Great video thank you for all the informations , just an FYI from a comment 6 months later , the prices have changed a lot and inflation has kicked in brutally , so add at least 20% - 25% to the prices mentioned in this video if you are moving here

[@wellcomehome]

You're right, the prices went up very much recently. The official inflation is 15,6% but as we all know some products went up even more. Let's keep our fingers crossed that it will slow down soon!

Awesome video! Such videos about different cities would be useful. For example, Warsaw seems to be much more expensive?

We're based in Katowice so we prefer to stick to this city, but Warsaw... it depends on what. Real estate and rental pries can be double. Same for services, while grocery shopping or going out may be very similar.

[@Johan-sk3vn]

Katowice is a affordable city, many things to do, I agree with 800zl per month for groceries, rent depend on the standard of the flat, you have cheaper and more expensive .. I pay 2700 a month for a 1 bathroom flat incl all costs, as a foreigner Katowice is very affordable I gues. Nice video 🙂

Hello Sohel! Thank you for your comment. As for the average rental and living costs, Poznań is similar to Katowice. Definitely not the most expensive, but always in top 10. Regards!

[@van3084]

Awesome video! it's been 1 year since you uploaded, are there any significant price differences? or has the economy stayed fairly the same?

[@wellcomehome]

Hello Van! Yes, the prices have increased a bit (inflation rate in Poland is historically high). Here you can check updated prices here: wellcome-home.com/guide/going-out-prices-in-poland-and-some-fun-facts-about-polish-leisure-habits/

[@pashakaliberda6236]

Highly appreciate your efforts in regards of creating this video. It was so much useful. Though, I’ve got a question: what’s the most common way of finding an accommodation in Poland if we aren’t talking about real estate agencies which charge you money? By the way, what’s an average fee those agencies charge you for their services? Thanks.

[@wellcomehome]

Hello Pasha and thank you! As for the apartments: the best way is to search in on the internet on the most common rental platforms. We talk about them in our video: How to search for a flat in Poland. Make sure to check :) The "standard" fee is very different, but it may be around 1-month rent value. But, as always, everything depends :)

[@curioustripsy]

I binged watched all your videos. It's extremely helpful for someone who are moving to Poland. How do we contact for your help in finding an apartment in Poland?

[@wellcomehome]

Thank you, Agnaldo! The costs may vary in every city, so we're not able to give you exact numbers. Please also have in mind we face over 15% inflation currently so these prices may be already a little higher than provided in the video. Anyway, Trzebnica is not our top turistic place, so expect prices lower than in Kraków or Warszawa. And of course have a great time in Poland!

[@dipalisoniofficial]

Thankyou for the information...i want to know that if someones salary is 13000 pln per month.after deduction of tax , take home salary is 9600 plan per month...how much we can save if we mostly eat home cooked food...and lunch in office....per month saving would be?

[@wellcomehome]

Hello Dipali! In the video we provide an average calculation of total costs - so theoretically, including the inflation, you should be able to save half of your salary. But it's just an average calculation for one person. It's very individual and depends on many factors: number of people in the household, type and cost of flat, type of food you eat, means of transport you use. You'd have to calculate this for your household yourself concerning provided costs. Cheers!

[@chucky8787]

I can see the price of real estate by looking at real estate websites however I do not know how much property taxes would be. Are property taxes very expensive in Poland? Do you you know the cost per 100,000 zlty of appraised value in your municipality?

[@wellcomehome]

Hi! The property taxes in Poland depend on the size, not value. They are paid annually to the city, and rates are different to residential premises and commercial ones (the second ones to be more expensive). As for Katowice, taxes in 2023 are: -around 1 PLN / sqm for residential premises -around 29 PLN / sqm for commercial premises We hope this helps! 🤗

[@chucky8787]

@@wellcomehome thanks

[@vDungeon]

March 2024. Multiply the numbers by 2.5. All the numbers. Also add some if you have a TV because in Poland you have to pay a tax by just having it, even if connected to internet only.

[@wellcomehome]

Yes, the truth is that prices are overdue quite fast, but not 2.5 in our opinion :) But here's our updated blog post we did at the end of 2023: wellcome-home.com/guide/monthly-costs-of-living-in-poland/ Hope it helps and is more up to date! Cheers!

[@vDungeon]

@@wellcomehome if we are talking about the cheapest options everywhere - then yes - just 1.5x. Last 1.5 years the cost of food just doubled. Orange flex - i pay 90zl Electricity - i was paying 120 and now it is about 300zl in the same apartment and same consumption Since the beginning of 2022 the costs of rent doubled. The costs of property is increased by 30% last 1.5 years.

Hi, Can you please assist if 10,000 net zloty is sufficient salary for a married couple in Warsaw?

It's very individual - it depends on where you live, how much you pay for rent, if you eat out often. But many Polish households are able to live by with such income, so it's manageable :)

Hello Nitish! Of course outside the city center prices will be slightly lower but this depends also on the property standard. Many new investments have been built in the suburban area and still they provide really nice standard at higher price.
