Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦5,640 to pay you ₦47,000. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.03 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
27.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 18.3% tax rate now rises to 27.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦564,000 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦103,056. That means that your net pay will be ₦460,944 per year, or ₦38,412 per month. Your average tax rate is 18.3% and your marginal tax rate is 22.3%. 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 ₦22.34, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦77.66.
Bonus Example
A ₦1,000 bonus will generate an extra ₦777 of net incomes. A ₦5,000 bonus will generate an extra ₦3,883 of net incomes.
