Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦14,954 to pay you ₦124,615. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.42 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
30.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 22.2% tax rate now rises to 30.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦1,495,380 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦331,304. That means that your net pay will be ₦1,164,076 per year, or ₦97,006 per month. Your average tax rate is 22.2% 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 ₦27.50, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦72.50.
