Total tax paid
₦202,567
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦60,000 to pay you ₦500,000. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦4.05 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
36.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.5% tax rate now rises to 36.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
