Summary
If you make ₦426,084 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦75,661. That means that your net pay will be ₦350,423 per year, or ₦29,202 per month. Your average tax rate is 17.8% and your marginal tax rate is 19.6%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
