connect-src 'none') blocks the page from making any outbound request, so your salary can't be transmitted even by accident. - Nothing stored. No cookies, no local storage of your figures, no account. Refresh the page and it's gone.

How this net salary calculator works (2026)
Ireland uses a progressive system. Three deductions come off your gross salary: income tax (PAYE), the Universal Social Charge (USC) and PRSI. Here are the 2026 figures this calculator uses, confirmed in Budget 2026.
Income tax (PAYE)
| Status | 20% band | 40% |
|---|---|---|
| Single / widowed | First €44,000 | Balance |
| Married, one income | First €53,000 | Balance |
Tax credits are then subtracted: a €2,000 Personal Tax Credit plus the €2,000 Employee (PAYE) Tax Credit for a single employee. Budget 2026 left bands and credits unchanged from 2025.
Universal Social Charge (USC)
| Band | Rate |
|---|---|
| Up to €12,012 | 0.5% |
| €12,012 – €28,700 | 2% |
| €28,700 – €70,044 | 3% |
| Balance | 8% |
Budget 2026 widened the 2% band ceiling to €28,700. Total income at or below €13,000 is exempt from USC. USC is charged on gross income and is not reduced by tax credits or pension contributions.
PRSI
Class A employee PRSI is 4.2% of gross pay for most of 2026, rising to 4.35% from 1 October 2026. This tool uses 4.2% as the headline rate; weekly earnings of €352 or less are exempt.
Note: this is an estimate for a standard PAYE employee. It doesn't model every relief (e.g. medical-card USC reduction, BIK, additional credits, or two-income couple band capping). Pension % is applied to the income-tax base only.
