Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦24,800 to pay you ₦206,667. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.68 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
32.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 24.8% tax rate now rises to 32.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦2,480,004 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦614,517. That means that your net pay will be ₦1,865,487 per year, or ₦155,457 per month. Your average tax rate is 24.8% 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 ₦29.30, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦70.70.
