How Irish take-home pay is worked out
Income tax is charged at 20% up to your standard rate band and 40% above it. Your tax credits are then taken off the tax bill — every employee gets the €2,000.00 employee (PAYE) credit on top of their personal credit.
The Universal Social Charge applies to gross pay, but nobody earning €13,000.00 or less pays it. PRSI (Class A) is 4.20% of all earnings once weekly pay is over €352.00. Pension contributions reduce income tax only.
