Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦9,828 to pay you ₦81,900. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.56 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.6% tax rate now rises to 31.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦1,965,600 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦463,823. That means that your net pay will be ₦1,501,777 per year, or ₦125,148 per month. Your average tax rate is 23.6% and your marginal tax rate is 29.3%. 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 ₦29.30, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦70.70.
