Estimate only, not tax advice. 2026 and 2025 figures use Revenue and Citizens Information rules (income tax bands and credits unchanged between the years; the USC 2% ceiling rose from €27,382 to €28,700). Employee take-home assumes a single person with no pension. PRSI uses the flat calendar rate each year shows on a January payslip: 4.2% for 2026 (rising to 4.35% from 1 October 2026) and 4.1% for 2025. Class A full rate assumed (the pre-1995 public-service reduced rate is not modelled). Self-employed income pays Class S at the same rate with the €650 minimum. At 66 or over, PRSI does not apply.
