2025 FEB. Low rent in a building less than 15 years old is 2200 (rent + building fee) for 25 square meters. This is a studio. Not shared, under 1.6KM from Galeria Dominikanska (one edge of the "city center").

Wroclaw has become extremely expensive for the last 2 years and totally lost it's attractiveness in terms of financially balanced place to leave.

Hi. A company has offered me 17K PLN as a monthly salary inclusive taxes. Please suggest, what should be the ideal salary for a senior software engineer role in Poland. So I could live happily with my family of 3 people (me, my spouse and a kid).

What is monthly cost of living for family (2 members plus one child )in wroclaw

A single person estimated monthly costs are 2,406.21zł without rent - that really depends on how often you go out or shop for clothes etc. Personally I eat out quite often and I buy whatever I need/want throughout the month and I rarely spend over 1500 zlotych monthly. I think 2400 zł without rent is more than enough unless you eat out everyday or go to super fancy restaurants.
