How much was I earning?

Shanley

Recently I finished working for a company where I was earning €400 a week after tax/prsi/income levy over a 39 hour week.

Just wondering how much I was actually earning before taxes etc as I have an interview tomorrow and I assume pay will come up.

I am 20years old with only the standard tax credits (dont have anything for rent etc)

Thanks for your help in advance,
Shanley.

Were you employed for the entire year in 2009? If yes- and you earned a steady €400 every single week even after the mini-budget in April 2009- you would have been technically been grossing different amount in the first period (from Jan to end April) and in the period thereafter (May to end December).

On the basis that you were employed for the full year and that you earned a steady €400 net every single week, I calculate as follows (standard tax details for a single person):

Gross (16 weeks @ €432.71+ 36 weeks @ €438.55)= €22711 for the year

These values would give you a net €400 each week using the appropriate rates as per the 2 separate budgets in 2009.

See my calculator at http://taxcalc.eu/monthlyss if you want to check details (use the "Net to gross" tool on the 'Other tools' sheet to work from a net value to a gross value)
