How to use the guide

This guide gives you a ballpark estimate of the mandatory employer cost of hiring an employee in Ireland. The final costs may differ from the provided estimates for a few reasons. Some countries assess tax by income levels, some have caps on total tax, some change based on particular industries, and some rates vary based on your employee’s city or region.

Also, since currency exchange rates fluctuate, salary costs can shift from month to month if you pay in a different base currency.

Your estimate generally doesn’t include costs for vacation, sick pay, private health insurance, and other employer-provided benefits. Onboarding expenses are also not included.
