As mentioned in our “Payroll Effect” post in December we will be providing a number of informative posts on budgetary changes for this year.
Removal of PRSI allowance for employees
Below is a table that highlights the real effect or values on your pay from Jan 2013. It highlights the amounts you will be down if paid monthly, weekly, fortnightly, bi-monthly or 4-weekly.
It is based on the most common Class A1:
| Frequency | Earnings exceed | Net by reduced by |
| Weekly | €500 | €5.08 |
| Fortnightly | €1,000 | €10.16 |
| Bi-Monthly | €1,084 | €11.02 |
| 4-Weekly | €2,000 | €20.32 |
| Monthly | €2,167 | €22.04 |
The PRSI allowance applies to Class A, H and E contributors. The PRSI allowance for modified rate contributors (Classes B, C and D) amounting to €26 is also being abolished.
There will be no impact on employees with weekly earnings which do not exceed €352.
