Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦18,300 to pay you ₦152,500. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.52 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.2% tax rate now rises to 31.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦1,830,000 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦424,931. That means that your net pay will be ₦1,405,069 per year, or ₦117,089 per month. Your average tax rate is 23.2% 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 ₦28.36, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦71.64.
