Net to gross — common questions
How do I work out gross salary from net pay?
Start with the take-home figure you want, then add back the income tax, USC and PRSI that would be charged on it. The calculator above does this for any net figure, monthly or yearly.
Why ask for a salary by take-home?
It is useful when negotiating a job, comparing an offer, or budgeting. You know what you need to live on; this tells you the gross figure that delivers it.
