PAYE

The changes to PAYE will only affect people earning over €42,000, as the threshold has been raised to €44,000.

Personal tax credits and employee tax credits are increasing by €125 each. 

That means savings on PAYE for a single person earning €60,000 will amount to €400 from the PAYE changes and €250 from changes to credits.

USC

Changes to USC have also been announced with the 4% rate cut to 3% on incomes between €25,000 and €70,000.

So for a person earning €60,000 there will be a saving of €359. 

Total

The tax savings for people on €60,000 will be  €1,009.
