Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦12,960 to pay you ₦108,000. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.34 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
29.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.4% tax rate now rises to 29.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦1,296,000 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦277,761. That means that your net pay will be ₦1,018,239 per year, or ₦84,853 per month. Your average tax rate is 21.4% 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.
Bonus Example
A ₦1,000 bonus will generate an extra ₦742 of net incomes. A ₦5,000 bonus will generate an extra ₦3,711 of net incomes.
