Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦231,000 to pay you ₦1,924,997. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦4.31 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
38.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.1% tax rate now rises to 38.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦23,099,964 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦7,179,368. That means that your net pay will be ₦15,920,596 per year, or ₦1,326,716 per month.
