It is assumed that the individual in question takes up employment earning the average industrial wage (i.e. €31,485 for 2012 based on the latest information available). In addition, it should be noted that any social welfare payment that an individual may be entitled to has not been taken account of for the purpose of these computations. Furthermore, it is assumed that the individual is not in receipt of a medical card and therefore does not benefit from the concessionary Universal Social Charge (USC) rate.

It should be noted that following tax credits have been included in the computation where relevant:
