Paying tax on 3 jobs

    Hi

    I’m a 3rd level student and i’m working 3 jobs at the moment. One of these jobs is year round and the other 2 are seasonal summer jobs.

    For the past two months now I’ve been getting taxed a pile on my two summer jobs, and have been paying no tax on my year round job. This is even after a divided up my tax credits between the 3 jobs. This is hugely problematic for me because I feel as though I’d be better off if i wasn’t working.

    I’m not sure why this is, because I made much more money working 1 job last summer and payed no tax either, so it’s not that my income is too high.

    I’d appreciate any and all help/advice!

    Figure out a rough idea of annual earnings from each job and divide your credits accordingly.

    Ex - job 1 - year round - 60% of total gross pay - 60% credits/cut off point

    Job 2 - seasonal - 25% of totall gross pay - 25% credits/cut off point

    Job 3 - seasonal - 15% of totall gross pay - 15% credits/cut off point

    Something like that. You will get any overpaid tax back at the end of the year once you submit your P21 although this might not be necessary with PAYE Modernisation.

    Will you go over €16500? If not - you wont owe any tax. USC is paid over 13k (but you could pay if you go over 12012 but that can be claimed back if your earnings stay below 13k) and you are unlikely to pay PRSI.

    Ok that’s perfect, thanks! I won’t be going over €16500 if my calculations are correct. I’ll go and try and divide up my credits better. Thanks!
