Real tax rate
27.9%

Summary
If you make ₦748,500 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦144,260. That means that your net pay will be ₦604,240 per year, or ₦50,353 per month. Your average tax rate is 19.3% 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 ₦22.34, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦77.66.
