Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 130 to pay you € 1 474. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 1.06 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
9.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 1.8% tax rate now rises to 9.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 17 688 a year living in Ireland, you will be taxed € 311. That means that your net pay will be € 17 377 per year, or € 1 448 per month. Your average tax rate is 1.8% and your marginal tax rate is 22.0%. 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 € 22, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 78.
Bonus Example
A € 1 000 bonus will generate an extra € 780 of net incomes. A € 5 000 bonus will generate an extra € 3 900 of net incomes.
