Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 6 554 to pay you € 59 308. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.11 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
55.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 50% tax rate now rises to 55.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 711 696 a year living in Ireland, you will be taxed € 356 158. That means that your net pay will be € 355 538 per year, or € 29 628 per month. Your average tax rate is 50.0% 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.
