Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 119 to pay you € 1 354. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 0.97 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
8.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 0.9% tax rate now rises to 8.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 16 248 a year living in Ireland, you will be taxed € 145. That means that your net pay will be € 16 103 per year, or € 1 342 per month. Your average tax rate is 0.9% and your marginal tax rate is 2.0%. 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 € 2, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 98.
Bonus Example
A € 1 000 bonus will generate an extra € 980 of net incomes. A € 5 000 bonus will generate an extra € 4 900 of net incomes.
