How this is calculated

Your take-home pay is your gross salary minus three deductions: Income Tax (PAYE), the Universal Social Charge (USC) and PRSI. Income tax is 20% up to your standard rate cut-off point and 40% above it, then reduced by tax credits (the Personal and PAYE credits are worth €2,000 each in 2026). USC runs on a sliding scale from 0.5% to 8%, and PRSI is a flat 4.2%, rising to 4.35% from October 2026. The calculator applies the 2026 bands, credits and cut-off points to show your net pay by year, month and week.
