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 | €47,025 | none |
| €32,000 | €85,000 | €55,502 | none |
| €35,000 | €85,000 | €57,685 | none |
Joint assessment only helps when one of you would otherwise pay 40% tax while the other has unused band. On €32,000 you are inside the single band, so joint assessment only helps if your partner earns more than the single cut-off point.
