Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦53,100 to pay you ₦442,500. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦4.01 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
35.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.1% tax rate now rises to 35.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦5,310,000 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦1,490,138. That means that your net pay will be ₦3,819,862 per year, or ₦318,322 per month. Your average tax rate is 28.1% and your marginal tax rate is 32.0%. 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 ₦31.98, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦68.02.
