Advanced calculation
How additional pay is treated
The advanced estimate keeps cash income, taxable benefits and pension deductions separate so each item affects take-home pay in the appropriate way.
Bonus and overtime
Cash bonus and overtime are employment income subject to Income Tax, USC and PRSI. Impact cards compare the estimate with and without that income.
Benefits in Kind
Employer-paid health insurance increases taxable pay but is not included in cash gross income received by the employee.
Uses 2026 Irish PAYE, USC and PRSI assumptions. Results are live annualised estimates and may differ from payslips because of Revenue credit allocation, payroll timing, cumulative PAYE, benefit treatment and rounding. This does not replace Revenue, payroll, pension or financial advice.
