Real tax rate
31.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.3% tax rate now rises to 31.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦1,875,000 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦437,695. That means that your net pay will be ₦1,437,305 per year, or ₦119,775 per month. Your average tax rate is 23.3% 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.
