Sage 50 Payroll Ireland v29.2 is now available for you to download and install. You need to install v29.2 before you process a payroll dated 1 October 2026 or after, to ensure PRSI calculations are correct. Find out more about what's new in this update below.
New PRSI rates All PRSI contribution rates increase by 0.15% from 1 October 2026. This update includes these rate changes so you can continue to process payroll accurately from your first affected pay date.
Auto-enrolment contributions minimum If you process negative gross pay for an employee, v29.2 changes their employee and employer auto-enrolment contributions to €0.00. This keeps contribution values valid and reduces the risk of failed submissions. Find out more in the auto enrolment pension values when processing negative gross pay article.
Construction Workers' Pension Scheme (CWPS) rate changes On 3 August 2026, CWPS rates increased. This software update includes the updated rates. If you're affected by the changes, install v29.2 to ensure your software's rates are automatically correct.
New Validate Payroll Data message When you run Validate Payroll Data in v29.2, your software now checks for any employees near or over 16 years old and on PRSI code M. This is so you can check and update the employee's PRSI code, as code M covers young workers up to age 16.
