Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 588 to pay you € 5 319. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 4.16 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
37.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.5% tax rate now rises to 37.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 63 828 a year living in Ireland, you will be taxed € 19 484. That means that your net pay will be € 44 344 per year, or € 3 695 per month. Your average tax rate is 30.5% 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.
