Total tax paid
₦105,696
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦33,427 to pay you ₦278,556. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.79 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
33.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.9% tax rate now rises to 33.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8% higher than what it seemed at first.
