Total tax paid
₦666,670
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦186,631 to pay you ₦1,555,260. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦4.29 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
38.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.9% tax rate now rises to 38.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
