Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦23,196 to pay you ₦193,296. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.65 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
32.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 24.5% tax rate now rises to 32.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦2,319,552 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦567,513. That means that your net pay will be ₦1,752,039 per year, or ₦146,003 per month. Your average tax rate is 24.5% and your marginal tax rate is 29.3%. 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 ₦29.29, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦70.71.
