How this is calculated
If you work remotely, Ireland's Remote Working Relief lets you claim tax back on a share of your household electricity, heating and broadband for the days you worked from home. You can claim 30% of those bills, apportioned by the number of remote-working days in the year, with relief given at your top rate of income tax (20% or 40%). You'll need your bills and a record of days worked at home. The calculator apportions your utility costs to your WFH days, applies the 30% allowance and shows the tax back at your marginal rate.
Questions people ask
How much can I claim for working from home?
30% of electricity, heating and broadband, apportioned to the days you worked from home, relieved at your top tax rate.
Can I claim relief and the €3.20 a day?
Not for the same cost. If your employer pays the tax-free €3.20 daily allowance you can't also claim relief on those bills.
What records do I need?
Your utility bills for the year and a record of the days you worked at home. Revenue can ask to see both.
Do hybrid workers qualify?
Yes — you only claim for the days you actually worked from home, which is exactly what the calculator apportions.
