Total tax paid
₦15,700
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦6,155 to pay you ₦51,288. 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.
