- Illustrative model outputs, not individual tax advice, a Revenue Payroll Notification or official Revenue statistics.
- Benefits in kind, MyFutureFund/auto-enrolment deductions, other deductions and personalised part-year residence calculations are excluded.
- No Budget 2027 announcement profile is used. Your actual credits and circumstances can change the answer.
