Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 534,600 FCFA to pay you 3,300,000 FCFA. In other words, every time you spend 10 FCFA of your hard-earned money, 3.43 FCFA goes to the government.
Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 18.1% tax rate now rises to 29.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 3,300,000 FCFA a year living in Cameroon, you will be taxed 595,895 FCFA. That means that your net pay will be 2,704,105 FCFA per year, or 225,342 FCFA per month. Your average tax rate is 18.1% and your marginal tax rate is 26.1%. 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 26.09 FCFA, hence, your net pay will only increase by 73.91 FCFA.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 FCFA bonus will generate an extra 739 FCFA of net incomes. A 5,000 FCFA bonus will generate an extra 3,696 FCFA of net incomes.
