Your average rate is 7.9% for income tax and 13.7% with USC and PRSI. Each extra euro you earn is taxed at a marginal rate of 27.2%, because all of your salary is inside the €44,000 20% band.

How the tax is worked out

  1. Gross tax: 20% of €33,000 = €6,600.00.
  2. Less tax credits of €4,000 = income tax of €2,600.00.
  3. USC: 0.5% of €12,012 + 2% of €16,688 + 3% of €4,300 = €522.82.
  4. PRSI: 4.2375% of €33,000 (4.2% to 30 September, 4.35% after) = €1,398.38.

Joint assessment only helps when one of you would otherwise pay 40% tax while the other has unused band. On €33,000 you are inside the single band, so joint assessment only helps if your partner earns more than the single cut-off point.
