Summary

If you make ₦656,544 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦123,724. That means that your net pay will be ₦532,820 per year, or ₦44,402 per month. Your average tax rate is 18.8% 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 ₦22.3, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦77.7.
