Why Financial Controllers Use DayRate.ie

Generic salary guides don’t cut it for Irish contractors. Revenue’s PRSI Class S rules, the USC surcharge over €100k, pension relief at marginal rate — these compound in ways that make a spreadsheet essential before you accept any offer.

DayRate.ie calculates your floor rate with full 2026 Revenue compliance — so you walk into negotiations knowing exactly what €750/day actually means for your take-home.
