Total tax paid
₦73,010
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦22,286 to pay you ₦185,713. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.93 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
35.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27.3% tax rate now rises to 35.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
