How much tax will a Nigerian earning 200k per month pay from January 2026?

destinychildolu:
Are you a politician that you want to live in a decent accommodation ? Don't you see people living under the bridge and are happily supporting this administration? Helinues posted the picture of his environment and it was like a jungle. Make I no talk this morning ooo

fineboynl:
20% is 40k

Ikaeniyan0:
If it's 20% before, it's now 15% under Tinubu

fineboynl:
what's the difference between 20% and 15%.

fineboynl:
20% is 40k

OneCandleAway:
So you don't want people to live indecent apartment. They must live in squalor? Isn't it in big cities there are jobs or are you blind to the many businesses that have closed since 2023 to date?
You lack empathy for your fellow man.

Softmirror:
So you don't want to pay tax.

Hedonisco:
If is better for God to destroy the world and for humanity to go extinct than for me to pay 'personal income tax' to Tinubu. God forbid.

aribisala0:
Personal income tax is paid to the government of the state where you live

100%


Not one kobo goes to the Federal Government

Hedonisco:
As an Abuja resident, one's PIT goes 100% to Tinubu, essentially speaking. But that's beside the point. Tinubu is the one pushing the so-called new tax law, and knowing him for the odiously kleptomaniacal monster that he is, God forbids that I have anything to do with this. Don't ask me how.

I don talk my own.

This irritating, unbearable character needs to be booted out before we can start talking about any meaningful reforms.

fineboynl:
Most people are nor bothered because they don’t understand it. 800k a year as benchmark is just 500$ which can barely buy a big deep freezer or a modern smart tv.

800k isn’t even enough for a single person nor to talk of family people. The government have lost touch with reality. To rent a room selfcon total package is heading for 1m.

And you are talking about 20% tax that’s insane and insensitive. There haven’t been massive protests in this administration that why they keep having the moral to be making harsh policy. The income tax will be the last straw if they start it implemention. It's outright stealing from the people without benefing anything from the government and it will worse inflation.

Truly Nigerians are missing buhari.

I never said anything about who is supposedto be paying tax did I?


You started a thread and I assume you have more than average knowledge about the topic
So I asked
Simple question for my education

How much tax will a person earning 100000 a month pay?

Just say you don't know. End of discussion

Listen to what you are saying in response

fineboynl:
and you don't know what 20% means? 20% from 100,000 is 20,000

1nigeriamyfoot:
Go and ask your paymaster

seunmsg:
See, why not get yourself properly educated before rushing to open threads like this so that you won’t end up embarrassing yourself.

Someone earning N100k monthly will earn N1.2m annually. Under the law that you’re talking about, the first 800k is not taxable. So, what will be subjected to tax and spread monthly is the 400k balance.

So you don't want to pay tax.

helinues:
The hunger you guys are not experiencing. Hahaha

It is clear that you have zero knowledge on this subject and are here to catch clout and make noise

I deliberately asked you that question to see what you know which honestly is LESS than nothing

The first 800000 is. TAX FREE

There is also a tax exemption on rent up to 500000

So if you earn 100000 a month = 1200000 a year
Only 1200000-800000= 400000 is taxable
If your rent is 30000 a month = 360000 which is less than 500000 then that 360000 is tax free

Your total liability would be 1200000 -800000-360000=40000

So you only pay tax on 40000 and @ 20%= 8000 a year or 666 a month

A person earning 200000 a month with the same rent would pay
200000 X12=2400000 -800000-360000=124000 X 20% =

248000 yearly or 20666. Monthly


What i have learnt

People who know nothing =Empty barrels


Make the most noise

Difrent:
It's you who wants to deceive people that they won't make it if they don't live in big cities
Na lie
If you can't afford to live in a big city , look for the one that you can afford and relocate there. Many people are killing themselves because they feel they can't make it outside big cities, they just be managing poverty when their lives could change for the better by simply just relocating
