Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 47,790 FCFA to pay you 295,003 FCFA. In other words, every time you spend 10 FCFA of your hard-earned money, 4.39 FCFA goes to the government.
Real tax rate
37.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27.7% tax rate now rises to 37.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 7,080,072 FCFA a year living in Cameroon, you will be taxed 1,962,248 FCFA. That means that your net pay will be 5,117,824 FCFA per year, or 426,485 FCFA per month. Your average tax rate is 27.7% and your marginal tax rate is 41.7%. 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 41.70 FCFA, hence, your net pay will only increase by 58.30 FCFA.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 FCFA bonus will generate an extra 583 FCFA of net incomes. A 5,000 FCFA bonus will generate an extra 2,915 FCFA of net incomes.
