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 | €46,298 | none |
| €31,000 | €84,000 | €54,047 | none |
| €35,000 | €84,000 | €56,958 | none |
Joint assessment only helps when one of you would otherwise pay 40% tax while the other has unused band. On €31,000 you are inside the single band, so joint assessment only helps if your partner earns more than the single cut-off point.
