Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.9% tax rate now rises to 38.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦20,101,248 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦6,220,379. That means that your net pay will be ₦13,880,869 per year, or ₦1,156,739 per month.
