Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦12,050 to pay you ₦100,416. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.31 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
29.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.1% tax rate now rises to 29.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦1,204,992 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦254,299. That means that your net pay will be ₦950,693 per year, or ₦79,224 per month. Your average tax rate is 21.1% and your marginal tax rate is 25.8%. 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 ₦25.78, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦74.22.
