Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦177,247 to pay you ₦1,477,056. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦4.28 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
38.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.8% tax rate now rises to 38.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦17,724,672 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦5,460,350. That means that your net pay will be ₦12,264,322 per year, or ₦1,022,027 per month.
