The estimated total cost to my Department, if the rate of employer PRSI is increased to 15.75% for the portion of salaries over €100,000, is €218,948.

It should be noted that this amount is based on current salary figures and would change over time in line with any pay increases, changes in work patterns and other future work-related amendments.
