Minimum hourly rate 2026: 31.40 zł gross

January 1, 2026

From 1 January 2026 the minimum hourly rate for an umowa zlecenie and an umowa o świadczenie usług is 31.40 zł gross (30.50 zł in 2025). The minimum wage on an employment contract is 4,806 zł gross.

Who it applies to

The rate applies to an umowa zlecenie and an umowa o świadczenie usług with a private person. The parties should agree in the contract how hours are counted. If they did not, the contractor reports how many hours they worked.

When the rate does not apply

The minimum rate does not apply when all of these hold at once: you decide where you do the work, you decide when, and you are paid by commission (prowizja) only.

What it means for couriers

In delivery apps you are usually paid per order, not per hour. Check your contract with the partner to see how your pay is calculated and whether it provides for recording hours.

You see the fee for every order in the app before you accept it.
