Data Analysts in Ireland earn between €48,000 and €85,000 per year. Dublin roles sit at the upper end. Total employer cost including PRSI (11.15% on earnings above €22,048/year) runs approximately 11–13% above gross salary — moderate by European standards. Data last updated February 2025.

In Brief

  • Ireland’s employer PRSI at 11.15% has no wage ceiling — unlike most European social contribution systems, it applies to the full salary above the threshold.
  • Ireland’s AERSS pension auto-enrolment launches in 2025 — employer contributions will be phased in for eligible workers not already in a pension scheme.
  • Dublin rates are 15–25% above regional Irish cities — companies at multinational tech companies (Google, Meta, Salesforce) pay at the top of the range.
  • USDC payroll is legal in Ireland: Revenue treats stablecoin salary as PAYE income at the EUR equivalent on payment date.
