Summary

If you make ₦21,379,800 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦6,629,260. That means that your net pay will be ₦14,750,540 per year, or ₦1,229,212 per month. Your average tax rate is 31.0% 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 ₦32, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦68.
