Total tax paid
₦51,423
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦17,620 to pay you ₦146,833. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.50 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23% tax rate now rises to 31.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
