    Surely your pay slip explains what you are paying?

    You are liable for tax, PRSI, income and health levies (payable in 2010, replaced by Universal Service Charge in 2011) and also the public sector pension levy.

    But you can take comfort that so are the rest of us! :rolleyes:

    about 28% tax you are paying then.

    no idea how accurate this site is but interesting comparison to other countries.
