Understanding the Calculator

The values in this calculator can be adjusted to get the most accurate picture of your earnings.

Gross Annual Salary (€)

This is your total yearly salary before any deductions are made. Don't include your bonus here – there's a separate field for that. Just enter the main salary figure your employer pays you.

Bonus / Commission (€)

If you receive any one-off payments on top of your regular salary, like an annual bonus or sales commission, enter the total amount here. This is added to your salary for tax, USC, and PRSI calculations.

Pension Contributions

This is how much you're putting into your pension, as a percentage (%) of your salary or a fixed amount (€). Your contributions are deducted from your gross income before tax is calculated, providing you with tax relief at your highest rate.

Understanding Your Deductions

The Irish tax system has three main components that are deducted from your salary:

  • Income Tax: Calculated using tax bands. Your final tax bill is then reduced by your personal tax credits. For a standard single employee, this is typically €3,750 (€1,875 Single Person Credit + €1,875 Employee PAYE Credit). Our calculator handles this for you.
  • Universal Social Charge (USC): A tax on your total income that is separate from income tax. It's charged in bands at different rates.
  • Pay Related Social Insurance (PRSI): Contributions that fund social welfare benefits in Ireland. Most employees are in Class A, which we use for this calculation.
