Real tax rate
32.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.9% tax rate now rises to 32.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦2,091,180 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦500,611. That means that your net pay will be ₦1,590,569 per year, or ₦132,547 per month.
