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 8.0%.
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.
