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.
Gross vs. net pay in Ireland
The total figure on your contract — before any tax or social deductions. In Ireland this is typically quoted in EUR per year, though monthly quotes are common for white-collar roles.
What lands in your bank account after income tax and PRSI + USC. Most workers in Ireland keep 75% of a €65,000 gross.
Visible on your payslip: income tax (progressive brackets) and PRSI + USC at 8.6%. These are what this calculator models.
