Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.6% tax rate now rises to 30.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦1,333,800 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦287,505. That means that your net pay will be ₦1,046,295 per year, or ₦87,191 per month. Your average tax rate is 21.6% 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 ₦25.77, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦74.23.

A ₦1,000 bonus will generate an extra ₦742 of net incomes. A ₦5,000 bonus will generate an extra ₦3,712 of net incomes.
