Total tax paid
₦530,218
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦149,400 to pay you ₦1,245,000. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦4.26 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
38.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.6% tax rate now rises to 38.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
