It is assumed that the individual in question is working part time in 2013 for 20 hours a week at the minimum hourly rate of €8.65 per hour, which equates to an annual income of €8,996 per annum. In 2014, the individual takes up full time 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:
