Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦1,115 to pay you ₦9,294. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦4.29 goes to the government.

Real tax rate

38.3%

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.9% tax rate now rises to 38.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.4% higher than what it seemed at first.

Summary

If you make ₦19,330,563 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦5,973,914. That means that your net pay will be ₦13,356,649 per year, or ₦1,113,054 per month. Your average tax rate is 30.9% and your marginal tax rate is 32.0%. 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 ₦32, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦68.
