Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦107,700 to pay you ₦897,500. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦4.20 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
37.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30% tax rate now rises to 37.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦10,770,000 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦3,236,246. That means that your net pay will be ₦7,533,754 per year, or ₦627,813 per month. Your average tax rate is 30.1% 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.
