What this means in practice
At €19 an hour on a 40-hour week (2080 hours over the year), Revenue takes income tax, USC and PRSI before you see the money. The figures here assume a single PAYE worker with the standard personal and PAYE tax credits and no pension contributions.
Pension contributions, the Rent Tax Credit (worth up to €1,000), Remote Working Relief and the Small Benefit Exemption can push your real take-home higher. If you work overtime, are paid weekly or your hours vary, run the full calculator with your actual pay slip details for a precise figure.
All figures use Budget 2026 rates (PRSI 4.2%, USC 3% on the third band, €44,000 single standard-rate band).
