How €15,000 is taxed, step by step
- Income tax. All €15,000 falls inside the €44,000 standard rate band, so it is taxed at 20%: €3,000.00 before credits. Your tax credits (€2,000 personal and €2,000.00 employee) are larger than that, so you pay no income tax at all.
- USC. 0.5% on €12,012 = €60.06; 2% on €2,988 = €59.76. Total €119.82.
- PRSI. You earn €352 a week or less, so no PRSI is due.
You are below the 40% band, so each extra €100 you earn leaves you about €98 after tax, USC and PRSI.
