Pay

What jobs pay in Nigeria.

Typical monthly take-home pay, after tax, as reported by the people doing the job.

Take-home pay people shared with us anonymously. We don’t check payslips. We only show a role once enough people have answered, so nobody can be picked out. Each range is the middle of what people told us, without the very highest and lowest answers.

Last updated 18 October 2026.
