Calculate exactly how much extra take-home pay you'll get in 2026 due to the new tax bands and USC cuts.
The Universal Social Charge (USC) has seen significant cuts. The middle band rate has been reduced, meaning you keep more of the money you earn between €25,760 and €70,044. This alone puts hundreds of euros back into the pockets of middle-income earners annually.
The point at which you start paying the higher 40% income tax rate has been pushed up. For a single person, the standard rate cut-off has increased, allowing you to earn more at the lower 20% rate before hitting the higher tax bracket.
The Rent Tax Credit has been expanded again. If you are renting privately, you can now claim up to €1,000 (Single) or €2,000 (Married) back as a direct reduction against your tax bill. (Note: Our widget above focuses on standard salary changes; rent credits must be claimed separately).
Yes, this tool uses our official 2026 calculation engine which incorporates all the latest tax credits, USC bands, and PRSI thresholds published by Revenue.ie. The calculation shown is a highly accurate estimate of your take-home pay based on standard tax credits.
