New calculators, features, and fixes on TaxLane, as they ship.
11 September 2026
NewThe Payroll calculator now translates into Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo too — every TaxLane calculator now has full three-language coverage, including the mode toggle, guided and paste panels, results table, and payslip export.
10 September 2026
FixedFixed a grammar bug in the PAYE tax-band explorer's preview line reading "a 18% marginal bracket" instead of "an 18%."
NewThe Stamp Duty calculator now translates into Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo too, matching PAYE, VAT, Presumptive Tax, Direct Assessment, Employer Cost, Withholding Tax, and CIT.
NewThe Capital Gains Tax (CGT) calculator now translates into Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo too, including the digital-asset (crypto) category picker and its per-category disclaimers.
FixedFixed the CIT calculator's small-company threshold table showing untranslated English row labels in Pidgin, Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo — each row now shows the translated label with the original English term alongside it for reference.
FixedFixed Copy/Share/Download PNG/Download PDF/Save to Records falling back to English on the Withholding Tax and Company Income Tax calculators for Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo speakers, matching every other translated calculator.
FixedFixed Hausa's hooked letters (ɗ, ƙ, ɓ) and the Naira sign showing as blank boxes inside form controls (dropdowns, toggles, text fields) on devices without a matching system font — they now render correctly everywhere, not just outside form controls.
NewThe Import Duty & Landed Cost calculator now translates into Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo too — every TaxLane calculator except Payroll now has full three-language coverage.
9 September 2026
NewThe Company Income Tax (CIT) calculator now translates into Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo too, matching PAYE, VAT, Presumptive Tax, Direct Assessment, Employer Cost, and Withholding Tax.
FixedThe developer API's Official SDKs cards now show a plain "Not yet available" note for each unpublished SDK instead of an install command or GitHub link that didn't actually work for anyone outside the team — check back once we publish to npm, PyPI, and Packagist.
NewAdded DutyCalc.ng, an import-duty calculator with an HS code lookup tool, to the /compare alternatives list under a new "Other single-tax calculators" group.
FixedFixed the Filing Calendar's "Get reminders in this browser" toggle showing as ready to use on any desktop or Android Chrome tab — it now correctly only works once you've installed TaxLane as an app.
NewThe PAYE calculator now has an always-visible, interactive tax-band explorer slider, so you can see how take-home pay changes as gross salary moves across the tax bands without touching the real calculator or your saved Records (illustrative only — no reliefs applied).
ImprovedRestyled the PAYE tax-band explorer slider's handle and marker to align with the band bar it sits above, and added a visible keyboard-focus state.
8 September 2026
NewThe developer API's "Try it" console now supports the batch PAYE endpoint (POST /v1/payroll/batch) — build up to 5 employee rows in a form, or paste a JSON array directly, with either mode staying in sync as you switch between them.
NewThe Employer Cost of Employment calculator now shows a "Total tax & contribution rate" figure and a 3-segment bar breaking down net take-home, employee PAYE, and employer contributions as a share of total employment cost.
FixedFixed the Employer Cost calculator's two breakdown bars using inconsistent colors for the same entity — employer contributions and employee PAYE now use one color each across both bars, with a small legend added for clarity.
NewThe developer API now has an official Python SDK (pip install taxlane), covering all 11 endpoints alongside the existing JavaScript/TypeScript SDK.
NewThe developer API now has an official PHP SDK (composer require quineworks/taxlane), covering all 11 endpoints alongside the existing JavaScript/TypeScript and Python SDKs.
NewThe Filing Calendar can now remind you in this browser before a deadline, even if you haven't opened the app — turn on "Get reminders in this browser" and nothing is sent anywhere; it only works in the browser you turn it on in.
7 September 2026
FixedFixed the pay-period breakdown on the PAYE calculator overflowing the screen on narrow phones — Annual, Monthly, Weekly, and Daily now stack as separate rows instead of squeezing into a table.
NewThe Withholding Tax calculator now translates into Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo too, matching PAYE, VAT, Presumptive Tax, Direct Assessment, and Employer Cost.
NewAdded Talent.com and nigeriataxcalculator.com to the /compare alternatives page, bringing the list to twenty-seven Nigerian tax tools.
FixedCorrected the developer API's OpenAPI spec, which incorrectly said there were no rate limits — it now documents the real shared limit (50 requests/second, 100 burst) and a 429 response example for every endpoint.
6 September 2026
NewExtended the Withholding Tax calculator with three more transaction types — dividends and interest (both 10%) and royalties (5% for individuals, 10% for companies) — alongside the existing professional fees, technical services, rent, and general contracts.
FixedFixed the "Required" and "Default" column headers in the developer API's field tables still overlapping on the narrowest phone screens (320px wide), one breakpoint past the earlier fix.
ImprovedThe curl and JSON code samples on /developers now have real syntax highlighting — keys, strings, numbers, and booleans in distinct colors — plus a labeled header on each block showing the language and, for responses, the status code.
NewPublished an official JavaScript/TypeScript SDK for the developer API — one function per endpoint, no runtime dependencies, works in both Node and the browser. See /developers for install instructions.
NewThe PAYE calculator result can now show a weekly and daily breakdown of gross pay, tax, and take-home pay alongside the usual monthly and annual figures — tap "Break down by pay period" under your result to see it.
5 September 2026
NewExpanded the free developer API from two calculators to ten — Presumptive Tax, Self-Employed (Direct Assessment), Company Income Tax, Withholding Tax, Employer Cost, Capital Gains Tax, Stamp Duty, and Import Duty & Landed Cost all joined PAYE and VAT. See /developers for docs and curl examples.
NewAdded a sticky sidebar table of contents to the /developers page, so you can jump straight to any of the ten endpoints instead of scrolling through the whole page — it highlights the section you're currently reading and collapses to a scrollable pill row on mobile.
NewAdded a live "Try it" panel to every endpoint on /developers — fill in the fields and send a real request straight from the page, no code required, and see the actual JSON response come back.
FixedFixed the "Required" and "Default" column headers in the developer API's field tables overlapping each other on mobile.
NewPublished a full OpenAPI 3.1 specification for the developer API at /openapi.json, so it can be imported straight into Postman, Swagger, or any code generator.
ImprovedRedesigned the "page not found" screen with a search box and quick links to the PAYE calculator, VAT calculator, Guides, and all calculators, instead of just a link back to the homepage.
4 September 2026
NewAdded a guide on Nigeria's Office of the Tax Ombud — a free, independent complaints channel for unfair treatment or delay by a tax authority, how to file, and what happens after.
ImprovedAdded a fade at the right edge of the curl/JSON code samples on the /developers page on mobile, so it's clear there's more to scroll instead of the text just clipping.
NewAdded a text-size control to the header (default, large, extra-large), a skip-to-content link for keyboard users, and turned off animations for anyone with reduced-motion set on their device.
FixedFixed the /developers docs page centering its body copy and code samples instead of left-aligning them.
NewAdded a copy button to each curl/JSON code sample on the /developers page, so you can grab the exact text without selecting it by hand.
NewThe PAYE payslip tax check panel now lets you snap a photo of your payslip instead of typing the tax figure — it reads the number straight off the image and pre-fills the field for you to confirm. No photo is ever stored or sent anywhere; it’s processed on your device and discarded right after.
3 September 2026
NewLaunched a free developer API — POST /v1/paye and POST /v1/vat, no account or API key needed. See /developers for docs and curl examples.
FixedFixed the Self-Employed (Direct Assessment) calculator’s filing reminder reusing generic PAYE-flavored wording — it now speaks directly to self-employed filers about assessing and filing the tax themselves, in English and Pidgin.
FixedFixed the VAT calculator’s FAQ in Hausa, Yorùbá, Igbo, and Pidgin missing two questions the English version already had — whether small businesses have to charge VAT, and whether everything is really taxed at 7.5%. All four languages now show the full seven-question FAQ.
NewThe Presumptive Tax calculator now translates into Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo too, matching PAYE and VAT — quick answer, breakdown, FAQ, and filing reminders.
NewAdded NOTA and Billing+ to the /compare alternatives page, bringing the list to twenty-five Nigerian tax tools.
2 September 2026

