Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦82,200 to pay you ₦685,000. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦4.14 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
37.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29.4% tax rate now rises to 37.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦8,220,000 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦2,420,756. That means that your net pay will be ₦5,799,244 per year, or ₦483,270 per month. Your average tax rate is 29.5% 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.
