Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦11,550 to pay you ₦96,250. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.29 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
29.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20.9% tax rate now rises to 29.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦1,155,000 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦241,411. That means that your net pay will be ₦913,589 per year, or ₦76,132 per month. Your average tax rate is 20.9% and your marginal tax rate is 25.8%. 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 ₦25.78, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦74.22.
