Why compare take-home pay?
A higher gross salary does not always mean proportionally more take-home pay. Ireland's progressive tax system means that salary increases above the standard rate band (€42,000 for single earners) are taxed at 40% plus USC and PRSI. This calculator shows the actual difference in what you pocket.
What about non-salary benefits?
Consider other factors: employer pension contributions, health insurance (BIK may apply), flexible working, professional development, annual leave entitlements, and commute costs. This calculator focuses on the financial comparison.
Revenue-Aligned: Uses official Revenue Commissioners rates for the 2025 tax year. For complex situations, consult a registered tax advisor.
