Real tax rate
38.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.5% tax rate now rises to 38.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦42,330,080 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦13,329,160. That means that your net pay will be ₦29,000,920 per year, or ₦2,416,743 per month. Your average tax rate is 31.5% 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.
