Which taxation mode is best at 15.000 PLN/month?
At 15.000 PLN/month, Ryczałt nets the most, at approximately 128.684 PLN/year (28.5% effective deduction rate). This can shift at different revenue levels or if you have significant deductible business costs (which favor skala or liniowy over ryczałt), so it's worth re-checking as your rate changes.

How much do I pay in ZUS at this revenue level?
ZUS is a fixed monthly amount regardless of your revenue or chosen taxation mode: PLN 1,926.76/month (2026 standard "duży ZUS" rate) if you include the voluntary sickness contribution, or PLN 1,788.27/month without it. This doesn't change whether you invoice 15.000 PLN or twice that amount.

Why does my NFZ health insurance differ between modes?
NFZ is calculated differently per mode. Under skala it's 9% of income; under liniowy it's 4.9% of income; under ryczałt it's a flat monthly amount based on which of three annual-revenue bands you fall into (PLN 60,000 and PLN 300,000 are the thresholds). At 15.000 PLN/month (180.000 PLN/year), this creates real differences in your NFZ bill across modes: see the comparison table above.
5
Does this figure include deductible business costs?
Only partially. Ryczałt allows no business-cost deductions by design (the social ZUS paid and half the health contribution are deducted, and included here), so that figure doesn't depend on your expenses. Skala and liniowy figures here use revenue minus ZUS as a simplified cost base rather than modeling itemized expenses (equipment, home office, accounting fees): if you have significant real deductible costs, your actual skala/liniowy tax bill would be lower than shown.
Figures reflect 2026 Polish tax-year rates (Ministry of Finance skala/liniowy brackets, ZUS "duży ZUS" standard contribution, and NFZ health-insurance rules) verified via current Polish accounting-industry sources. Ryczałt IT rate (12%) applies to general software development; some narrower service categories may qualify for 8.5%: confirm your PKWiU classification with an accountant.
