Total tax paid
₦94,259
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦30,103 to pay you ₦250,859. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.76 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
33.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.6% tax rate now rises to 33.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
