Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦129,607 to pay you ₦1,080,062. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦4.24 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
37.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.4% tax rate now rises to 37.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦12,960,744 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦3,936,846. That means that your net pay will be ₦9,023,898 per year, or ₦751,992 per month. Your average tax rate is 30.4% 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 ₦31.98, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦68.02.
