FAQ
Is this calculator official?
No. This tool provides estimates for planning and budgeting. For official computation, consult payroll/HR or a tax professional.
Why is my employer’s PAYE different?
PAYE may differ due to allowances, reliefs, deductions, and rounding by payroll software. Use this calculator as an estimate.
Are banks collecting “tax” from deposits?
Many people call any bank deduction “tax.” In practice, most deductions are transaction charges/levies or withholding tax on interest earned (where applicable), not a blanket tax on your account balance. See our guide: Salary After Tax in Nigeria (2026).
