Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about how work from home relief is calculated
What is the Work From Home Tax Relief calculator and how does it estimate your tax savings in Ireland?
The work from home tax relief calculator Ireland helps you calculate your estimated tax refund on remote working expenses - from electricity, heating, and broadband - using Revenue-approved 30% expense apportionment rules for the tax year you select.
How do I use the Irish WFH expenses calculator with electricity, heating, and broadband bills?
Enter your annual household utility bills, the number of days you worked from home, and your gross earnings. The tool applies the formula ((A × B) ÷ C – D) × 30% to estimate your allowable remote working cost deduction, adjusting for any employer allowance received.
What expenses and deductions does the remote working tax credit calculator support?
The calculator allows you to include electricity, heating, and internet costs. If your employer provides a tax-free daily allowance (max €3.20), it will be subtracted from your claim, and the calculator computes the net expense eligible for relief.
Does the WFH relief tool adjust calculations for the tax year (2025 etc.) automatically?
Yes - you select the tax year (2021 to 2025) and the calculator applies the appropriate rules for that year, such as updated Revenue rates and applies your tax savings at your marginal rate (20% or 40%).
Can I use the e‑worker expenses calculator if my employer paid me a daily allowance?
No. If your employer pays you a daily allowance you cannot claim WFH relief in addition to this allowance.
Does the calculator reflect both real-time tax relief claims and end-of-year filing?
Yes. Whether you claimed real-time credits in myAccount during the year or intend to include remote working relief on your Income Tax Return, the calculator estimates the tax savings consistently.
Is the calculator accurate for both full-time and part-time remote workers in Ireland?
Yes - it lets you adjust the number of days worked from home and apportion utility costs accordingly, so both full-time and hybrid remote workers can estimate their tax relief accurately.
What documentation should I gather before using the WFH tax relief calculator?
You'll need your annual electricity, heating, and broadband bill totals, count of days you actually worked from home, and any daily allowance paid by your employer—this ensures accurate calculation of allowable remote working relief.
Can I model different work-from-home scenarios using the calculator for tax planning?
Yes - you can simulate scenarios by varying utility bill amounts, days worked at home, and whether you received an employer allowance - to see how your tax relief changes, helping you optimize your remote working tax strategy.
Is the Work From Home Tax Relief Calculator suitable for PAYE employees claiming e-worker relief in Ireland?
Yes - the Work From Home Tax Relief Calculator is specifically designed for PAYE employees in Ireland who qualify as e-workers under Revenue rules. It helps you estimate how much remote working tax relief you can claim on electricity, heating, and broadband costs, using the 30% allowable deduction method and applying your income tax rate (20% or 40%) to calculate potential refunds. It's ideal for anyone filing through myAccount or Form 12.
