Summary
If you make ₦30,912 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦5,182. That means that your net pay will be ₦25,730 per year, or ₦2,144 per month. Your average tax rate is 16.8% and your marginal tax rate is 16.8%. 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 ₦16.76, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦83.24.
