Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 338 FCFA to pay you 2,088 FCFA. In other words, every time you spend 10 FCFA of your hard-earned money, 3.73 FCFA goes to the government.
Real tax rate
32.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.1% tax rate now rises to 32.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 4,343,040 FCFA a year living in Cameroon, you will be taxed 918,069 FCFA. That means that your net pay will be 3,424,971 FCFA per year, or 285,414 FCFA per month. Your average tax rate is 21.1% and your marginal tax rate is 31.3%. 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 31.27 FCFA, hence, your net pay will only increase by 68.73 FCFA.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 FCFA bonus will generate an extra 687 FCFA of net incomes. A 5,000 FCFA bonus will generate an extra 3,437 FCFA of net incomes.
