Rule version
Version IE-2026-v3, approved on 2026-10-17, last validated on 2026-10-17. Rules are effective from 2026-01-01 to 2026-12-31. Published rule versions cannot be edited; corrections are released as a new version.
Calculation assumptions
- Irish tax-resident PAYE employee aged 23-59 throughout 2026, with the selected filing status and one Class A employment per entered earner.
- Equal monthly ordinary salary for the whole year, between EUR30,000 and EUR80,000 household gross; no low-pay PRSI credit or lower employer-rate band applies.
- PRSI uses nine monthly payments at 4.2% and three at 4.35%; employer rates are 11.25% and 11.40%. Each monthly payment is rounded to cents.
- USC and PRSI are calculated separately for each earner. Income tax uses the selected personal credits and standard-rate band.
- MyFutureFund contributions apply only when that enrollment option is selected. Employee payments reduce net cash, not taxable pay.
