Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.1% tax rate now rises to 31.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦1,782,000 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦411,315. That means that your net pay will be ₦1,370,685 per year, or ₦114,224 per month. Your average tax rate is 23.1% and your marginal tax rate is 28.4%. 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 ₦28.37, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦71.63.
