PwC: Net wages in Poland remain below the EU average

The net salary, i.e. the amount the employee receives after deducting all compulsory taxes and contributions amounted in Poland to approx. 71 percent of the full salary in the case of the average single earner and 77 percent in the case of the average earning family, in 2018. The former means a drop in the ranking of EU countries from the 15th to the 17th place, while in the case of family earnings Poland maintained its position, although both are below the average for the European Union, according to the PwC report “Work in the EU – taxes and contributions.”
Cyprus (91 percent) and Estonia (83 percent) ranked at the top with the highest net remuneration, the report reads.
