Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦1,649 to pay you ₦13,740. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦2.92 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
26.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17.2% tax rate now rises to 26.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦329,760 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦56,831. That means that your net pay will be ₦272,929 per year, or ₦22,744 per month. Your average tax rate is 17.2% and your marginal tax rate is 19.6%. 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 ₦19.55, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦80.45.
