€25,000 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 €19,301 — an effective rate of roughly 28% — plus the €1,035 MyFutureFund deduction, your net pay is about €48,664 a year. Opting out of MyFutureFund would leave you with €49,699, but you'd forgo €1,380 in employer and State contributions.
