Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦164,570 to pay you ₦1,371,415. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦4.27 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
38.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.7% tax rate now rises to 38.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦16,456,980 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦5,054,942. That means that your net pay will be ₦11,402,038 per year, or ₦950,170 per month. Your average tax rate is 30.7% and your marginal tax rate is 32.0%. 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 ₦31.98, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦68.02.
