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.
Summary
If you make ₦3,480,000 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦907,466. That means that your net pay will be ₦2,572,534 per year, or ₦214,378 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.1% 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 ₦29.30, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦70.70.
