Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦3,078 to pay you ₦25,650. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦2.91 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
26.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17.1% tax rate now rises to 26.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦307,800 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦52,538. That means that your net pay will be ₦255,262 per year, or ₦21,272 per month. Your average tax rate is 17.1% and your marginal tax rate is 19.6%. 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 ₦19.55, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦80.45.
