Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 7 956 to pay you € 72 000. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 6.14 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
55.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 50.4% tax rate now rises to 55.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 864 000 a year living in Ireland, you will be taxed € 435 356. That means that your net pay will be € 428 644 per year, or € 35 720 per month. Your average tax rate is 50.4% 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.
