How Does This Work?

This calculator works backwards from your desired take-home pay to the gross salary you need to negotiate. It uses the 2026 Irish tax rates (income tax, USC and PRSI) and assumes standard tax credits for a single PAYE worker.

Use the full calculator above if you want to factor in pension contributions, rent tax credit, home carer credit, or a medical card — these will reduce the gross salary you need.
