All Ireland calculators
Take-home pay after income tax, USC and PRSI, and stamp duty on residential property — using current Revenue rates.
About these calculators
Irish pay has three separate deductions that confuse almost everyone: income tax (PAYE) at 20% and 40%, the Universal Social Charge (USC) charged in its own bands, and PRSI at a flat rate — with tax credits subtracted at the end. The take-home pay calculator applies all three in the right order, with the standard-rate band for your marital status, so you can see what a salary or hourly rate is actually worth per month and per week. The stamp duty calculator applies the residential bands (1% up to €1m, 2% to €1.5m, 6% above) and handles the VAT-exclusive price rule for new builds. Every calculation runs in your browser, and each page states its assumptions and the tax year it uses.
Ireland calculators — common questions
What is USC? The Universal Social Charge is a separate tax on gross income, charged in bands from 0.5% to 8%, on top of income tax. If you earn €13,000 or less you are exempt entirely.
What are tax credits? Amounts subtracted from your income tax bill rather than from your income. Almost every employee gets the personal credit and the employee (PAYE) credit — €2,000 each — which is why the first roughly €20,000 of a single person's salary is effectively income-tax-free.
How much is stamp duty on a house in Ireland? 1% of the price up to €1 million, 2% on the portion between €1m and €1.5m, and 6% above that. On a €400,000 home that is €4,000.
Which tax year do the calculators use? The current Revenue rates, stated on each calculator page. Budget changes normally take effect on 1 January; the pages are updated when the new figures are confirmed.
