Total tax paid
₦21,190
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦6,000 to pay you ₦50,000. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦4.24 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
37.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.4% tax rate now rises to 37.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
