Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 139 to pay you € 1 575. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 1.31 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
12.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 4.3% tax rate now rises to 12.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 18 900 a year living in Ireland, you will be taxed € 805. That means that your net pay will be € 18 095 per year, or € 1 508 per month. Your average tax rate is 4.3% and your marginal tax rate is 47.2%. 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 € 47.20, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 52.80.
Bonus Example
A € 1 000 bonus will generate an extra € 528 of net incomes. A € 5 000 bonus will generate an extra € 2 640 of net incomes.
