Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦22,207 to pay you ₦185,062. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.63 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
32.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 24.3% tax rate now rises to 32.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦2,220,744 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦538,567. That means that your net pay will be ₦1,682,177 per year, or ₦140,181 per month. Your average tax rate is 24.3% and your marginal tax rate is 29.3%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
