Summary

If you make ₦940,752 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦189,075. That means that your net pay will be ₦751,677 per year, or ₦62,640 per month. Your average tax rate is 20.1% and your marginal tax rate is 23.9%. 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 ₦23.9, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦76.1.
