Some facts

Currently (as of 2020), taxpayers who settle on general rules are subject to the so-called tax thresholds. This means that the tax rate (percentage) depends on achieved incomes. Until September 2019, income below 85 528 PLN was taxed with 18% rate. Starting from October 2019 the rate for the first threshold was reduced to 17%. Income above this amount is taxed with 32% rate.
Because the tax rates changed during the tax year, the annual settlement for income earned during 2019 should use effective 17.75% tax rate:

$\frac{8}{12} \times 18\% + \frac{3}{12} \times 17\% = 17.75\%$
Details of tax changes introduced in 2019 can be found in Act of August 30, 2019 on the amendment the Act on personal income tax and the Act amending the act on personal income tax and some other acts.
The tax base (ie the amount from which the tax is calculated) is the sum of revenues obtained in a given year decreased by social insurance contributions (polish: ZUS) and costs of getting incomes.
tax base = gross earnings - social insurance - cost of getting income
There is a tax-free amount in the Poland, from which we will not pay any tax. In this case, the final tax would be slightly lower than it would appear from the tax thresholds alone.
Before 2017 year the tax-free amount was fixed (in 2009-2016 it amounted to 3091.00 PLN) and was entitled to all taxpayers using general rules.
Starting from 2017, the tax-free amount depends on income, in such a way that the taxpayers with very small income are fully covered, then the tax-free amount is gradually reduced as revenue increases.
In practice, the so-called tax reduction amount is more common, when calculating income tax (PIT). This is the effective amount that should be deducted from the tax already calculated, to apply the allowance associated with the tax-free amount.
To calculate the tax for 2018 year (and also 2017), use the below formula:
- in the case of income below 85 528 PLN:
  tax = 17% × tax base - tax reduction amount
- in the case of an income of 85 528 PLN or more :
  tax = 15181.22 PLN + 32% × (tax base - 85528 zł) - tax reduction amount
To calculate the tax reduction amount for income earned in 2018 year, use the following formula:
- in case of income in the amount of 6600 PLN or less:
  tax reduction amount = 1420 PLN,
- in case of income from 8001 PLN to 13000 PLN:
  tax reduction amount = 1420 PLN - 871.70 PLN × (tax base - 8000 zł) / 5000 zł,
- in case of income from 13001 PLN to 85528 PLN:
  tax reduction amount = 548.30 PLN,
- in case of income from 85529 PLN to 127000 PLN:
  tax reduction amount = 548.30 PLN - 548.30 PLN × (tax base - 85528 zł) / 41472 zł,
- in case of income above 127000 PLN there is no tax-free amount, so tax reduction amount is 0.

The legal basis defining how to calculate the amount that reduces tax for the purposes of annual settlement is Art. 27 sec. 1a of the Act of July 26, 1991 on personal income tax (Journal of Laws 1991 No. 80, item 350, consolidated text).

In addition, tax should be decreased by health insurance (polish: NFZ), but not more than 7,75% of the basis.

⚠ WARNING! Health insurance contributions (polish: NFZ) are deducted from already calculated tax, instead of tax base like in case of other expenses.

Starting from August 2019, people under 26 y.o. in Poland do not need to pay income tax (PIT).
In 2019, the tax-relief covers annual revenues up to 35636.67 PLN, and from 2020, this limit will be increased to 85528 PLN. Revenues exceeding the annual limit remain taxed using tax-scale.
The legal basis for the new regulations can be found at the official government website.
