Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦1,450 to pay you ₦12,083. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦2.88 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
25.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 16.8% tax rate now rises to 25.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦144,996 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦24,309. That means that your net pay will be ₦120,687 per year, or ₦10,057 per month. Your average tax rate is 16.8% and your marginal tax rate is 16.8%. 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 ₦16.76, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦83.24.
