How is salary taxed in Ireland?

If you're an employee in Ireland, three deductions come out of your gross pay before it lands in your account: income tax (PAYE), the Universal Social Charge (USC) and Pay Related Social Insurance (PRSI). Tax credits then reduce the income tax you actually owe. Our net salary calculator applies all three using the Budget 2026 figures.
