I've been trying to research how taxes work in Poland but everything I’ve read so far seems very convoluted. Let's just assume that I live in PL and my houshold income is 40K PLN a month and no kids.

or,

If someone makes 480K PLN a year, how much overall taxes would they have to pay?

How much do you get to keep? Friend of mine told me that basically %70 of your household income is taken by the state. I think he’s nuts.

Do we have a tax savvy person here and willing to explain how this works in Poland?

It's not 70%, but it's still not pretty. But, remember that on top of income tax, there are quite a few indirect taxes as well. VAT, fuel tax, etc... http://www.calculateyournetsalary.com/calculate-net-salary-in-poland.h tml

convex Poland Gross Salary per Year 100,000 Country Taxes 19,926 So the tax in PL is only 20 %? You guys have lower taxes than in the united states. The US Gross Salary per Year 100000 Country Taxes 27581.82 27% You guys have it made. :)

About 36% in direct taxation for those earning less than 85k PLN a year.

Indirect (consumption) taxes - how long is a piece of string?

American taxes, on the whole, are lower than in Europe. A lot of this is undoubtedly due to the fact that Europe is far more subsidised - for instance, free university education in Poland versus extremely expensive American university education - but this isn't a 'tax'.

Expensive is a relative word. I'm a Polish immigrant. My family had no money, I had no money. My wife and I graduated from 3 different colleges (she got 2 degrees, obviously the better half), while living on my own, and no one gave me a dime. It's about opportunities and not about taxing the siht out of people.
