Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦13,320 to pay you ₦111,000. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.35 goes to the government.

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.5% tax rate now rises to 30%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

If you make ₦1,332,000 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦287,041. That means that your net pay will be ₦1,044,959 per year, or ₦87,080 per month. Your average tax rate is 21.5% 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 ₦25.8, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦74.2.

Bonus Example
