No. This is an independent tool for educational and planning purposes. It is based on publicly available Irish tax bands and credits, but may not cover every individual circumstance (medical cards, age-related reliefs, benefit-in-kind, or special credits).
The current version is aimed at PAYE employees on standard rates — single, married (one or two incomes) and single parents. It does not yet fully support self-employed income or complex situations such as multiple jobs.
You should not rely on this tool as professional tax advice. Always confirm your actual liabilities with Revenue, your payslips, or a qualified tax advisor before making financial decisions.
For a single PAYE employee with standard credits, a €50,000 salary gives about €39,592 a year after tax, which is €3,299 a month or €761 a week, using 2026 rates with PRSI at 4.35%. Income tax is €7,200, USC €1,033 and PRSI €2,175.
Income tax is 20% up to the standard rate cut-off (€44,000 for a single person) and 40% above it, less €4,000 of credits (Personal €2,000 and Employee €2,000). USC is 0.5% up to €12,012, 2% up to €28,700, 3% up to €70,044 and 8% above, with no USC at €13,000 or less. Employee PRSI is 4.35% on all earnings from 1 October 2026 (it was 4.2% before that date). The 2027 option uses the Budget 2027 figures: €46,500 cut-off, €4,250 of credits, USC 2% band to €30,300 and PRSI averaged at about 4.39% (4.35% to 30 September, 4.5% from 1 October 2027). See the Budget 2027 guide.
Yes. It shows your net take-home pay per year, per month and per week, along with income tax, USC, PRSI, total deductions and your effective tax rate.
The calculator assumes a standard PAYE employee with no pension contributions, benefit-in-kind or extra credits, and applies the tax year's rates evenly. Pension contributions, BIK, bonuses, rent or medical credits, unpaid leave and payroll timing can all change your actual payslip.
This tool is designed for PAYE employees in Ireland in 2026. It uses the standard Income Tax rate band of €44,000 @ 20% for single people and adjusted bands for married couples, with 40% on the balance. It subtracts the standard Personal and PAYE tax credits and, for single parents, the Single Person Child Carer Credit.
USC is calculated using official thresholds and rates for each year, with an exemption for incomes at or below €13,000 per year. PRSI is estimated using the employee Class A rate for each year — 4.35% for 2026 (the rate from 1 October 2026; it was 4.2% before that date) and 4.1% for 2025.
