PRSI calculator for employees

Pay Related Social Insurance (PRSI) builds your entitlement to the State Pension (Contributory), Jobseeker's Benefit, Illness Benefit and other payments.

Most employees pay Class A PRSI. Enter your pay to see how much comes out each week, month and year.

That pay is for

How it's calculated

  1. PRSI is worked out on weekly pay. If you are paid monthly, your pay is turned into a weekly figure (times 12, divided by 52).
  2. Up to €352 a week you pay no employee PRSI.
  3. Above that you pay 4.35% on all your weekly pay, not just the part over the threshold.
  4. Between €352 and €424 a week a PRSI Credit applies. It starts at €12 and drops by one-sixth of what you earn over €352.01, and it comes off your PRSI.

An example

On €377 a week at 4.2%, PRSI is €15.83. The credit is €12 less one-sixth of €24.99 (€4.17), so €7.83. You pay €8.00 a week.

Does my employer pay PRSI too?
