€75,000 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 €1,125 a year (€94 a month) from your take-home pay, which leaves €51,466 a year or €4,289 a month. With your employer's and the State's contributions, €2,625 a year goes into your pension pot.
| Contribution | Year | Month |
|---|---|---|
| You pay 1.5% of €75,000 | €1,125.00 | €93.75 |
| Your employer adds 1.5% | €1,125.00 | €93.75 |
| The State adds 0.5% | €375.00 | €31.25 |
| Going into your pension pot | €2,625.00 | €218.75 |
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. 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.
