President Bola Tinubu on Friday unveiled a Personal Income Tax calculator designed to help Nigerians estimate how much they will pay under the new tax reforms scheduled to take effect in January 2026.
In a post on his official X account, Tinubu explained that the tool allows citizens to compare their current tax obligations with those under the new framework, ensuring greater clarity on how the reforms affect individual incomes.
The President stressed that the reforms aim to create a fairer and more transparent tax system.
“A fair tax system must never punish poverty or weigh down the most vulnerable,” Tinubu wrote. “With the new tax laws I recently signed, we have lifted this burden and created a path of equity, fairness, and true redistribution in our economy.”
He said the calculator demonstrates how low-income earners are shielded under the new system, while promoting progressivity and simplifying compliance.
Tinubu added: “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 at fiscalreforms.ng/index.php/pit-calculator.
