Nigeria Tax Calculator is an independent educational app designed to help individuals understand and estimate their personal income tax under Nigerian tax laws.
The app allows users to calculate tax using both the existing Personal Income Tax Act (PITA 2004) framework and the new Nigerian tax reform model, making it useful for understanding how tax obligations may differ under each system.
