Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦1,352 to pay you ₦11,264. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.75 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
33.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.5% tax rate now rises to 33.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦2,928,640 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦745,945. That means that your net pay will be ₦2,182,695 per year, or ₦181,891 per month. Your average tax rate is 25.5% and your marginal tax rate is 29.3%. 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 ₦29.29, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦70.71.
