    I will be signing on in May unless I get a job offer prior to then.

    In 2010 I earned ~10,000 in a PT job.

    I notice there is a graduation of payments of JSB.

    However is your gross yearly simply divided by 52 or do they divide it by say 46 to incorporate holiday time etc?

    Thanks:)

    Jobseeker's Benefit rates are graduated according to your earnings in the relevant tax year. Since January 2009, a reduced rate of Jobseeker's Benefit is payable if your average weekly earnings in the Relevant Tax Year before you became unemployed were under €300. Your average weekly earnings is your gross yearly earnings from employment divided by the number paid A, H or P contributions in the Relevant Tax Year.
