Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦4,200 to pay you ₦35,000. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦2.97 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
26.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17.7% tax rate now rises to 26.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦420,000 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦74,472. That means that your net pay will be ₦345,528 per year, or ₦28,794 per month. Your average tax rate is 17.7% and your marginal tax rate is 19.5%. 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 ₦19.54, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦80.46.
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.
