Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 594 to pay you € 5 375. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 4.18 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
37.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.7% tax rate now rises to 37.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 64 500 a year living in Ireland, you will be taxed € 19 810. That means that your net pay will be € 44 691 per year, or € 3 724 per month. Your average tax rate is 30.7% 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.
Bonus Example
A € 1 000 bonus will generate an extra € 515 of net incomes. A € 5 000 bonus will generate an extra € 2 575 of net incomes.
