Irish tax calculator FAQs
How do you calculate Irish take-home pay?
We apply Irish PAYE, USC and PRSI for the tax year you pick (2022–2026). Income tax uses that year's standard-rate band and personal plus PAYE credits. USC and PRSI use that year's bands and rates. Pension contributions reduce income tax, not USC or PRSI.
Can I choose different tax years?
Yes. The calculator covers 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. Take-home uses that year's rates. A PAYE refund estimate is for the year you select only.
What does the PAYE refund estimate include?
It only adds extras payroll often misses, such as Revenue flat-rate expenses for listed occupations, the rent tax credit, medical expenses at 20%, working-from-home relief, and emergency tax. Flat-rate amounts are the official Revenue deductions, not cash refunds. It is one year and an estimate. Revenue confirms the amount.
Is this the same as my payslip?
It is an estimate for a PAYE employee. It does not include every item on a Tax Credit Certificate, such as benefit-in-kind or a second job.
What happens if I start a claim?
Your calculator answers are carried into the application. We still review the last four completed tax years. No refund, no fee.
