Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦27,880 to pay you ₦232,330. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.73 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
33.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.3% tax rate now rises to 33.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦2,787,960 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦704,733. That means that your net pay will be ₦2,083,227 per year, or ₦173,602 per month. Your average tax rate is 25.3% 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.
