Average Salary in Ireland

The average salary in Ireland is €52,198, according to the Central Statistics Office (Q3 2025). This equates to a salary after tax of €3,401 a month, or €785 a week.

However, estimating averages using the mean of all salaries can be misleading since a small portion of people with very high incomes can skew the results. The most recent median (50th percentile) salary in Ireland is €38,006, which corresponds to a monthly take-home pay of €2,677 according to our salary calculator.

Of course, depending on where you live, average salaries will look different. For instance, in Dublin, where living costs are high and specialists are in demand, you can expect salaries to be higher than they would be in smaller and more affordable areas.

Minimum Wage in Ireland

The national minimum wage for 2026 in Ireland is €14.15 an hour for employees aged 20 and up, €12.74 for age 19, €11.32 for age 18, €9.91 for ages under 18. Running the numbers for age 20+ through our Ireland tax calculator, the monthly pay for a 40-hour work week is €2,453 before tax and €2,157 after tax.

Calculated based on the standard 40-hour working week.
Age Group
Aged 20+ €14.15 €2,157
Aged 19 €12.74 €1,977
Aged 18 €11.32 €1,796
Under 18 €9.91 €1,635

Taxes Included in This Take-Home Pay Calculator

  • Income Tax: Ireland salaries are taxed at two rates — the "standard rate" of 20%, applied to the first section of your income, and the "higher rate" of 40%, applied to your remaining income. Your personal circumstances determine where the threshold between these rates is.
  • Universal Social Charge (USC): If you earn more than €13,000 per year, then you need to make a contribution to the USC to fund public services. Your income level determines how big that contribution is, ranging from 0.5% to 8%.
  • Pay Related Social Insurance (PRSI): If you earn more than €352 a week, then you must make PRSI contributions to help fund Ireland's social welfare programs. The amount you pay depends on your income and line of work.
