I have been on a career break minding the kids (Lecturer) and am due to return in September. My husband is earning €56k net (Third level job too - that's after pension levies etc). I want to go back part-time and I'd earn either roughly €10,000 (gross) or €20,000(gross) depending on the work I take on. I know I should be able to figure this out, but it's been a while....
How can I calculate what I will take home each month? As I'd be returning in September - do I get the full PAYE Tax credit? Is the Income Levy and the PRSI/Health levy worked out as a percentage of our joint income or is it separately assessed. Sorry to be so thick, I just can't figure it out.
Basically I want to know if I was to earn €10,000 or €20,000 gross - how much would I be likely to get a month after tax. If someone could give me a straightforward way to figure it out, I'd be really grateful.
