How much you need to earn in Poland to belong to the middle class: exact figures.

Scientists have found that belonging to the middle class in Poland is related to the level of stable income. Using a special indicator EHDI (equivalent household income), they determined what salary is necessary to enter this class — neither poor nor rich. According to the Polish Economic Institute, the middle class includes people whose incomes range from 67% to 200% of the median salary per person, but it may be possible to narrow the range to 75-200%.As a result of this research, it became known that about 54% of the population of Poland truly belongs to the middle class, but 77% of surveyed Poles consider themselves to be such. Also, scientists from Europe have established that to determine rich people in Poland, one must have an income of 250% above the median salary. For example, for a single person, this amount is 12,500 zlotys, while for a family with four children, it is already 33,700 zlotys. The lowest threshold of wealth may differ in various regions of the country, for instance, in Warsaw, the richest are considered those who earn over 9,000 zlotys.From the latest data, it follows that determining your financial status in Poland is very simple — just keep these figures in mind and compare them with your own income. Also, Ukrainians traveling to the neighboring country should be cautious at customs, as falling into the middle or wealthy class may have its consequences when bringing goods.
