For a single person with totally standard tax details, you would net €347.03 per week on a gross of €384.62 per week.

ok based on standard single person annual details:
tax credits: 3300
cut off: 32800
prsi rate: AL

Gross wages: 384.61
USC: 13.82
PRSI EE: 10.30
NET PAY: 360.49

However, you may be put on "Emergency Tax" until Revenue send your new employers your tax details.
If you re on Emergency TAX your net will be 315.57.
(Tax of 44.92)

The tax paid, will be refunded when revenue send your standard details to employers.

Hope that helps.

If the tax office give you a cumulative cert , you may be able to avoid paying tax until you earn at least € 4500 , as there are now more than 13 week already into tax year .

to avoid going on Emergency Tax, get the employer's registered number, ring revenue with that and your own PPS number and ask them to issue your tax credit certification asap to new employer

Based on a Period 1 basis yes, 13.46 would be payable.
However, Cumulatively/standard which is how payrolls are calculated, the Op is not liable for PAYE.

Eg, 20,000 / 52 = 384.61 (weekly rate of pay)
384.61 * 20%(rate of tax) = 76.92 (weekly taxable amount)
standard tax credit 3300 / 39 (number of weeks left in year) = 84.61

Op could earn another 7.69, weekly, before having to pay tax.

Oops- silly me:o I'm the one who forgot something!

Ellejay and allthedoyles are correct - the accumulated tax credits not yet used up will eliminate the tax.

One additional point, it is possible that the OP might be entitled to reclaim some of the USC at the end of the year, as his/her weekly income will be at a level where the higher rate is applied each week but the overall annual income might come in under the high-rate threshold.
