How we calculate this

This calculator applies the 2026 income tax rates and credits, the Universal Social Charge and employee PRSI (Class A). PRSI is 4.2% until 30 September 2026 and 4.35% from 1 October 2026, shown as a blended annual figure. USC is not charged at all if total income is €13,000 or less, but applies to all income once that limit is passed, so take-home pay drops slightly at that point. Pension contributions reduce income tax only. It does not include married or civil partnership bands, reduced USC rates, other credits or reliefs, or benefit in kind. It is an estimate. For an exact figure, check your Revenue tax credit certificate or consult a tax adviser.
