Question: how much can you earn before paying usc?
Answer: You pay the USC if your gross income is more than €13,000 per year. (This limit was €10,036 from 2012 to 2014, €12,012 in 2015 and €13,000 from 2016 to 2020). Once your income is over this limit, you pay the relevant rate of USC on all of your income. It is calculated on a weekly or monthly basis.
