Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦232,804 to pay you ₦1,940,033. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦4.35 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
38.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.5% tax rate now rises to 38.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦46,560,792 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦14,682,141. That means that your net pay will be ₦31,878,651 per year, or ₦2,656,554 per month. Your average tax rate is 31.5% 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.
