Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦1,900,800 to pay you ₦15,840,000. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦4.39 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
39.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.9% tax rate now rises to 39.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦190,080,000 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦60,579,584. That means that your net pay will be ₦129,500,416 per year, or ₦10,791,701 per month. Your average tax rate is 31.9% and your marginal tax rate is 32.0%. 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 ₦31.98, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦68.02.
Bonus Example
A ₦1,000 bonus will generate an extra ₦680 of net incomes. A ₦5,000 bonus will generate an extra ₦3,401 of net incomes.
