How much income tax will I pay?
Tax status in Ireland depends on an expat's residence status. Expats qualify for tax residence if they are in Ireland, or an EU country, for at least 183 days of a tax year or 280 days over two years. Income tax: Irish income tax is calculated at the appropriate rates on your gross pay earned in a tax year.
Most employees are subject to the following taxes:
Pay as You Earn (PAYE) applies to all Irish-sourced employment income and is calculated at progressive rates. The current rates for an individual are 20% on the first EUR33,800 of the annual salary, and 40% on the balance. Income levy is payable on gross income from all sources before any tax relief, capital allowances, losses or pension contributions. The rates are 2%, 4% and 6%, depending on gross income amount. Capital gains tax: Capital gains tax is generally charged at 33% on disposals of property. (A 40% rate applies to certain assets in limited circumstances.)

What is the cost of living?
The monthly cost of living in Ireland will very much depend on where in the country you decide to settle. Dublin is the most expensive place to live with rents being the most expensive here. If you look in smaller towns or rural areas, you'll find rents are much lower. For our sample budget below we've used the rent for a two-bedroom house outside of Dublin. We suppose two - four of you will share the costs if you choose to have your own bedroom or share a bedroom.
