Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1 425 to pay you € 12 900. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 5.41 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
48.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 43% tax rate now rises to 48.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 154 800 a year living in Ireland, you will be taxed € 66 572. That means that your net pay will be € 88 228 per year, or € 7 352 per month. Your average tax rate is 43.0% and your marginal tax rate is 52.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of € 100 in your salary will be taxed € 52, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 48.
Bonus Example
A € 1 000 bonus will generate an extra € 480 of net incomes. A € 5 000 bonus will generate an extra € 2 400 of net incomes.
