Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 120,584 FCFA to pay you 786,587 FCFA. In other words, every time you spend 10 FCFA of your hard-earned money, 4.63 FCFA goes to the government.
Real tax rate
40.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31% tax rate now rises to 40.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 9,439,044 FCFA a year living in Cameroon, you will be taxed 2,926,953 FCFA. That means that your net pay will be 6,512,091 FCFA per year, or 542,674 FCFA per month. Your average tax rate is 31.0% and your marginal tax rate is 39.8%. 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 39.80 FCFA, hence, your net pay will only increase by 60.20 FCFA.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 FCFA bonus will generate an extra 602 FCFA of net incomes. A 5,000 FCFA bonus will generate an extra 3,010 FCFA of net incomes.
