Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 230 to pay you € 2 080. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 2.30 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
20.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12% tax rate now rises to 20.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 24 960 a year living in Ireland, you will be taxed € 2 998. That means that your net pay will be € 21 962 per year, or € 1 830 per month. Your average tax rate is 12.0% and your marginal tax rate is 31.0%. 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 € 30.97, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 69.03.
