Here's the take-home pay on a €62,000 salary for a single PAYE employee in 2026 — after income tax, USC, PRSI and the new MyFutureFund pension deduction.
| Item | Per year |
|---|---|
| Gross salary | €62,000 |
| Income tax (PAYE) | − €12,000 |
| USC | − €1,393 |

You pay €930/yr, your employer adds €930, and the State tops up €310 — about €2,170 into your pension this year. You only keep the employer + State money if you stay enrolled. By 2035 your contribution rises to 6% (~€3,720/yr).
€18,000 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 €15,997 — an effective rate of roughly 26% — plus the €930 MyFutureFund deduction, your net pay is about €45,073 a year. Opting out of MyFutureFund would leave you with €46,003, but you'd forgo €1,240 in employer and State contributions.
