Frequently asked questions
- How much of my salary do I take home in Ireland?
- On a €45,000 salary a single PAYE employee keeps about €37,000 a year (≈€3,090 a month) after income tax, USC and PRSI — an effective deduction rate near 18%. Use the calculator above for your exact figure.
- What is deducted from my pay?
- Three statutory deductions: income tax (PAYE) at 20% up to the standard-rate cut-off and 40% above, reduced by your tax credits; USC on a banded scale; and PRSI at 4.2%. Public-service staff also pay a pension contribution and the Additional Superannuation Contribution (ASC).
- Does this include the public-service pension?
- Only if you tick the option — public-service pension and ASC rates depend on your scheme, so that figure is approximate. The core estimate covers income tax, USC and PRSI.
