Taxes are low and progressive, with no capital gains tax, and CPF applies to citizens and residents rather than most foreign employees. The pressure comes from private housing and from a cost of living that has risen sharply, so net pay matters far more than the headline gross.

Lagos, Nigeria

The Nigeria Tax Act 2025 replaced the old relief structure with a 0% band on the first ₦800,000 and rates rising to 25%, while pension contributions of 8% come off before PAYE. Rents in the prime districts are often quoted in dollars and have repriced with the naira, so housing is the largest swing factor in any offer.
