You shouldn't pay any tax assuming you have all your tax credits and are not sharing them with your spouse if married ( in short your credits are your own).

PRSI 2.95% ish which is 9.95€

USC at
2% = 3.86 (0-193€ @ 2%)
4% = 4.60 (193-308€ = 115 x 4% = 4.60)
7% = 2.05 (308-337.35 = 29.35 x 7% = 2.05)

No tax as low earner I think!.

So 337.35
- Prsi 9.95
2% 3.86
4% 4.60
7% 2.05

Leaves you with 316.89 take home provided you are not paying tax. If you are you take your 337.35 multipy that by 20%, take away your weekly tax credit (lets say its 64 a week). That leaves you with 337.35 multipy by 20% = 67.47 a week minus tax credit of 64 a week = 3.47 tax a week.

So 337.35
- Prsi 9.95
2% 3.86
4% 4.60
7% 2.05
Tax 3.47

Leaves you with 313.42 take home if you are paying tax.

Good luck with the job

I don't think you will be paying any PRSI. Just tax possibly (depending on circumstances) and USC, which may be capped at 4% if you have a medical card.

relax carry on

Re the tax side of things, the links below will be of assistance in understanding the Irish PAYE system. You should make an effort to understand the system you are taxed under so you can ensure your payslips are correct.

Glad you found it helpful. If you don't have a p45 from a previous employer just ask your new employer for their Employers registration number and you can call your tax office and tell them you want to get a new tax credit cert and give them your new employers registration number. They will issue you a cert and one to your employer too which will outline about your tax credits and USC you will be liable to pay if any. It will show the rates and caps but the worksheet I did for you should help you understand it.
