Gender Pay Gap Reporting in Ireland Just Got Bigger
From 2025, the Gender Pay Gap Information Act 2021 extends to every Irish employer with 50 or more employees. Thousands of organisations are reporting for the first time — and the requirements are more complex than many expect.
Irish GPG reporting doesn’t stop at a single mean and median figure. You’re required to calculate up to 20 separate metrics: hourly pay gaps broken down by employment type, bonus gaps, benefits in kind, and gender quartile distributions — plus a written narrative explaining your figures and the actions you’re taking.
HR teams are spending days on a process that should take hours. The Pay Equity Report Ireland Gender Pay Gap Toolkit changes that. Paste your payroll data into the Calculation Spreadsheet and every required metric produces automatically — correctly, in line with the official Irish methodology.
All calculations follow the Employment Equality Act 1998 (Section 20A) (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2022 and the 2025 Amendment Regulations.
What’s Included in the Toolkit?

Gender Pay Gap Calculation Spreadsheet (Excel 2019 upwards)
The core calculator. Paste your payroll data and all required metrics — including part-time and temporary employee gaps, bonus gaps, benefits in kind percentages, and quartile distributions — calculate automatically.
2. Included

A step-by-step guide to exporting and formatting your payroll data correctly before you open the calculator. Avoid the most common data errors before they happen.
How It Works
Preparing your Irish gender pay gap report doesn’t need to take days. Follow these three steps to produce accurate, compliant figures ready for publication
Step 1
Prepare your payroll data
Use the Data Preparation Guide to export salary, bonus, benefits in kind, contracted hours, employment status, and gender data from your payroll system — correctly, first time.
Step 2
Paste into the spreadsheet
Copy and paste your data into the Calculation Spreadsheet’s input sheet. No formula-building, no pivot tables, no manual calculations.
Step 3
Get your results instantly
All statutory metrics — hourly gaps, bonus gaps, BIK percentages, and quartile breakdowns — calculate automatically. Your figures are ready to publish and to support your narrative.
Every Statutory Metric. Calculated for You.
Irish gender pay gap reporting requires multiple distinct metrics — significantly more than many employers expect when they first encounter the legislation. The Calculation Spreadsheet handles every one of them, including the breakdowns for part-time and temporary employees that are often missed.
2025 regulation changes built in: The spreadsheet incorporates the updated 2025 Amendment Regulations, including the hours multiplier of 52.18, the inclusion of statutory leave top-up payments (maternity, paternity, parent’s leave, adoptive leave) within ordinary pay, and the treatment of share options and interests in shares as benefits in kind rather than bonus remuneration.
Why Use This Template?
Most errors in gender pay gap reporting come from manual spreadsheet calculations. This process removes that risk entirely by using a tested, methodology-compliant template. Instead of spending hours building formulas, you can complete your report in minutes — with confidence that your figures are correct.

Built for Busy HR Professionals
Under the Gender Pay Gap Information Act 2021, Irish employers with 50 or more employees must select a snapshot date in June, calculate all required metrics from the preceding 12 months of payroll data, and publish their report by November — on their company website and, from 2025, on the Government’s central reporting portal.

- Prepare your report in a fraction of the usual time
- Eliminate manual formula errors and misclassification risks
- Publish with confidence before the November deadline
- Reuse the same spreadsheet every year with fresh data
Ideal for: HR Directors · HR Managers · Reward Specialists · HR Consultants · Payroll Managers · Employment Solicitors

If you prepare gender pay gap reports for multiple organisations, this toolkit pays for itself on the first engagement. The same proven methodology, new data each time — consistent, efficient, audit-ready.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who must publish a gender pay gap report in Ireland in 2025?
Under the 2025 Amendment Regulations to the Gender Pay Gap Information Act 2021, all employers with 50 or more employees must report. The obligation was previously limited to employers with 250+ employees (2022) and then 150+ employees (2024). From 2025, the threshold is 50 employees.
What is the reporting deadline for Ireland’s gender pay gap report in 2025?
Employers choose a snapshot date during June 2025 and must publish their report within five months — meaning by November 2025. The report must appear on your company website and be submitted to the Government’s central GPG reporting portal.
What data do I need to complete the calculation?
You will need: employee gender, employment type (full-time, part-time, temporary), contracted hours (or actual hours worked if hours vary week to week), ordinary pay and applicable allowances, bonus remuneration paid in the 12-month reporting period, a benefits-in-kind indicator per employee, and any statutory leave top-up payments made by the employer. The Data Preparation Guide explains exactly how to extract and format each field from your payroll system.
Do I need to be an Excel expert?
No. You paste your payroll data into the input sheet and the spreadsheet calculates every required metric automatically. No formulas to build, no pivot tables to configure.
Does this toolkit follow the official Irish methodology?
Yes. All calculations are built to align with the Employment Equality Act 1998 (Section 20A) (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2022 and the 2025 Amendment Regulations, including the hours multiplier of 52.18, the inclusion of statutory leave top-up payments within ordinary pay, and the treatment of share options and interests in shares as benefits in kind rather than bonus remuneration.
When do I get the file?
Immediately after checkout, via a secure download link. The Data Preparation Guide is also available free above — no purchase required.
What happens if my employer doesn’t publish a gender pay gap report?
Employees can refer non-compliant employers to the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC). The Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (IHREC) also holds enforcement powers, including the ability to seek a Circuit Court or High Court compliance order. Financial penalties are expected once Ireland transposes the EU Pay Transparency Directive by June 2026. Reputational risk is significant for organisations identified as non-compliant.
What’s included in the toolkit?
The toolkit includes: (1) the Gender Pay Gap Calculation Spreadsheet (Excel, Microsoft 365 compatible), which automatically calculates all required statutory metrics; and (2) the Data Preparation Guide (PDF), which walks you through exporting and formatting payroll data correctly before you begin.
