Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦13,824 to pay you ₦115,200. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.37 goes to the government.
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 ₦1,382,400 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦300,229. That means that your net pay will be ₦1,082,171 per year, or ₦90,181 per month. Your average tax rate is 21.7% and your marginal tax rate is 27.5%. 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 ₦27.51, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦72.49.
