Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦10,098 to pay you ₦84,153. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.24 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
28.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20.4% tax rate now rises to 28.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦1,009,836 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦205,603. That means that your net pay will be ₦804,233 per year, or ₦67,019 per month. Your average tax rate is 20.4% 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 ₦23.93, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦76.07.
