Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦85,332 to pay you ₦711,100. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦4.15 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
37.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29.5% tax rate now rises to 37.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦8,533,200 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦2,520,917. That means that your net pay will be ₦6,012,283 per year, or ₦501,024 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.
