What is the average pole salary?

Im just interested to know what is the average polish salary/wages out there?

I'll be more specific ; Wages for out of city dwellers, like small towns, borne sulinowo for example, and then compared with Warsaw, Gdansk, sopot, ect you get the gisk.

People have to remmeber the different from average salary and median salary.

Average salary is always distorted by the high earners For example in the UK the average salary is supposedly £26,000. However the median salary is £14,000.

Good point ikling. :)

thanks...whoops:)

The government is not lying: according to the Poland Central Statistical Office, the average gross income varies between 1200 zlotys for a chambermaid to 2000 zlotys for a bus driver.

Yup. After reading this thread you shouldn't be surprised that so many people are fleeing to England.

Hi guys,

I am a seasoned IT professional( Advanced degree) with 6 years work exp in the USA
( Health care, Telecommunications and Consulting background) looking for a career in IT management in Poland.
How hard is it to land a job in IT management and what is the pay structure like ?
Do any of you know any recruiters?
I am interested in opportunities around the Krakow area.

Look forward to hearing from all.

thank you.

That is absolute ********!! The average wage in Poland is around 2500 PLN a month.. In Warsaw it's 4200 PLN.. no guff, no opinion. I live here, it is what it is..

Ive got friends who earn 10 tys zl a month for doing bugger all, Ive got friends who earn the suposed monthly average for a few days work, I have friends who struggle to make ends meet on less than 10 zl an hour and I have friends who support their parents who survive for a month on what some tourists spend a night on beer.

even less

When you list the earnings 2500, 4200 or 10000...whatever, is it net pay or with taxes?

Average salary in Poland in q1 2008 reached 2983,98 zł gross. Thats 1362 $ and 883 euro.

And i think that the average salary in Warsaw is $30,000, right ?
Can someone tell me the average salary in Silesia, which is, if i remember well, the second richest region ?

Silesia isn't, but Katowice (together with Gdańsk) are on the first two places, Warsaw is only third (in recent statistics, Warsaw was always 1st before), anyway the differences are very small (like 50-100 złotych/month), and I think the average was about 2,900 zł gross/month for those 3 cities, so I'm not sure how 2983,98 zł can be average for the whole Poland, but probably I got the numbers wrong - they said those numbers in a recent TV news program and I wasn't really paying much attention :)

I don't think Silesia is that high. When the mining area was flourishing 20-30 years ago maybe but not now. Katowice attracts big businesses but, overall, Silesia is not such a wealthy region. The salaries are way below those in Krakow and Warsaw.

well I know that when my great great grandfather came to the united states, his brothers and sisters didnt want money, They wanted clothes, shoes, etc to sell in poland to make some money

3800 ;]

What is after all the average monthly gross salary in Krakow for 2008 until now? And what is the average amount of money that an individual has to pay for an apartment per month in Krakow? Please define your web - sources. It really helps.

For exmple, if someone earns 3,000 PLN gross per month, needs to rent an apartment can s/he live decent? And what if s/he earns 5,000 PLN groos per month, is s/he rich in Krakow?

Thank you for replying.

No. 3000 gross is 2000 net. Apartment costs 1500 a month plus the bills. So you end up with no money at all. 5000 is a different story.

That will do you fine in Krakow, during the summer i only work part time, and 3000 is easily enough to see me through each month. Average Teacher will earn about 3000 before making extra's through private lessons. You can live comfortable on 250 a week if you need too.

I was offered with 4800 zloty per month in Krakow, is it enough to have comfortable life? After all payments (1b flat and bills) should I feel as rich or poor? Thx

Please tell me.

This article is full of overstatements and exaggeration. Polaks have and will always complain, that is our nature. I have a family in Poland that b-tch and moan how hard it is to live there, that nobody has money blah, blah blah, yet everybody is building houses and buying new cars.

Stop exaggerating, complaining and most importantly being jealous.

Yeah but everything is on credit tho.

give it a couple more years and 1000pln will be worth more than $1000 anyway. poland is the place to be.
