Total tax paid
₦470
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦190 to pay you ₦1,584. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦2.97 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
26.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17.7% tax rate now rises to 26.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
