Frequently Asked Questions
How much of a pay rise do you keep in Ireland?
A rise is taxed at your marginal rate, so you keep less of it than your average take-home implies. A higher-rate taxpayer keeps roughly 48%–52% of each extra euro after 40% PAYE, USC and PRSI; a standard-rate taxpayer keeps around 72%–74%.
Will a pay rise push me into a higher tax bracket?
Only the portion of income above the standard rate cut-off (€44,000 for a single person in 2026) is taxed at 40% — never your whole salary. A rise always increases your take-home pay.
How can I keep more of my pay rise?
Salary-sacrificing part of the increase into a pension gets income tax relief at your marginal rate, so more of the rise stays working for you instead of going to PAYE.
