Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦68,381 to pay you ₦569,841. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦4.38 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
39.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.8% tax rate now rises to 39.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦148,158,660 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦47,173,139. That means that your net pay will be ₦100,985,521 per year, or ₦8,415,460 per month. Your average tax rate is 31.8% and your marginal tax rate is 32.0%. 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 ₦31.98, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦68.02.
