President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has introduced a new digital tool designed to help Nigerians understand the impact of his administration’s latest tax reforms on their personal incomes.
The Personal Income Tax Calculator, unveiled on Friday, allows individuals to compare their current tax obligations with the estimated rates under the new laws, which will take effect from January 2026.
Announcing the initiative on his official X handle, the President said the tool was developed to promote transparency and ensure that citizens grasp how the reforms are structured to protect low-income earners.
“A fair tax system must never punish poverty or weigh down the most vulnerable,” Tinubu said.
“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.”
He explained that the calculator demonstrates how the restructured tax system guarantees progressivity, simplifies compliance, and shields low-income earners from additional financial strain.
“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 shows clearly how these reforms protect low-income earners, ensure progressivity, and simplify compliance in order to deliver a transparent system that works for all,” the President stated.
Tinubu further called on citizens to embrace the reforms with optimism. “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 tax calculator is now available on the government’s fiscal reforms portal at https://fiscalreforms.ng/index.php/pit-calculator.
