Something odd going on here: my payslip shows that my January salary increase is actually costing me money: I take less home than before the increase.
I found out it is because of the PRSI: if my annual salary was 250 euro less, I would still be on A1, whereas now I'm on A2. This costs about 100 euro more per month.
Before I go and ask for a minor salary decrease (I never thought one day I would ask one...), just a quick question: would participating in the bike scheme or a pension solve this problem? I know that money is taken from the gross pay, so maybe that would pull me back to A1?
I know chances are small, but if revenue considers this "making less money", my problem would be solved too.
Any feedback would be much appreciated
