FAQ — Income Tax (Ireland)
What gets deducted from my gross salary in Ireland?+
Three separate charges: income tax at 20% up to the standard rate band and 40% above it, the Universal Social Charge (USC), and Pay Related Social Insurance (PRSI). The calculator shows each one and the resulting net income for 2025.
How does being married change the result?+
The standard rate band is widened for married couples, so more income stays at 20% before the 40% rate kicks in. That is why the calculator distinguishes single, married with one income and married with two incomes.
Why does the calculator ask about a medical card?+
Because a full medical card gives USC relief, lowering that part of the deduction. It does not change your income tax or PRSI — only the USC line.
