Budget 2027 · announced, not yet law
Same pay under the figures announced on 6 October 2026 for January 2027.
- Take-home in 2027
- €40,358
- Change per year
- +€766
Income tax €6,450 · USC €1,017 · PRSI €2,175
- The Budget statement does not mention the 0.5% band, the 8% starting point (€70,044) or the €13,000 USC exemption, so those are kept at 2026 values.
- Employee PRSI is kept at 4.35%. Any later 2027 change was not checked against a government source.
Why there are two columns
The 2026 figure uses the rates Revenue lists for this year. The Budget 2027 figure applies what the Minister for Finance announced on 6 October 2026. Those changes take effect only once the Finance Bill passes, so treat the second number as a preview.
The Minister’s own example is someone on €50,000 paying over €700 less in income tax and USC. Put 50,000 in the box and the difference shown matches that.
Married couples and two incomes
For a married couple or civil partners with one income, the 20% band is €53,000 in 2026 and the couple gets the €4,000 married credit. Two-income couples can add up to €35,000 more to the band, limited to the lower earner’s income, and the increase cannot be moved between partners.
The two-income case depends on both salaries, so this first version leaves it out.
Where PRSI changed this year
Employee Class A PRSI went from 4.2% to 4.35% on 1 October 2026. The yearly figure here uses 4.35% throughout, so for 2026 as a whole it is a little higher than what you actually pay across the year.
How it is calculated
