Warsaw

64composite score · #14 of 50

MEDIUM · sourced, not yet live-verified

LOW-to-MEDIUM provenance, and the earlier 'pending live-verification, will return to HIGH once fetched' framing is withdrawn: the URLs have now been fetched and two of them do not support what this row publishes. min_wage_url gives PLN 4,806/month and no hourly rate at all; median_wage_url is a commercial net-pay calculator whose Warsaw figure is an average, not a median. The earnings figure's own source, the Fairwork published-reports index, publishes fairness scores and never pay rates. What remains is the MB Partner delivery analysis (936 couriers, 131,165 Glovo deliveries, national average 40.10 PLN/hr; Wolt 57,000+ deliveries, Mazowieckie/Warsaw average 48.23 PLN/hr), which is industry analysis rather than a primary source and carries no URL here either.

Only HIGH-confidence cities carry a full verification audit. See the methodology for what each tier means.

Take-home is gross hourly minus an estimated tax/expense rate per country. See the methodology page for the derivation. This widget assumes you actually work the hours you set. For app-based delivery, a portion of logged-in time is unpaid waiting; the headline rate reflects engaged time only where regulators have defined it.
