Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.8% tax rate now rises to 39.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦153,622,512 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦48,920,479. That means that your net pay will be ₦104,702,033 per year, or ₦8,725,169 per month.
