Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦6.84 to pay you ₦57. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦2.79 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
24.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 15.9% tax rate now rises to 24.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦684 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦109. That means that your net pay will be ₦575 per year, or ₦47.93 per month. Your average tax rate is 15.9% and your marginal tax rate is 16.9%. 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 ₦16.89, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦83.11.
