You pay €855/yr, your employer adds €855, and the State tops up €285 — about €1,995 into your pension this year. You only keep the employer + State money if you stay enrolled. By 2035 your contribution rises to 6% (~€3,420/yr).
€13,000 of your income sits in the 40% higher-rate band (everything above €44,000). The first €44,000 is taxed at 20%.
After income tax, USC and PRSI of about €13,637 — an effective rate of roughly 24% — plus the €855 MyFutureFund deduction, your net pay is about €42,508 a year. Opting out of MyFutureFund would leave you with €43,363, but you'd forgo €1,140 in employer and State contributions.
