Total tax paid
₦43,520
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦15,245 to pay you ₦127,040. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.43 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
30.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 22.3% tax rate now rises to 30.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
