You pay €1,200/yr, your employer adds €1,200, and the State tops up €400 — about €2,800 into your pension this year. You only keep the employer + State money if you stay enrolled. By 2035 your contribution rises to 6% (~€4,800/yr).
€61,000 of your income sits in the 40% higher-rate band (everything above €44,000). The first €44,000 is taxed at 20%.
After income tax, USC and PRSI of about €38,041 — an effective rate of roughly 36% — plus the €1,200 MyFutureFund deduction, your net pay is about €65,759 a year. Opting out of MyFutureFund would leave you with €66,959, but you'd forgo €1,600 in employer and State contributions.
