President Bola Tinubu has unveiled a Personal Income Tax calculator to help Nigerians understand the effects of the country’s upcoming tax reforms.
In a post on his official X account on Friday, Tinubu explained that the tool allows citizens to compare their current tax obligations with what they would pay under the new reforms, which are set to take effect in January 2026.
The President highlighted that the reforms are designed to ensure fairness. “A fair tax system must never punish poverty or weigh down the most vulnerable,” he said, adding that the new laws promote equity and redistribution within the economy. “With the new tax laws I recently signed, taking effect from January 2026, we have lifted this burden and created a path of equity, fairness, and true redistribution in our economy.”
Explaining the calculator, Tinubu said: “A Personal Income Tax Calculator has been developed. It allows you to check your estimated tax under the new laws against what you currently pay. It clearly shows how these reforms protect low-income earners, ensure progressivity, and simplify compliance to deliver a transparent system that works for all.”
He encouraged citizens to embrace the reforms, saying, “Together, we are renewing hope in the Nigeria of our dreams. Take a bet on our country. Bet on Nigeria to work for you, your family, and your community.”
The calculator is available on the government’s fiscal reforms portal at https://fiscalreforms.ng/index.php/pit-calculator/.
