Here is a breakdown of the 2026 personal income tax brackets for Poland, shown in PLN.
| Taxable income | Rate |
|---|---|
| zł0 – zł30,000 | 0% |
| zł30,000 – zł120,000 | 12% |
| Over zł120,000 | 32% |
How brackets work
A progressive bracket system only taxes the portion of income that falls inside each band at that band's rate — not your entire income at the top rate you reach. For example, if the first zł30,000 of income is taxed at a lower rate, only income above that threshold is taxed at the next rate up.
Worked example: zł120,000 income
- zł30,000–zł120,000 at 12% → zł10,800
- Total estimated tax: zł10,800 (9.0% effective rate)
This is the estimated tax before any deductions or credits are applied — see the deductions guide for what could lower this further. Run your own numbers with the calculator above to see exactly how much of your income falls into each bracket.
Always verify current-year brackets with Poland's tax authority before filing.
