It is estimated that an increase in the minimum payment for class S PRSI from €500 to €610 would yield €7.4m in a full year and affect some 75,800 class S contributors.

This estimate is based on the latest available data and reflects macro-economic indicators for 2019. It should be noted that this estimate does not take account of possible changes in contributor behaviour arising from changing minimum payments.
