📝

Running payroll in Nigeria involves more than just paying salaries. You need to handle PAYE deductions, pension contributions, and several statutory remittances.

Key Obligations

  • PAYE: Deduct and remit personal income tax monthly
  • Pension: Employer contributes 10%, employee contributes 8%
  • NHF: 2.5% of basic salary
  • NHIS: Health insurance contributions
  • ITF: 1% of annual payroll (for companies with 5+ employees)
