Three deductions come off gross pay: income tax at 20% up to your rate band and 40% above, less your tax credits; the Universal Social Charge from 0.5% to 8%; and Class A PRSI at 4.35% from 1 October 2026. A single person on €50,000 keeps €39,592.02 a year.
USC is 0.5% on the first €12,012, 2% on the next €16,688, 3% on the next €41,344 and 8% on the balance. Income of €13,000 or less pays none. People aged 70 or over, or holding a full medical card, pay only 0.5% and 2% when income is €60,000 or less.
Class A employee PRSI rose from 4.2% to 4.35% on 1 October 2026, and employer PRSI from 9% and 11.25% to 9.15% and 11.4%. Weekly pay of €352 or less pays no employee PRSI, and pay between €352.01 and €424 gets a tapered credit of up to €12 a week.
On top of gross pay, the employer pays Class A PRSI of 11.4% from 1 October 2026 when weekly pay is over €552, or 9.15% at or below it. A €50,000 salary, about €961.54 a week, therefore costs roughly €55,700 a year in total.
