Total tax paid
₦2,900
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦1,210 to pay you ₦10,080. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦2.88 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
25.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 16.8% tax rate now rises to 25.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
