PAYE (Pay As You Earn) is a system where your employer deducts income tax and often social contributions from your wages before you are paid. You receive net income in your account and do not need to pay the full annual tax bill in one lump sum at the end of the year, though you may still file a return if you have other income.
\n
How PAYE works
\n
Your employer uses tax codes or revenue instructions to calculate how much to withhold each pay period. Deductions may include income tax and, in Ireland, items like PRSI and USC. PAYE is standard for employees in the UK and Ireland.
\n
PAYE vs Self Assessment
\n
If all your income comes from one employer and you have no side business, PAYE often covers most of your obligation automatically. If you freelance, invest heavily, or have rental income, you may also need Self Assessment to declare what PAYE did not capture.
\n
Checking your payslip
\n
Compare gross and net amounts on your payslip with what lands in your bunq Bank Account. Use Budgeting based on net pay so your spending plan matches money you actually have.
