Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦20,250 to pay you ₦168,750. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.58 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.8% tax rate now rises to 31.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦2,025,000 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦481,224. That means that your net pay will be ₦1,543,776 per year, or ₦128,648 per month. Your average tax rate is 23.8% and your marginal tax rate is 29.3%. 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 ₦29.30, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦70.70.
Bonus Example
A ₦1,000 bonus will generate an extra ₦707 of net incomes. A ₦5,000 bonus will generate an extra ₦3,535 of net incomes.
