Summary

If you make ₦765,936 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦148,154. That means that your net pay will be ₦617,782 per year, or ₦51,482 per month. Your average tax rate is 19.3% and your marginal tax rate is 22.3%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of ₦100 in your salary will be taxed ₦22.3, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦77.7.
