fis calculations

ameee

Hi , wondering if anyone knows if fis is calculated pre or post tax? My partner started a new job and will be getting 420 per week . I know it will be sixty percent of the difference between that and the limit for three children but is that before or after deductions of tax and pension?

Also I know its asked to death but how long is it taking at the minute? We applied two weeks ago and last week got a letter to say its registered with them and they will write back when a decision is made. Thanks

Your assessable earnings and your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant's assessable earnings. (Assessable earnings are gross pay minus tax, employee PRSI, Universal Social Charge, Public Service Pension Levy and superannuation.)
