Total tax paid
₦110,422
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦34,800 to pay you ₦290,000. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.81 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
34.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.1% tax rate now rises to 34.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
