I'm useless at maths but good with money

I get it gross €2,169 (I presume you mean the interest rate is fixed for the 18mths)

Is DIRT still 41%? If it is then your net return is €1,279 with DIRT of €889

41% since start of 2014 thanks i just put 90k in a Ptsb Fixed Account for 18 months that's pretty poor.Kinda scratching my head that a just matured BOI 1 year fixed that had 2.20% gross for a 70k amount yields only €50 less interest after same dirt?

How do you work that out?

70k @ 2.2% is €1,540 gross which is €908 after DIRT, that is more than 50 in the difference?

Your return in 18mths is going to be €1,279 on the 90k

Or are you comparing the 1yr BoI with what the return on the 90k would be over 1yr?

Sorry thanks i actually got this cleared up it was 2.00% gross from BOI actually which yielded €823 my new 18 month with Permanent will give €1917 after dirt staying the same. Sorry I'm dense took a real life accountant to explain it

Now I'm puzzled, how are you getting a return of €1,917 after DIRT, I am getting the after DIRT figure to be €1,279 on 90k for 18mths @2.41%

That's a big difference????

Actually I think I have figured it out, the higher figure is using the 2.41% as an annual interest rate but I don't think it is one, it is surely a fixed term fixed rate so the 2.41% is for 18 months and not 12 months plus another 6 especially as you have quoted an annual equivalent rate of 1.6%

Right, so it's sorted, you will be getting €1,279 assuming DIRT doesn't increase

According to the calculator its gross of 3.2k minus Dirt gives a Net Interest of €1917. Anyway PTSB will send a letter maybe Monday with what the 18 month will yield so i'll see.

You're putting the 2.41% figure into an annual percentage field. That's the 18 month figure. You should be using the 1.6% AER figure in the calculator.

The gross interest is very simple: 2.41% of 90k = 2,169.
41% DIRT of 2,169 = 889.29.
2,169 - 889.29 = 1279.71

According to a post in a different thread here, PTSB will cut deposit rates this Tuesday 10 March. If you have not already opened / funded your fixed term deposit account, you might be best speedily doing it on Monday 9 March.
