Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 2 068 560 to pay you € 18 720 000. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.30 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
56.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 52% tax rate now rises to 56.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 224 640 000 a year living in Ireland, you will be taxed € 116 798 876. That means that your net pay will be € 107 841 124 per year, or € 8 986 760 per month. Your average tax rate is 52.0% 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.
