Hi all, got married last year and we never bothered going to the revenue to inform them of our big day.
This evening, out of curiosity, I checked out some of the online calculators. And while all gave me back varying figures, all indicated that we would be far better off being classed as married.
For example, on the PWC calculator, If I put in my salary of 35k as a single person my monthly disposable is €2328 while If I put it in as married it shoots up to €2793. My wife is on €30k and would also see a big increase in her monthly disposable. Surely I'm missing something here? Is this all too good to be true?
Would appreciate any thoughts or comments, and yes I am clueless.
