Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 78,408 FCFA to pay you 484,000 FCFA. In other words, every time you spend 10 FCFA of your hard-earned money, 3.18 FCFA goes to the government.
Real tax rate
27.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 15.6% tax rate now rises to 27.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 484,000 FCFA a year living in Cameroon, you will be taxed 75,640 FCFA. That means that your net pay will be 408,360 FCFA per year, or 34,030 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.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 FCFA bonus will generate an extra 844 FCFA of net incomes. A 5,000 FCFA bonus will generate an extra 4,219 FCFA of net incomes.
