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 ₦250,560,000 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦79,921,088. That means that your net pay will be ₦170,638,912 per year, or ₦14,219,909 per month. Your average tax rate is 31.9% and your marginal tax rate is 32.0%. 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 ₦31.98, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦68.02.
