Total tax paid
₦83,981
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦27,116 to pay you ₦225,970. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.72 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
33.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.2% tax rate now rises to 33.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8% higher than what it seemed at first.
