€105,000 after tax with My Future Fund
If your employer does not offer a company pension and you are aged 23 to 59, you are automatically enrolled in My Future Fund, Ireland's pension auto-enrolment scheme. You pay €1,313 a year (€109 a month) from your take-home pay, which leaves €65,608 a year or €5,467 a month. With your employer's and the State's contributions, €3,063 a year goes into your pension pot.
| Contribution | Year | Month |
|---|---|---|
| You pay 1.5% of €87,500 | €1,312.50 | €109.38 |
| Your employer adds 1.5% | €1,312.50 | €109.38 |
| The State adds 0.5% | €437.50 | €36.46 |
| Going into your pension pot | €3,062.50 | €255.21 |
Your contribution comes out of pay after tax and gets no tax relief; the State top-up replaces it. For every €3 you pay in, your employer adds €3 and the State €1. Once your pay for the year passes €80,000, contributions stop until January. The month in which it passes still counts in full, so with monthly pay of €8,750 contributions are taken for 10 months. The monthly column shows the yearly average. You can opt out in months 7 and 8 after you are enrolled and get your own contributions back; you are then re-enrolled after two years if you are still eligible.
