How is Irish income tax calculated?
Ireland uses a two-rate income tax system. You pay 20% (standard rate) on income up to the standard rate cut-off point, and 40% (higher rate) on income above that. The cut-off point depends on your personal circumstances -- €42,000 for single people and €51,000 for married couples (one earner) in 2025.
What is the Universal Social Charge (USC)?
USC is charged on your gross income before pension contributions. The rates are progressive: 0.5% up to €12,012, 2% from €12,013 to €25,760, 4% from €25,761 to €70,044, and 8% above €70,044. If your total income is €13,000 or less, you are exempt from USC.
How does PRSI work?
PRSI (Pay-Related Social Insurance) is a social insurance contribution that funds the State Pension and social welfare benefits. Most employees pay Class A PRSI at 4% of gross earnings. There is a weekly earnings threshold of €352, below which no PRSI is payable, and a tapered PRSI credit for lower earners.
What tax credits do I get?
All employees receive a Personal Tax Credit (€1,875 for a single person, €3,750 for a married couple) and a PAYE Tax Credit (€1,875). These credits reduce your tax bill euro for euro. Additional credits may be available for single parents, home carers, and other circumstances.
