Scales are for PPC staff (appointed on/after 6 Apr 1995, Class A PRSI, paying personal pension contribution) - the relevant scale for most current staff. Pre-1995 (non-PPC, Class D PRSI) staff have lower separate scales in Appendix 2A (e.g. CO point 1 EUR 587.05/wk, EO point 1 EUR 37,211) - not included. 'annual' and 'weekly' are the published figures; 'monthly' = published annual / 12 (rounded to cent) for convenience only. Weekly scales (CO, CO Higher, Services Officer, Cleaner) are left without a monthly figure because annualisation convention is not stated in the circular. LSI = Long Service Increment (LSI 1 after 3 yrs satisfactory service at max, LSI 2 after 6 yrs). Entry is normally at point 1; one increment per year. Validity: increases under PSA 2024-2026 were 1 Feb 2026 and 1 Jun 2026 (1%); this 1 Jun 2026 table is the last under that agreement (which ran to 30 Jun 2026). Successor public-service pay talks began at the WRC in Oct 2026 (Irish Times, 17 Oct 2026); no new scales published as of 2026-11-11. Weekly working hours not stated in the circular (not filled to avoid guessing). Members also pay Additional Superannuation Contribution (ASC: 0% to EUR 34,500, 10% to EUR 60,000, 10.5% above for standard-accrual schemes; Single Scheme 0%/3.33%/3.5%) plus scheme pension contributions - relevant for net pay.
Net per month: estimate with the calculator’s default settings and the weekly hours of this agreement; with 13 or 14 salaries it is the net of one regular monthly payment. Click it to open the calculator with this amount.
Amounts the official source does not publish (e.g. a monthly figure where only annual pay is set) are not shown.
