Total tax paid
₦22,597
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦8,550 to pay you ₦71,250. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.17 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
28.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 19.7% tax rate now rises to 28.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
