How it's worked out
- Income tax: 20% on the first €44,000 and 40% on the remaining €26,000, less €4,000 of tax credits (the €2,000 personal credit and the €2,000 employee credit).
- USC (Universal Social Charge): 0.5% on the first €12,012, 2% up to €28,700, 3% up to €70,044 and 8% above (2026).
- PRSI is 4.35% of all earnings (Class A), with a small credit when weekly pay is between €352 and €424.
- Figures are for a single PAYE employee with no pension contributions. Married couples get a bigger rate band and personal credit: choose that option in the calculator.
