Total tax paid
₦56,994
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦19,274 to pay you ₦160,618. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.55 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.5% tax rate now rises to 31.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
