What tax rates does this calculator use?

The calculator uses 2024 Revenue Ireland rates: PAYE at 20% up to the standard rate cut-off (€42,000 for single, €84,000 for married assessed jointly), then 40% above. USC bands are 0.5% on the first €12,012, 2% on €12,013–€25,760, 4% on €25,761–€70,044, and 8% above €70,044. PRSI Class A1 is 4% on weekly earnings above €352 (annualized to €18,304).

What tax credits are applied?

The standard Personal Tax Credit (€1,875 for single, €3,750 for married) and the Employee Tax Credit (€1,875) are applied to reduce your PAYE liability. Other credits — home carer, single parent, medical expenses — are not included, so your actual tax may be lower.

What is USC and who pays it?

The Universal Social Charge (USC) is a tax on gross income before pension contributions. It applies to all earners with annual income over €13,000. Rates range from 0.5% to 8% depending on your income band. Medical card holders and those over 70 with income under €60,000 pay reduced USC rates, which are not modeled here.

What is PRSI and how is it calculated?

Pay Related Social Insurance (PRSI) Class A1 is 4% of gross weekly earnings above €352 (approximately €18,304 per year). It funds the Social Insurance Fund, covering benefits like jobseeker's benefit and state pension. Employer PRSI is a separate 11.05% charge and is not shown here.

Does this cover the married one-earner vs. two-earner difference?

This calculator applies the married standard rate cut-off of €84,000 combined, which is the maximum for a married couple assessed jointly. The actual allocation between spouses may differ — Revenue allows a maximum of €51,000 on one income and €33,000 on the second. For precise planning, consult Revenue's myAccount service.

How accurate is this estimate?

The estimate covers the core PAYE, USC, and PRSI deductions for most PAYE employees. It does not include pension contributions, health insurance BIK, share schemes, non-standard tax credits, or self-employed surcharges. Use it as a planning guide — consult a tax advisor or Revenue.ie for a precise figure.
