Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦9,850 to pay you ₦82,080. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.23 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
28.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20.3% tax rate now rises to 28.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦984,960 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦199,652. That means that your net pay will be ₦785,308 per year, or ₦65,442 per month.
