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 ₦1,010,100 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦205,666. That means that your net pay will be ₦804,434 per year, or ₦67,036 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 ₦23.92, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦76.08.
