Total tax paid
₦55,107
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦18,715 to pay you ₦155,959. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.53 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.3% tax rate now rises to 31.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
