Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer ₦18,000 to pay you ₦150,000. In other words, every time you spend ₦10 of your hard-earned money, ₦3.51 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.1% tax rate now rises to 31.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦1,800,000 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦416,421. That means that your net pay will be ₦1,383,579 per year, or ₦115,298 per month. Your average tax rate is 23.1% and your marginal tax rate is 28.4%. 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 ₦28.37, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦71.63.
Bonus Example
A ₦1,000 bonus will generate an extra ₦716 of net incomes. A ₦5,000 bonus will generate an extra ₦3,582 of net incomes.
