Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦526 to pay you ₦4,385. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.28 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
29.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20.8% tax rate now rises to 29.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦1,140,100 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦237,570. That means that your net pay will be ₦902,530 per year, or ₦75,211 per month. Your average tax rate is 20.8% 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.
