Understanding Ireland Income Tax 2025

Ireland has a progressive tax system with income tax, Universal Social Charge (USC), and PRSI contributions. The Irish Revenue administers the tax system. For 2025, tax bands have been increased and PRSI increased from October 1, 2025, as part of Budget 2025.

2025 Income Tax Bands

Ireland uses a two-rate tax system: 20% (standard rate) and 40% (higher rate). The standard rate band varies based on your status:

2025 Income Tax Bands by Status
Single or Widowed (no dependent children):
• 20% on first €44,000
• 40% on income above €44,000

Single Parent:
• 20% on first €48,000
• 40% on income above €48,000

Married / Civil Partner (one income):
• 20% on first €53,000
• 40% on income above €53,000

Married / Civil Partner (both working):
• Each spouse: 20% on first €44,000 (€88,000 combined)
• Excess: 40%

Formula: \( \text{Income Tax} = (\text{Standard Band Income} \times 0.20 + \text{Excess Income} \times 0.40) - \text{Tax Credits} \)

Universal Social Charge (USC) 2025

The USC is a tax applied to gross income with progressive rates. The third band was reduced to 3.5% in Budget 2025:

2025 Universal Social Charge (USC) Rates
• 0.5% on income up to €12,012
• 2.0% on €12,012.01 to €27,382
• 3.5% on €27,382.01 to €70,044
• 8.0% on income above €70,044

Special Cases:
• Self-employed earning over €100,000: Additional 3% surcharge on excess
• Persons 70+ and/or with medical card: Reduced 2% rate (up to €60,000)

Formula for standard earner: \( \text{USC} = (12,012 \times 0.005) + (15,370 \times 0.02) + \text{(Remaining} \times \text{applicable rate)} \)

PRSI (Pay-Related Social Insurance) 2025

PRSI contributions fund social insurance benefits. Rates increased on October 1, 2025. Employees earning €352 or less per week are exempt:

PRSI Rates 2025
Employees (Class A1):
• Annual Rate: Blended rate of 4.125% (4.1% until Sep 30, 4.2% after)
• Exempt if earning €352 or less per week (€18,304 annually)
• No upper earning limit

Self-Employed:
• Rate: Blended rate of 4.125%
• Minimum annual contribution: €650
• Exempt if income under €5,000 annually

Formula: \( \text{PRSI} = \text{Annual Income} \times 0.04125 \)

Tax Credits 2025

Tax credits reduce your tax liability (not your taxable income). Main credits for employees:

Tax Credits 2025
Personal Tax Credit: €2,000
Employee (PAYE) Tax Credit: €2,000
Total standard employee credits: €4,000

How much will I pay in tax on a €50,000 salary?
This is an example for a single employee in 2025:
  • Gross Income Tax: €44,000 at 20% (€8,800) + €6,000 at 40% (€2,400) = €11,200.
  • Final Income Tax (after credits): €11,200 - €4,000 (Personal & PAYE credits) = €7,200.
  • USC: Approximately €1,159.
  • PRSI: €50,000 * 4.125% = €2,062.50.
  • Total Deductions: €7,200 + €1,159 + €2,062.50 = €10,421.50.
  • Net Take-Home Pay: €50,000 - €10,421.50 = €39,578.50.
