Every year, Budget Day comes around and my colleagues, friends and
family all ask the same question: "How much of my salary do I
actually keep?" ā and the only tools available were either buried
inside different clunky corporate websites, hopelessly outdated, or
missing half the picture (USC? PRSI? Auto-Enrolment? Forget it).
So I built the tool I always wished existed. š ļø
What makes it different from every other Irish tax calculator:
š° 14 specialist calculators in one place ā not just salary, but
bonus tax, emergency tax, contractor daily rates, rental income,
CGT, inheritance tax, pension AVCs, WFH relief and more.
š Pre-calculated salary directory covering 89 Irish salary
brackets from ā¬13k to ā¬300k ā with exact monthly/weekly
breakdowns and pay-rise scenario tables.
š 100% browser-side calculation ā your salary data never leaves
your device or hits a server.
ā” Updated for Budget 2026 the same day it was announced,
including the blended PRSI rate change from October 2026.
š Every figure is verified against official Revenue.ie guidelines
ā because this is your money and it should be accurate.
I'd love to hear from anyone navigating Irish tax ā whether you're
a PAYE employee, a contractor comparing Umbrella vs Ltd Company,
a landlord, or a freelancer trying to survive the October
self-assessment deadline.
What other tools or calculators would you find genuinely useful?
Happy to build them!
