Based on the most up to date information, an increase of 1 percentage point in the main employer rate of PRSI from 10.75% to 11.75% would yield an additional €444m in a full year for the Social Insurance Fund. An equivalent 1 percentage point increase in the rate of PRSI paid by employees from 4% to 5% would yield an additional €374m for the Fund.
