Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦10,764 to pay you ₦89,700. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.26 goes to the government.
Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20.6% tax rate now rises to 29.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

If you make ₦1,076,400 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦221,529. That means that your net pay will be ₦854,871 per year, or ₦71,239 per month. Your average tax rate is 20.6% 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.
