How Irish Income Tax Works in 2026
Irish PAYE workers pay three separate deductions on their salary: Income Tax (PAYE), the Universal Social Charge (USC), and PRSI (Pay Related Social Insurance).
20% on income up to €44,000. 40% above that. Reduced by your tax credits (€4,000 for a single person in 2026).
0.5% to 8% in bands. Exempt if income is €13,000 or under. No credits apply, charged on gross income.
4.2375% blended rate for 2026 (4.20% Jan–Sep, 4.35% Oct–Dec). Funds State Pension and social welfare.
Filing status has a large impact on take-home pay. A married couple with one income gets a wider standard rate band (€53,000 vs €44,000) and higher tax credits. Each salary guide below shows the breakdown for single, married one-income, and single parent scenarios.
