Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 32% tax rate now rises to 39.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦22,214,400,000 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦7,103,957,120. That means that your net pay will be ₦15,110,442,880 per year, or ₦1,259,203,573 per month. Your average tax rate is 32.0% and your marginal tax rate is 32.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