FixedFixed the Self-Employed (Direct Assessment) calculator’s “see full citations” link pointing at Presumptive Tax’s sources instead of its own.
FixedFixed the Import Duty calculator’s citation link wrongly crediting the Nigeria Tax Act — it now correctly points to Nigeria’s customs and trade regulations.
NewTaxLane is now available in Igbo alongside English, Pidgin, Hausa, and Yorùbá — the language switcher covers the homepage, calculator picker, and the PAYE calculator so far, with more calculators to follow.
NewThe VAT calculator now translates into Igbo too, matching the PAYE calculator — single-amount and itemized-invoice entry, results, and FAQ.
NewThe VAT calculator now translates into Yorùbá too, matching the PAYE calculator — single-amount and itemized-invoice entry, results, and FAQ.
1 September 2026
FixedFixed the Import Duty calculator’s entry-mode toggle stacking into one merged, broken-looking pill on mobile instead of two clean side-by-side options.
NewTaxLane is now available in Yorùbá alongside English, Pidgin, and Hausa — the language switcher covers the homepage, calculator picker, and the PAYE calculator so far, with more calculators to follow.
NewThe VAT calculator now translates into Hausa too, matching the PAYE calculator — single-amount and itemized-invoice entry, results, and FAQ.
ImprovedHausa and Yorùbá now show an honest note instead of silently staying in English on calculators that aren’t translated yet, matching Pidgin.
31 August 2026
FixedUpdated the Privacy Policy and Terms pages’ calculator lists to include Capital Gains Tax, Stamp Duty, and Self-Employed (Direct Assessment), which were missing.

