🇮🇪 Ireland
Ireland uses a tax credit system rather than a personal allowance. The personal tax credit and the employee (PAYE) tax credit are €2,000 each for 2026, so 4,000 of credits effectively make the first €20,000 tax-free at the 20% rate. USC (Universal Social Charge) is a separate progressive charge on all income, with an exemption at or below €13,000. PRSI is 4.2% with no cap. Ireland's 12.5% corporate tax rate attracts major tech companies (Google, Meta, Apple), creating a strong job market for expats.

What the calculation reproduces, what it does not model
This calculation reproduces the 2026 scale (20% up to 44,000 EUR then 40%), the personal and employee tax credits of 2,000 EUR each, the Universal Social Charge at its four rates with the exemption at or below 13,000 EUR, and employee PRSI at 4.2%. Not modelled: the wider band of a married couple, the reduced USC rates for the over-70s and medical card holders, every other tax credit, and the PRSI rise of 1 October 2026. Outside the calculation: income other than salary.

Ireland's income tax system has two rates: 20% on income up to a threshold and 40% above. The Universal Social Charge (USC) and Pay Related Social Insurance (PRSI) add further deductions. Despite these layers, Ireland's effective tax rates remain competitive for higher earners compared to continental Europe. The Special Assignee Relief Programme (SARP) offers tax relief for employees assigned to work in Ireland. Dublin has become a major European technology hub hosting the European headquarters of many US multinationals.
