Summary

If you make ₦1,455,480 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦320,330. That means that your net pay will be ₦1,135,150 per year, or ₦94,596 per month. Your average tax rate is 22.0% 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 ₦27.5, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦72.5.
