Questions
Is this before or after tax?
After income tax, USC and PRSI. The "Gross pay" row of the table is the pay before tax.
What if I work different hours?
Change the hours box above and every figure updates. Overtime, bonuses, holiday pay and unpaid weeks are not included, so your payslip may differ.
Does this include the 2027 changes?
No. These are 2026 figures. Budget 2027 changes, such as a wider 20% tax band and higher tax credits, start on 1 January 2027 and still need to pass into law. To see 2027 for the same pay, use the take-home pay calculator.
Figures use the 2026 rates from official pages (Revenue: tax rates, bands and credits, Revenue: USC rates, Citizens Information: PRSI rates), last checked 25 October 2026. Employee PRSI is 4.2% until 30 September and 4.35% from 1 October, so the yearly figure uses a blend. Budget 2027 changes start on 1 January 2027 and are not included. A general estimate, not tax advice. Your payslip has the final say.
