Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦3,720 to pay you ₦31,000. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦2.95 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
26.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17.5% tax rate now rises to 26.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦372,000 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦65,088. That means that your net pay will be ₦306,912 per year, or ₦25,576 per month. Your average tax rate is 17.5% and your marginal tax rate is 19.6%. 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 ₦19.55, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦80.45.
Bonus Example
A ₦1,000 bonus will generate an extra ₦805 of net incomes. A ₦5,000 bonus will generate an extra ₦4,023 of net incomes.
