    Hello! I suspect I was underpaid last month and will be this month, if I get paid at all!

    I have the payslip, my most recent tax credit certificate and my annual wage.

    How do I figure out what my net pay should have been? Is something like virtual accountant.ie accurate enough?

    There are many calculators available:

    My Excel spreadsheet: http://taxcalc.eu/monthlyss
    Karl Grabe's web app: http://taxcalc.eu
    Deloitte's calculator: http://services.deloitte.ie/tc/

    Virtualaccountant.ie is a good one too.

    Thank you so much! I couldn't get the excel file to work, but used all the rest.
    Though I am married, I calculated as a single person. We split our tax credits evenly, so I figured that was the easiest way to show my own net pay per month. Hopefully that doesn't throw off my results?

    Virtual accountant was the most detailed, and the only calculator that seemed to take into account my specific tax credits, which are higher than usual due to the home renovation incentive. Its result was also closest to my pay in May, which was €3320. This is in keeping with what I was earning in my previous job.

    However, my pay in June was €3200, though my payslip, which arrived a month late, shows €3105. There is a big difference in basic pay for both months, and I do not know why. I have not received payment or payslip for July so am trying to figure out how much I am owed.

    The company did change name and I was advised on another thread that I may have been charged emergency tax, but that doesn't seem to be reflected in my payslips - the discrepancy comes from the basic pay only.

    So my conclusion is that it is I have been underpaid. Or have I made some rookie mistake?
