Worked example

Take a single employee on a 50,000 euro salary in 2025 with no pension contribution. Income tax is 20% on the first 44,000 and 40% on the next 6,000, giving 11,200 euro of gross tax, less 4,000 euro of personal and PAYE credits, so 7,200 euro of income tax. USC adds 1,046 euro: 0.5% on the first 12,012, 2% to 27,382, and 3% on the balance to 50,000. PRSI is charged at 4.1% of the full salary, or 2,050 euro. Deducting all three leaves 39,704 euro of net pay, which is about 3,309 euro a month or 764 euro a week.

How it is calculated

Net pay in Ireland is gross pay minus three separate charges. Income tax runs at 20% up to your standard rate cut-off point and 40% above, then your tax credits are subtracted from that figure. USC is a second charge on gross income, rising through 0.5%, 2%, 3%, and 8% bands, with full exemption if total income is 13,000 euro or below. PRSI for a Class A employee is a flat 4.1%, with no charge while weekly pay stays at or under 352 euro. Pension contributions are deducted before income tax and USC are worked out, so they lower both of those bases. The result is your take-home, which this tool also breaks down into monthly and weekly figures.

Frequently asked questions

What is deducted from my Irish pay?
Three things come off gross pay: income tax (20% up to your cut-off, 40% above, less tax credits), USC on a sliding scale, and PRSI at 4.1%. Pension contributions reduce the income tax and USC base. This calculator applies the single personal and PAYE credits by default; your actual credits may differ.
What are the USC rates for 2025 and 2026?
USC is charged at 0.5% on the first 12,012 euro, 2% from 12,013 to 27,382 euro, 3% from 27,383 to 70,044 euro, and 8% on any amount above 70,044 euro. Incomes of 13,000 euro or less are fully exempt from USC. Revenue reviews these thresholds each year in the Finance Act.
How do tax credits reduce my income tax bill?
Tax credits are subtracted directly from your calculated tax liability, not from your income. Every employee is entitled to the personal tax credit of 2,000 euro and the PAYE employee credit of 2,000 euro, saving up to 4,000 euro in income tax per year. Additional credits exist for lone parents, the home carer, and other circumstances; you claim these through Revenue myAccount.
Does PRSI apply to all earnings?
Class A PRSI, which covers most private-sector employees, is charged at 4.1% on gross earnings. There is a weekly exemption threshold: no PRSI is due in any week where pay is 352 euro or less. For a full-year view, this calculator applies the annual equivalent of that threshold. PRSI does not benefit from the pension contribution relief that reduces income tax and USC.
