How this is calculated
Vest value is shares times price. At vest it is taxed through payroll as income: 40% income tax, 8% USC and 4.2% PRSI at the higher rate (52.2% combined), or 20% income tax, 3% USC and 4.2% PRSI at the standard rate. PRSI rises to 4.35% from October 2026. The later-sale line applies 33% CGT to the gain above the vest price, less the €1,270 annual exemption. Currency, broker fees and payroll rounding are not modelled. 2026 rates.
