    Hi guys, long story made short. Have medical card. Married, 2 kids. Current take home pay is €300. Boss wants to give me a €100 raise but I'm worried this will put me over the limit for medical cards. They make allowances for mortgage but does anyone know how they calculate this?
    Don't want to go over threshold because one kid is injury prone sports nut and the younger one has poor immune system. So really need to keep the card

    For the medical card your grand as you get allowances for rent and children etc and you should be below the thresgold. But if you mean rent supplement then they'll take that extra money as means and reduce rent or mortgage supplement

    They take creche costs, rent/mortgage payments, travel to work expenses etc into account. It's a percentage I think although cannot be sure.
