Budget 2027 is presented on Tuesday 6 October 2026. Ahead of the speech, enter your salary and try the standard rate band, USC and credit changes being discussed in the run-up — each shows exactly what it would be worth to you. The moment the Budget is confirmed, this page updates to the real numbers.
Pre-Budget, you set the levers yourself — how much the standard rate band might widen, where the USC bands might move, how much credits might rise — and the calculator runs your salary through both the current (2026) rules and your scenario side by side. Once Budget 2027 is announced, the same page switches to a locked comparison using the confirmed figures from Revenue.ie.
Not until Budget day. Before 6 October 2026, every lever on this page is something you set yourself, based on what's being reported or floated — it's a way to see what a given change would be worth to you, not a prediction. After the Budget, the page switches automatically to the real confirmed figures.
Within roughly 30 minutes of the Budget speech on Tuesday 6 October 2026, once the confirmed Income Tax, USC and credit changes are published by Revenue and the Department of Finance.
Figures are estimates for informational purposes only, based on the assumptions you enter, and are not tax advice. Consult a tax advisor or Revenue.ie before making financial decisions.
