Assumptions and estimates
- No credits apply. Without PPSN all pay is subject to 40% PAYE. With PPSN, the single-person band applies for four weekly periods, two fortnightly/twice-monthly periods, or the first monthly/four-weekly payment; then all pay uses 40%. Emergency USC is 8% on all pay.
- PRSI follows ordinary Class A employee rules using the selected payment month; monthly thresholds use a weekly-equivalent estimate. Pensions, benefits in kind, prior-period refunds and exemptions are excluded. An RPN and registered employment can resolve emergency deductions; this is not a refund calculation.
- Method: Emergency PAYE treatment follows PPSN availability and emergency period; emergency USC is 8%, with employee PRSI assessed separately.
- A valid Revenue Payroll Notification supersedes this emergency estimate. Missing PPSN is not the same as an RPN with zero credits.
