Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 3.76 to pay you € 34. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 4.29 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
38.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.9% tax rate now rises to 38.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 68 952 a year living in Ireland, you will be taxed € 21 969. That means that your net pay will be € 46 983 per year, or € 3 915 per month. Your average tax rate is 31.9% 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.
