How to calculate umbrella director contractor tax in Ireland

Umbrella director contractors are proprietary directors of the umbrella company and are paid through PAYE payroll on assignment income. Unlike umbrella employees, directors pay Class S PRSI at 4.2% with no employer PRSI deducted from contract income first - which typically means higher gross salary and net pay on the same day rate.

This calculator models director take-home pay for Ireland in 2026: enter your daily rate and working days, and it estimates net pay after the umbrella director fee, income tax, USC, and Class S PRSI.

Who should use this calculator?

  • Longer-term contractors on Paytube's umbrella director plan (typically €200+/day)
  • Directors comparing take-home against the umbrella employee route on the same day rate
  • Stamp 4, EU, or Irish citizens evaluating director-level umbrella contracting

Standard umbrella employee contractors should use the umbrella employee calculator instead. For personalised payroll guidance, contact Paytube.
