How to calculate PAYE tax in Ireland

Irish PAYE (Pay As You Earn) applies to employees on a fixed salary. Your employer deducts income tax, USC, and employee PRSI from each payslip using tax credits and rate bands issued by Revenue on your RPN (Revenue Payroll Notification).

This PAYE calculator estimates your take-home pay from a gross annual salary for 2026. Enter your salary, marital status, and any pension contributions to see monthly and annual net pay after income tax, USC, and Class A employee PRSI.

Who should use this calculator?

  • Permanent employees in Ireland on a fixed annual salary
  • Anyone comparing net pay after a pay rise, bonus, or pension change
  • Married couples checking joint assessment and transferable rate bands

Contractors on a day rate through an umbrella company should use the umbrella contractor calculator instead. For personalised guidance, contact Paytube.
