    How PAYE Tax Works in Nigeria (2026)

    If you earn a salary in Nigeria, PAYE (Pay As You Earn) is the tax your employer deducts before paying you. The Nigeria Tax Act 2026 updated the tax bands, and most workers need to understand how much actually leaves their paycheck.

    Your gross salary gets reduced by three main deductions: PAYE income tax based on the NTA 2026 bands, your 8% pension contribution under the Pension Reform Act, and 2.5% for the National Housing Fund (NHF). What remains is your net salary, your real take-home pay.

    Taxee calculates all of this for you instantly. Just enter your gross salary and see exactly how PAYE, pension, and NHF affect your take-home. No spreadsheets. No accountant needed. Works for all 37 states and the FCT.

Taxee calculates this automatically from your gross salary.
