€19,000 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 €16,469 — an effective rate of roughly 26% — plus the €945 MyFutureFund deduction, your net pay is about €45,586 a year. Opting out of MyFutureFund would leave you with €46,531, but you'd forgo €1,260 in employer and State contributions.
