Real tax rate
28.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20.4% tax rate now rises to 28.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦1,027,512 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦209,832. That means that your net pay will be ₦817,680 per year, or ₦68,140 per month.
