Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦6,100 to pay you ₦50,830. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.06 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
27.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 18.6% tax rate now rises to 27.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦609,960 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦113,320. That means that your net pay will be ₦496,640 per year, or ₦41,387 per month. Your average tax rate is 18.6% 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 ₦22.33, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦77.67.
