## How €30,000 breaks down in Ireland 2026 See the full PAYE, USC, PRSI and pension breakdown in the table above (2026 Revenue rates). Sector insight: €30,000 is the symbolic minimum for many graduate-level employer pension scheme matches. If your employer matches up to 5 percent, then contributing 5 percent (€1,500) costs you only €1,200 net after 20 percent tax relief. With matched contributions you suddenly have €3,000 going into your pension for €1,200 of net wage forgone. Few other reliefs match that 150 percent immediate return.
