Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 392 to pay you € 3 543. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 3.26 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
29.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.5% tax rate now rises to 29.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 42 516 a year living in Ireland, you will be taxed € 9 147. That means that your net pay will be € 33 369 per year, or € 2 781 per month. Your average tax rate is 21.5% and your marginal tax rate is 48.5%. 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 € 48.50, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 51.50.
