Ireland Income Tax Calculator
Worked example (the default inputs above): €60,000 gross, single employee → income tax €15,200 minus €4,000 credits = €11,200; USC €1,346; PRSI €2,460 → annual net €44,994 → €3,750 a month.
Key fact: Ireland does not have one payroll tax — it has three: income tax (20%/40%), USC (0.5–8%) and PRSI (4.1%) — and newcomers who budget for only one get a nasty surprise.

The formula
Income tax = 20% on the first €44,000 + 40% above €44,000 − €4,000 credits (personal €2,000 + employee €2,000), floored at zero. USC (only if income is €13,000 or more): 0.5% to €12,012, 2% to €27,382, 3% to €70,044, 8% above. PRSI = 4.1% of gross (for earnings above €352 a week). Net = gross − income tax − USC − PRSI. Example at €60,000: tax €11,200 + USC €1,346 + PRSI €2,460 = €15,006 deductions → net €44,994 a year, €3,750 a month.

Worked example with real numbers
An engineer moving to Dublin is offered €60,000. Income tax is 20% on the first €44,000 (€8,800) plus 40% on the remaining €16,000 (€6,400), giving €15,200, minus €4,000 of tax credits = €11,200. USC adds €60 on the first €12,012, €307 on the slice to €27,382 and €979 on the slice to €70,044 — €1,346 in total. PRSI at 4.1% adds €2,460. Total deductions are €15,006, so net pay is €44,994 a year, or €3,750 a month — an effective deduction of 25.0%. At €40,000 the same maths gives about €2,801 a month, and at €100,000 about €5,388 a month, because more income falls in the 40% band and the 8% USC band.

Rates used: standard-rate band €44,000 for a single person (20% below, 40% above), personal tax credit €2,000 plus employee tax credit €2,000, USC bands 0.5% / 2% / 3% / 8% with exemption below €13,000 total income, and employee PRSI at 4.1% (Class A; PRSI rose to 4.2% from October 2025, a difference of about €60 a year on €60,000 — this tool uses 4.1% and notes the change). These figures match the Revenue Budget 2025/2026 summaries as reported by Irish payroll guides in 2026, with 2026 bands unchanged from 2025. IMPORTANT LIMITS: single-person PAYE only — married, single-parent, pension-contribution, benefit-in-kind and additional-credit cases differ, and PRSI's tapered credit for weekly earnings between €352 and €424 is not modelled. Verify with Revenue.ie or a payroll adviser before relying on the figure.
