Civil Service Pay - New Job Pay

fergald

Hi,

Got an offer of a HEO position in my hometown. It is great news but I am a bit unsure. I was wondering could anyone tell me the exact pension levy you would pay as a HEO are their any other deductions to take into account.

I really wondering what would take home be, reckon would be about 2.6 k per month but I am not sure with the levies etc.

Married and wife works part time

Any ideas

Kind Regards
Fergald

are you existing PS/CS or you new PS/CS

This will determine the amount of Penion that you pay

It came out at 2517 per month when I put it in taxcalc.

You will be paid every 2nd Thursday - CS are not monthly paid

PRD (Pension Levy) will be €71.68 per fortnight

This will change in January 2019 to:

4. Single Public Service Pension Scheme - Post 2013
(a)From 1st January 2019 members of this scheme will be liable at 6.66% [currently 10% PRD] on income
above €32,000 and not exceeding €60,000, with amounts above €60,000 liable at 7% [currently 10.5% PRD]
(b) From 1st January 2020 rates are further reduced with amounts above €34,500 and not exceeding
€60,000 liable at 3.33% and amounts above €60,000 liable at 3.5%
(c) The proposed new contribution will be in addition to the existing superannuation contribution and
will apply to pensionable remuneration only from 1st January 2019


Based on single person SRCOP(€34550 & TC (€3300) you will be looking at net pay of €1319.69 every 2 weeks

Basic Pay 1822.61

PRD 71.68
Pension 84.41
PRSI 72.90
PAYE 273.93 (502.92)

Net Pay 1319.69

what government dept did you get offered?

fergald

Thanks for the information

Do you have to make a pension contribution on top of the levy also, i presume the 2500 incorporates being married and jointly assessed as my wife is on 20% tax rate.

impega1

Unfortunately yes, pension levy is just fancy way of say pay cut - it does not go anywhere near a pension fund

i have based the figures on a stand alone single assessment - the 1319.69 is based on standard allowances

what are your allowances, if i've time i'll work it out for you

fergald

Hi Impega1,

Position is in Agriculture, I am Jointly assessed, my wife earns 13,000 per annum working part time. After that i don't have any allowances.
Good opportunity to not spend the rest of my life commuting.

Kind Regards
Fergal.

gonna base it on COP of 43550 and Tax Credit of 4000

13000*20%= 2600
3300-2600=700

Your wife has 700 Tax Credits spare so transfer them to you gives 4000

Basic Pay 1822.61

PRD 71.68
Pension 84.41
PRSI 72.90
PAYE 179.46 408.45

Net Pay 1414.16


For peace of mind I would suggest joining the Union (Forsa) for no other reason other than the Income Continuance Plan that they offer
It tops up your salary if you are out sick longer than 3 months

Good luck in the position if you take, also bear in mind there are pay increases of 1% (1 October 2018), 1.75% (1 September 2019) and 2% ( 1 October 2020)

You will also recieve your increment annually provided you recieve a satisfactory rating in your Preformance Review

So for yourself, your salary would look like

47552 - on appointment
48028- 1 Oct 1% Increase
49474 - increment
50340 - 1 Sept 19 1.75% increase
51772 - increment
52756 - 1 Oct 2020 Increase
54210 - increment

Sir Ophiuchus

Seconding the recommendation of the Union and the income continuance plan. It's a tiny amount of money to know you'll have guaranteed income if longterm sick or permanently disabled. Also if you join right after starting in the Civil Service there are no medical tests for it.

Thanks to everyone for the great information, it is kind of exciting for me and i think that I will be accepting the position.
Special thanks to impega1 for all that great information.

Thought it was 1k in October

Happy days, OP. That's the dream.

I'm 26 and from the shticks myself. Currently in the CS in Dublin. Rent is a nightmare and gobbling up a large portion of my wages.

You won't know yourself, fair play.
