Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦101,400 to pay you ₦845,000. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦4.19 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
37.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29.9% tax rate now rises to 37.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦10,140,000 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦3,034,772. That means that your net pay will be ₦7,105,228 per year, or ₦592,102 per month. Your average tax rate is 29.9% 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.
