Morgan McKinley's 2026 salary guide publishes the following base-pay ranges for this role in Dublin. They describe recruitment market pay, not the average earnings of all people doing the job.
Pay by experience
A quoted range is a guide to roles being recruited. Actual offers depend on responsibilities and the employer.
Chart scale: €0 to €150,000 gross annual base pay. The table gives the exact published figures.

The published 0–3 years range is €32,000 to €35,000. The 5+ years band reaches €55,000. The bands are quoted directly from the source, rather than averaged into a single invented salary.
Professional qualification, regulated-sector experience and responsibility for decisions can put similar titles in different pay brackets. These figures exclude any bonus or partnership income.
