Here's how to calculate the man's tax and take-home pay.

Given:
Annual income = ₦150,000
Tax-free allowance = ₦40,000
Tax rate = 25 kobo in Naira

  1. Convert the tax rate to Naira.

    Since 1 Naira (₦) = 100 kobo, a tax rate of 25 kobo in Naira means ₦0.25 tax for every ₦1 of taxable income. This is equivalent to a 25% tax rate.

    Tax rate=25 kobo100 kobo=0.25 or 25%\text{Tax rate} = \frac{25 \text{ kobo}}{100 \text{ kobo}} = 0.25 \text{ or } 25\%
  2. Calculate the taxable income.

    Taxable income is the portion of the annual income that is subject to tax after the allowance.

    Taxable income=Annual income−Tax-free allowance\text{Taxable income} = \text{Annual income} - \text{Tax-free allowance} Taxable income=₦150,000−₦40,000\text{Taxable income} = \text{₦}150,000 - \text{₦}40,000 Taxable income=₦110,000\text{Taxable income} = \text{₦}110,000
  3. Calculate the tax amount.

    Tax amount is the taxable income multiplied by the tax rate.

    Tax amount=Taxable income×Tax rate\text{Tax amount} = \text{Taxable income} \times \text{Tax rate} Tax amount=₦110,000×0.25\text{Tax amount} = \text{₦}110,000 \times 0.25 Tax amount=₦27,500\text{Tax amount} = \text{₦}27,500

    The tax is ₦27,500\boxed{\text{₦}27,500}.

  4. Calculate the take-home pay.

    Take-home pay is the annual income minus the calculated tax.

    Take-home pay=Annual income−Tax amount\text{Take-home pay} = \text{Annual income} - \text{Tax amount} Take-home pay=₦150,000−₦27,500\text{Take-home pay} = \text{₦}150,000 - \text{₦}27,500 Take-home pay=₦122,500\text{Take-home pay} = \text{₦}122,500

    The take-home pay is ₦122,500\boxed{\text{₦}122,500}.
