Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.8% tax rate now rises to 39.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦102,900,000 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦32,699,420. That means that your net pay will be ₦70,200,580 per year, or ₦5,850,048 per month. Your average tax rate is 31.8% and your marginal tax rate is 32.0%. 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 ₦31.98, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦68.02.
