How tax works in Ireland
Europe · EUR
Ireland has just two income-tax bands (20% and 40%), but layered on top are PRSI (4.1%) and the Universal Social Charge (USC), which adds 0.5–8% depending on income. Tax credits — rather than a personal allowance — drive the effective rate. Married couples can transfer credits and bands.
On a gross of €25,000 per year, expect roughly €21,450 net — about 86% of gross lands in your bank account.
