How the calculator works
- Annual pay before tax: your hourly rate × hours a week × weeks a year, plus overtime hours at 1.5× your rate.
- Take-home pay: we run that annual pay through the same 2026 income tax, USC and PRSI rules as our salary calculator, for a single PAYE employee.
For pension contributions or a different tax status, use the salary calculator, which also accepts hourly pay.
