How Ireland taxes a salary

  1. Income Tax (PAYE) Ireland grants no personal allowance. Relief comes through non-refundable credits applied after the rate calculation.
  2. Personal Tax Credit Non-refundable. Offsets income tax only, never USC or PRSI.
  3. Employee (PAYE) Tax Credit Non-refundable. Together with the personal credit this makes roughly the first 20,000 EUR free of income tax, though USC and PRSI still apply.
  4. Universal Social Charge (USC) Cliff edge at 13,000 EUR of total income: at or below, no USC at all; above, USC applies from the first euro. Cannot be reduced by tax credits.
  5. PRSI (Class A1) Employee rate is 4.2% to 30 September 2026 and 4.35% from 1 October 2026. This file uses 4.2%, the rate in force for three quarters of the year and the basis of published worked examples. A blended annual figure of 4.2375% is arguably more accurate for a full calendar year and is a known limitation. Employees earning 352 EUR or less per week are exempt; that exemption is not modelled.
