Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦1,120 to pay you ₦9,332. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦4.29 goes to the government.
Real tax rate

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 ₦19,409,582 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦5,999,184. That means that your net pay will be ₦13,410,398 per year, or ₦1,117,533 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.
