Hourly pay in Ireland 2026: from your salary to pay per hour

A monthly salary hides your real hourly pay: leave and public holidays are paid but not worked, so each hour you actually work earns more than the contract rate. The calculator above shows both, plus your pay per working day.

39 hours a week, 20 days of paid leave and 10 public holidays on weekdays in 2026: 2,028 paid hours, of which 1,794 worked. Single, aged 35, no children.
