Real tax rate

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 ₦153,635,556 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦48,924,651. That means that your net pay will be ₦104,710,905 per year, or ₦8,725,909 per month.
