Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 205 to pay you € 1 959. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 2.11 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
19.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 10.6% tax rate now rises to 19.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 23 508 a year living in Ireland, you will be taxed € 2 495. That means that your net pay will be € 21 013 per year, or € 1 751 per month. Your average tax rate is 10.6% and your marginal tax rate is 34.7%. 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 € 34.66, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 65.34.
Bonus Example
