Summary
If you make 136,240 FCFA a year living in Cameroon, you will be taxed 21,292 FCFA. That means that your net pay will be 114,948 FCFA per year, or 9,579 FCFA per month. Your average tax rate is 15.6% and your marginal tax rate is 15.6%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of 100 FCFA in your salary will be taxed 15.63 FCFA, hence, your net pay will only increase by 84.37 FCFA.
