How does the company car tax calculator work?
Our Polish company car tax calculator helps you estimate the taxable benefit and associated tax obligations when using a company vehicle for personal purposes. Enter your car's initial value, annual mileage, and personal usage percentage to get accurate tax calculations.
The calculator computes the monthly taxable benefit based on Polish tax regulations, which vary depending on the car's initial value and your personal usage patterns. It then calculates the additional income tax and ZUS contributions you'll need to pay.
All calculations are based on current Polish tax law and include both the standard percentage method and the actual cost method where applicable. The results help you understand the true cost of using a company car for personal purposes.
Company car taxation rules in Poland
In Poland, using a company car for personal purposes creates a taxable fringe benefit that must be included in your taxable income. The tax authorities require both employers and employees to properly account for this benefit.
The taxable benefit calculation depends on several factors including the car's initial purchase price, how much you use it for personal purposes, and whether you maintain proper mileage records.
Key taxation rules:
- Monthly benefit = (Car value × 2%) × Personal usage percentage
- Alternative calculation for high-mileage personal use
- Additional income tax on the calculated benefit
- ZUS contributions may apply depending on employment type
- Proper documentation required for personal vs. business use
