What this calculator measures
The figure is what reaches your account after income tax under PAYE, less your personal and employee tax credits, the Universal Social Charge and class A PRSI, on the annual gross you enter. Irish salaries are quoted annually with nothing added on top. PRSI changes rate part-way through the year, so the calculator blends the two published rates by the share of the year each covers. It assumes a single person with no other income and no reliefs beyond the standard credits.
What you receive now, and what accrues
PRSI funds the State pension and other social welfare benefits, but it does not build a personal pension pot, so it appears as a deduction. What accrues is pension saved in your name: an occupational pension you enter, and — if you are enrolled in My Future Fund — your contribution, your employer's and the State top-up. They appear as pension accruing beside the figure, never inside it.
What this result assumes
- Single, no qualifying child
- Resident in Ireland for the whole year
- PRSI class A, the ordinary employee class
- No SARP relief applied
- Employer certification assumed filed in time
What this model does not cover (8)
- The blended annual PRSI rate. Revenue and the DSP publish the two rates and their effective dates; nobody publishes an annual figure for a year in which the rate steps, so the blend is our arithmetic and no case checks it.
- Whole-payslip net. Revenue publishes no public net-pay calculator (myAccount is behind MyGovID), so every official case is component-level: USC alone, or income tax alone.
- Employer PRSI (9,00 / 11,25 pct., stepping to 9,15 / 11,40 pct. in October). It never touches net pay and is not modelled.
- The PRSI credit for weekly earnings between 352,01 and 424 EUR, and the A0 nil band below 352 EUR a week. Coverage starts at 424 x 52 = 22.048 EUR, above both.
- USC reduced rates for those aged 70 or over and for full medical-card holders with aggregate income under 60.000 EUR.
- Age-related caps on pension relief (15-40 pct. of earnings by age, 115.000 EUR ceiling): the engine has no date of birth and assumes the contribution is within them.
- Auto-enrolment eligibility by age (23 to 60) and by existing scheme membership, which is why it is a flag rather than automatic.
- SARP's employer certification deadline (Form SARP 1A within 90 days of arrival, or 180 days for a shortened four-year claim) is not modelled: the engine has no arrival date. Eligibility is asked as two questions and the rest is assumed.

How this is worked out
Why does PRSI look different from the rate I was quoted?
Because the rate changes on 1 October. An annual figure needs one number for the whole year, so the calculator weights the rate before October and the rate after it by the months each covers. Your payslips will show one rate before October and the other after.
Is USC the same as income tax?
No. The Universal Social Charge is a separate charge on gross income with its own bands, and your tax credits do not reduce it. It appears as its own line in the breakdown.
Do auto-enrolment contributions get tax relief?
No. My Future Fund contributions reduce your net pay without reducing your taxable income; the State top-up takes the place of tax relief. That is different from an ordinary occupational pension contribution, which does reduce the income tax base.
Is the monthly figure a payslip prediction?
It is one twelfth of the annual net amount. Actual monthly payroll can vary with holiday allowance, bonuses and withholding rounding.
Does the city change the tax?
It depends on the country. Where a region, canton or municipality sets part of the income tax, the place you choose changes the result, and the picker offers those places for that reason. Where income tax is set nationally, the city makes no difference to the payroll figure.
Can I use this for self-employment or part-year residence?
Those cases are not modelled. The answer assumes an employee resident for the whole year, and each country's page lists the rest of what it assumes.
