Summary

If you make ₦6,027,840 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦1,719,703. That means that your net pay will be ₦4,308,137 per year, or ₦359,011 per month. Your average tax rate is 28.5% 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 ₦32, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦68.
