Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦2,861 to pay you ₦23,840. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦4.06 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
36.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.6% tax rate now rises to 36.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
