Average gross monthly wage in Poland’s enterprise sector reaches 8,736.49 PLN in Q1 2025

According to an official announcement from Statistics Poland, the average gross monthly wage and salary in the enterprise sector reached 8,736.49 PLN in the first quarter of 2025. The figure reflects the total earnings before tax and social security contributions, including basic wages, bonuses, and other financial benefits.

This data provides a key indicator of income trends within Poland’s business sector, which includes medium and large enterprises employing more than nine people. The reported amount is a nominal average and does not account for inflation or regional income differences.

Compared to the same period last year, the wage level indicates continued growth in earnings, which may be influenced by several factors. These include inflation-driven wage adjustments, growing labour demand in various industries, and increases in minimum wage levels introduced at the beginning of the year.

Labour market analysts are closely monitoring wage developments in the context of Poland’s broader economic conditions. The increase in average wages contributes to higher consumer spending potential but also raises questions about labour costs and productivity in key sectors.

The wage growth is also viewed in relation to ongoing discussions about labour shortages and wage pressures in specific industries such as construction, manufacturing, and IT. Economists suggest that while rising wages may support household income and reduce wage inequality, sustained wage growth needs to be aligned with productivity improvements to maintain competitiveness.
