Total tax paid
₦64,097
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦21,338 to pay you ₦177,819. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.60 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
32.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 24% tax rate now rises to 32.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
