Real tax rate
30.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.7% tax rate now rises to 30.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦1,380,384 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦299,675. That means that your net pay will be ₦1,080,709 per year, or ₦90,059 per month.
