A question on minimum living wage is appropriate and should not be less than NGN150,000.00 per month. The subsidy removal and unifying of exchange rate generated so much inflation.

ravensckar:
Una don start with una lies abi? Una no dey tire ni?

30k for contributory gift & Charity? Just talk sey na money wey you take dey bang Hoe.losho monthly.

30K for clothing? So, you buy clothes for your wife & children monthly? Bros, lie no go kill you.

Medicals 15k monthly? Shey you be Sickle Cell patient ni (apologies to all sickle cell carriers).

In summary, you want us to believe that you only save 10% of your monthly earnings? Na him be sey you no suppose to open mouth insult any government official because you too aren't great at managing resources.

Mind you, I also have a family of 4 (myself, my wife & two kids) and we no dey spend reach half of wetin you type there. Make una suffery suffery dey lie for public forum. You guys will keep scaring the fresh & upcoming graduates into thinking that they won't survive.

Anything from 500k upwards especially if you live in a city like Lagos

To me it all depends on ones life style

From Mid to senior
-
Anything from 400k Net and above is ok

Snakedoctor1:
How much is a 'good' salary in Nigerian private sector employment for a mid career professional?

900 and above

Birniwa:
For a family of four like myself, 500k looks good. Below is how I break it down, on monthly basis.

Food and other provisions - 100k
Rent - 360k
Domestic Water - 10k
Drinking Water - 15k
Electricity - 10k
School fees for two kids (after taking average as 1st term is always higher) - 45k
Car Fueling and Maintenance - 75k
Cooking Gas - 9.5k
Contributory, Gift and Charity - 30k
Clothing - 30k
Occasional Outing With Family - 15k
Medicals - 15k
Save for the rainy day - 50k
Online Skills Learning - 10k
Internet and cable subscriptions - 15k

My expenses on monthly basis are to the tune of N429,500

If you think this is too high, just know that every individual cuts their suit according to their size. Moreover, if this appears too little to barely cater for your monthly provisions, I pray one day I match this type of stability and beyond.

You are one of the riches Nigerians.
Imagine a school teacher with salary of 19k monthly

You don't pay for rent every month.

Instead of 15k medical, why not HMO?

Which one be online skills?

400,000 naira outside Lagos.


400,000 naira in Lagos is a paltry salary.

simple. Imagine earning 400k in Osogbo.. U go chop food fat wella..

Depends on the location.

200k in ilorin for example is like 500k in lagos. In a place like kebbi state, you'll live well on a 50k salary self.

In lagos, as a single guy, anything below 450 is suffering. If you earn like 300, you can still manage well a bit but you might suffer

Entry Level / Fresh Graduate - Anything less than 200k is slavery
Mid Level - Anything less than 350k, be in the job market and look for better offers
Senior - If you are a senior person in your career, anything less than 500k is slavery. Rethink your options.

People are earning N2M and above monthly with less than 10 years experience. Its all about gaining skills, certifications and experience in the right companies.

The best industries to work are Banking, BIG 4, Oil and Gas and Telecommunications. Forget Tech, unless you have years of experience, entry level pay is peanuts.

What Police pay

Not true. My friend is an inspector and receives over 170 per month.

2-5 Million/Month is standard for a young Family.

Their pays have been increased beyond this..
A corporal earns atleast 70k, an inspector earns about 170k

How is banking amongst the best

Yes permanent employees are different from contract employees...Know the difference...

Greystone:
Considering the present economic situation and perpetual inflation in this country, a “good” take home salary in my opinion is at least the naira equivalent of $1000.

You are damn right.

If you earn like 300k and you don't pass your boundary, a single person will live fine on 300k in Lagos.

I am surprised that is the only item that caught your attention... Like person go collect 6m in a year, then pay 4.32m(going by his 360k per month) as rent, The landlord hold him destiny?

darkmarky:

Now, do #4m.

They will make you the Ataoja of Oshogbo.

That was a typo, 360k is actually what I pay per annum. So I save 30k every month to meet up with the 360k annually.

I stay in the north where rents are still relatively cheap.

Curse777:


That's with allowance but here is police last pay structure

Nigeria police salary is very poor
The salary of Nigeria police should start from at least 150K per month but it’s only 50K per month.

The Nigeria police officers have to pay for their own exams to get promotion and they have to pay from their own pocket for many things.
