Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.9% tax rate now rises to 39.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦231,622,560 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦73,864,895. That means that your net pay will be ₦157,757,665 per year, or ₦13,146,472 per month.
