# Calculatin take home pay after emergency tax



## Mark_jmc (21 Feb 2011)

Hi All,
I have started anew job and expect to pay emergency tax for my first months pay as my p45 may not have been in on time for payroll.  What is the best way of estimating my take home pay for the month?

Thanks in advance ,
Mark

It depends on the information you have given to your new employer- this page has the various details:

http://www.revenue.ie/en/tax/it/leaflets/emergency-basis.html

Quote from the site:



> "Under the normal Emergency Basis where a valid PPS number has been  provided, a tax credit and  Cut-Off Point (COP) is given for the first  number of weeks and it is based on the single personal tax credit and  COP for the tax year in force regardless of the employee's marital  status."



So if the above basis applies, you'll get the standard tax credits and cut-off point for a single person in the first month and you can calculate your take-home pay on that basis. Thereafter, the level of deductions increases significantly so it's important that you get the P45 to your employer ASAP.

You can download my Excel calculator at http://taxcalc.eu/monthlyss to run a quick calculation.
