Estimates use official 2026 Revenue rates. Director / PSC typically retains more as employer PRSI does not apply. Figures are indicative only.

Disclaimer: This calculator provides an indicative estimate only. It uses 2026 Irish tax rates published by Revenue (Income Tax, USC, PRSI) and the Auto-Enrolment rates under My Future Fund. Results can differ from other calculators due to modelling assumptions around umbrella fees, employer costs and Auto-Enrolment. Actual retained earnings depend on your personal Tax Credit Certificate, pension arrangements, expenses and individual circumstances. This is not tax advice.
