Ireland payroll

What Ireland payroll actually has to do

The tax authority is Revenue. Currency is EUR. PAYE Modernisation — PAYE, PRSI and USC computed, with your Revenue (ROS) submission figures prepared for every pay date.

Income tax (PAYE)
Standard rate 20% up to the cut-off, 40% above. Tax credits applied per employee — not a UK-style personal allowance.
USC (Universal Social Charge)
Applied across all bands — 0.5%, 2%, 3% and 8% — with the correct cut-offs for the current Budget.
PRSI (Pay Related Social Insurance)
Class A — employee and employer contributions at the rates in force, including the mid-year step-up applied to the right period.
My Future Fund auto-enrolment
The new Irish auto-enrolment scheme, live from 1 January 2026: 1.5% employee + 1.5% employer for eligible workers aged 23–60 in the €20k–€80k band.
Real-time submission
Payroll is calculated and reported to Revenue Online Service (ROS) on every pay date — PAYE Modernisation, end to end.
