No USC if your income is €13,000 or less. Otherwise 0.5% on the first €12,012, 2% up to €30,300 (up from €28,700), 3% up to €70,044 and 8% above.

Why is my payslip different from the calculator?
Emergency tax, Week 1 basis, credits split between jobs, overtime, benefit-in-kind or a medical card (reduced USC) all change one payslip. Check your Tax Credit Certificate in myAccount, then ask payroll.
When do the Budget 2027 rates start?
From 1 January 2027, once the Finance Act is passed — check your first payslip of the year.
