Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 1 774 to pay you € 20 072. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 1.53 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
14.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 6.5% tax rate now rises to 14.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 20 072 a year living in Ireland, you will be taxed € 1 304. That means that your net pay will be € 18 768 per year, or € 1 564 per month. Your average tax rate is 6.5% and your marginal tax rate is 34.7%. 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 € 34.66, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 65.34.
