Post-Budget take-home pay: 2026 rules against 2027 announcements
This page opens the Count.ie salary calculator on the 2027 Budget profile. Use the “Tax rules” switch to flip back to published 2026 rules with the same entries and compare the annual difference. Announced measures are proposals until legislated; the 2026 rules are the ones operating now.

What the 2027 estimate covers
- Gross salary up to €70,044 per earner under the 2027 profile. Higher 2027 figures are blocked rather than estimated.
- Single and couple assessment, PRSI, USC and the credits offered in the calculator's adjustment panel.
- A switch between 2026 published rules and the 2027 Budget profile that keeps every figure you have entered.
What it does not do
- Exact 2027 payslips. The calculator is an annual model and does not reproduce a payroll run or cumulative basis.
- Upper-band 2027 changes that the Budget documents leave disputed, shown on the Budget 2027 income tax guide.
- Any measure not yet enacted being treated as operative. Announced measures remain subject to legislation.
Frequently asked questions
Is the 2027 take-home figure what I will be paid?
No. It applies announced Budget 2027 measures to an annual model of your entries. Measures need legislation, and payroll applies credits, cut-offs and PRSI weekly or monthly, so your payslip can differ.
Why does the 2027 option stop at €70,044?
The calculator's 2027 profile is limited to gross salaries up to €70,044 per earner. Above that the Budget papers leave the standard rate band in dispute, so the calculator reports that limit instead of a figure.
Which of my entries carry across when I switch tax year?
All of them. Switching between 2026 and 2027 changes only the rules profile, so compare the two annual results with the same salary, assessment and credits.
