If your spouse or civil partner also works
| Partner earns | Couple's 20% band | Household take-home | Gain from joint assessment |
|---|---|---|---|
| €20,000 | €73,000 | €41,157 | none |
| €24,000 | €77,000 | €43,766 | none |
| €35,000 | €77,000 | €51,817 | none |
Joint assessment only helps when one of you would otherwise pay 40% tax while the other has unused band. On €24,000 you are inside the single band, so joint assessment only helps if your partner earns more than the single cut-off point.
