Real tax rate

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 € 70 720 416 a year living in Ireland, you will be taxed € 36 760 692. That means that your net pay will be € 33 959 724 per year, or € 2 829 977 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.
Bonus Example
A € 1 000 bonus will generate an extra € 480 of net incomes. A € 5 000 bonus will generate an extra € 2 400 of net incomes.
