Hi everyone, I have full time 12ph job while single paying 58 euro in tax. Is it usual tax rate in my situation? Couple years ago I was on minimum wage and paid around 10euro every week.

Assuming a 40 hour week and regular 'single person' tax status, here's what my calculator shows:

Edit: If you have a full medical card, the USC would be €6.14 per week.
