How Irish Pension Tax Relief Works

Contributing to a pension (Occupational Pension, Personal Pension, or PRSA) is the most tax-efficient investment strategy in Ireland.

1. Marginal Tax Relief

Contributions receive tax relief at your top rate of Income Tax (20% or 40%). A €100 contribution costs a 40% taxpayer just €60 after tax savings.

2. Age-Based Contribution Caps

Maximum percentage of gross earnings (capped at €115,000) allowed for tax relief:

  • Under 30: 15%
  • 30–39: 20%
  • 40–49: 25%
  • 50–54: 30%
  • 55–59: 35%
  • 60+: 40%
