Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦733,200 to pay you ₦6,110,000. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦4.37 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
39.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.7% tax rate now rises to 39.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦73,320,000 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦23,239,736. That means that your net pay will be ₦50,080,264 per year, or ₦4,173,355 per month. Your average tax rate is 31.7% 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 ₦31.98, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦68.02.
