Choosing a Nigeria tax calculator? Here's what to check.

What to check for

Does it send your salary or business figures to a server?

TaxLane doesn't — every calculation runs in your browser's JavaScript.

Does it require signup or an account?

No — TaxLane needs no account, no email, ever.

Is it updated for the 2025 Tax Act (effective 1 Jan 2026), or still running old PITA bands?

TaxLane's PAYE calculator implements the new regime and can show you the old-vs-new difference side by side.

Does it cover more than just PAYE?

Yes — TaxLane covers:

Federal & general

PAYEVATCITWHTPresumptiveCapital GainsStamp DutyDirect AssessmentEmployer CostImport DutyPension (RSA)

State-level property tax

Can you get a result in Nigerian Pidgin, Hausa, Yorùbá, or Igbo, or only English?

TaxLane has Pidgin, Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo toggles.

Can you save, export, or share a result without re-typing it elsewhere?

TaxLane can save it to Records, export a PDF or image, or share straight to WhatsApp.

Do you need to download an app from an app store, or pay for premium features?

No — TaxLane runs in your browser and can be installed to your home screen like an app, with every feature free, no purchase required.

Does it cover state-level taxes too, or only federal ones?

Mostly federal — but TaxLane also covers several states' own Land Use Charge/LUAC, split by how detailed a result you get:
