when calculating your old age pension.

Apart from the tax rates you mentioned of 0, 17 & 32%, is there anything else to deduct from the salary? Like social security pay?
And how much is the extra cost to the employer, on top of the gross salary?
Thanks!
Hello Salva! The difference in your gross and net salary includes income tax + National Health Fund contributions + health insurance. On top of that there are additional premiums that the employer pays for you - we talk about the difference in all these values from the minute 4:55.