FixedFixed the Import Duty calculator’s duty-band dropdown looking identical whether it was enabled or disabled.
30 August 2026
ImprovedThe PAYE calculator’s budget breakdown, tax-savings finder, and payslip-check panels now translate into Nigerian Pidgin and Hausa too, matching the rest of the calculator.
29 August 2026
NewAdded a Self-Employed (Direct Assessment) calculator for anyone keeping proper business records — works out tax on your actual turnover minus expenses (and capital allowance, if you claim one) instead of the flat 1% presumptive rate, with a built-in comparison against Presumptive Tax.
ImprovedThe Direct Assessment calculator’s comparison against Presumptive Tax now translates into Nigerian Pidgin too, matching the rest of the calculator.
FixedFixed the Direct Assessment calculator’s result sentence dropping an arrow glyph on some devices, sometimes leaving a blank box.
FixedFixed the calculator picker leaving Capital Gains Tax and Stamp Duty stranded in an off-center row by themselves.
28 August 2026
NewDownloaded PNG and PDF results now carry a QR code linking back to the calculator that made them — handy for a printed page, where a typed web address isn’t clickable.
New/compare now includes BizEdge alongside the other HR/payroll platforms offering a free Nigeria PAYE calculator.
27 August 2026
FixedFixed the Salary Comparison tool showing a down arrow on a favorable take-home-pay increase — the arrow now always points the same way as the actual change.
25 August 2026
New/compare now lists two more alternatives to weigh us against — Peng Logistics Tax Calculator and SmartLink ERP.
24 August 2026
New/guides now covers how rental income is taxed for landlords — the PIT bands and deductible-expense rules, plus a worked example — linked from the Withholding Tax calculator.
FixedVAT and withholding tax filing-deadline notices now reference Rev360, the NRS e-filing portal that replaced TaxPro Max — the old name had lingered in the copy since the portal's retirement.
FixedTaxLane now displays correctly in Hausa — the hooked letters ɗ/ƙ/ɓ/Ƙ used in Hausa PAYE calculator copy no longer show as blank boxes on devices without a matching system font.
FixedHome's live PAYE calculator preview no longer repeats the same filing-deadline notice and "find where to file" tool twice on the page — it now shows once, below the preview.
FixedRemoved a leftover internal code reference that had leaked into the tax knowledge quiz's first question explanation.
23 August 2026
ImprovedThe tax knowledge quiz at /quiz now shows a visual progress bar as you answer, plus a check or cross icon on each answered choice — not just a color change — so progress and correctness are both easy to read at a glance.
FixedFixed the quiz's "Try the calculator" link crowding into the "Next question" button on wider screens after an incorrect answer, instead of sitting with clear space between them.
NewTaxLane is now available in Hausa alongside English and Pidgin — the language switcher in the header covers the homepage, calculator picker, and the PAYE calculator (inputs, results, and FAQ) so far, with more calculators to follow.
22 August 2026
NewLaunched a Nigeria tax knowledge quiz at /quiz, now with 25 questions covering PAYE, VAT, Presumptive Tax, CGT, and more — answer one question at a time with immediate feedback, then review any misses and share your score.
NewThe salary comparison tool can now download the two-offer comparison as an image or PDF, matching every other TaxLane result — useful for forwarding a comparison to a partner, mentor, or recruiter without sharing a link back to the site.
FixedFixed the salary comparison tool's refine drawer sometimes showing offer fields in a single narrow column on wide desktop screens instead of the intended side-by-side layout.
NewRecords now shows a year-by-year net position for digital-asset (crypto/NFT/token) capital gains — gains and losses within a year net against each other automatically, and a net loss carries forward indefinitely to offset future gains.
21 August 2026
NewAdded Life Assurance Premium as a fourth optional PAYE relief — covers premiums on your own or your spouse's life insurance or deferred annuity, with no percentage or naira cap. Available on the PAYE calculator, bulk payroll CSV upload, payslip PDF, and the salary comparison tool.
NewThe tax situation finder's result screen now has an "Add ... to your calendar" button on each matched result with a filing deadline, so you can save it straight from your result instead of hunting for it on the Filing Calendar page.
ImprovedThe /compare page's oversized "Web calculators" group is now split into two labeled subgroups — "PAYE-only" and "Multi-tax suites" — so the fourteen options in it are easier to scan.
FixedThe /compare page no longer links to TaxWaka, which currently has a broken security certificate — the name still appears in the comparison, just not as a clickable link until they fix it.
20 August 2026
NewThe Capital Gains Tax calculator now supports digital assets and cryptocurrency — pick a category (cryptocurrency, stablecoin, security/utility token, NFT, or sovereign digital currency like the eNaira) to see whether it's exempt and, where it applies, a 1% withholding estimate on your gross disposal proceeds.
ImprovedTidied up the CGT result for digital assets: what used to be up to five separate notice boxes is now at most two, grouped by "what this means for you" versus "before you rely on this number" — same information, easier to read.
19 August 2026
NewThe PAYE calculator now has a "tax on my bonus" breakdown — enter your bonus separately from your salary and see exactly how much tax it added, including whether it pushed you into a new tax bracket.
NewThe Japa relocation guide now includes an interactive residency status checker — answer six quick yes/no/not-sure questions to see whether you'd still count as a Nigerian tax resident.
18 August 2026
NewAdded a Sources page listing the exact tax law citations behind every calculator — each result screen and calculator page now links straight to the section it's based on, alongside a full list linked from the footer.

