Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦31,500 to pay you ₦262,496. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.77 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
33.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.7% tax rate now rises to 33.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦3,149,952 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦810,778. That means that your net pay will be ₦2,339,174 per year, or ₦194,931 per month. Your average tax rate is 25.7% 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 ₦29.29, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦70.71.
