Summary
If you make 84,240 FCFA a year living in Cameroon, you will be taxed 13,165 FCFA. That means that your net pay will be 71,075 FCFA per year, or 5,923 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.