17 August 2026

16 August 2026
NewAdded an Employer Annual Return (Form H1) reminder — a new /calendar card with its 31 January deadline, and the same notice with an "Add to calendar" button on the Payroll calculator's result screen once you have at least one employee on the roster.
FixedFixed the Companies Income Tax calculator's empty-state panel leaving blank space below the bullets before you enter valid figures — it now shows a quick CIT (30%) and Development Levy (4%) rate reminder there instead.
NewThe /calendar page now has a "Subscribe to all deadlines" calendar feed — subscribe once in Apple Calendar, Outlook, or Google Calendar and every VAT, WHT, Employer PAYE remittance, Employer Annual Return (Form H1), and annual self-filing deadline shows up automatically.
15 August 2026
NewRecords now supports named profiles — save and switch between multiple people or businesses (for example "Me," a spouse, or a side business), with filtered totals, trend chart, and exports per profile.
ImprovedThe Compare page now lists four more alternatives to weigh TaxLane against.
14 August 2026

NewAdded a /guides article on VAT for services bought from non-resident suppliers (cloud hosting, SaaS, digital ads) — when Nigerian businesses must self-account for the VAT themselves.
13 August 2026

10 August 2026
FixedFixed the "where to file" panel blending into the result card behind it on several calculators (Withholding Tax, Capital Gains Tax, and others), so it now reads as its own clearly-boxed panel.

9 August 2026
NewRecords now nets your saved WHT (Withholding Tax) credits against your combined PAYE + Presumptive Tax bill, instead of leaving you to work out the offset yourself.

NewThe PAYE and Presumptive Tax calculators, and the Filing Calendar, now offer an "Add next year's reminder" once this year's annual filing deadline has passed, instead of the calendar button disappearing.

2 August 2026

29 July 2026
