“A fair tax system must never punish poverty or weigh down the most vulnerable. 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,” Tinubu stated.
How the Calculator Works
The Personal Income Tax Calculator, available at https://fiscalreforms.ng/index.php/pit-calculator, allows Nigerians to compare their estimated tax payments under the new reforms with what they currently pay.
According to Tinubu, the tool is designed to demonstrate how the reforms:
-
Protect low-income earners
-
Ensure progressivity
-
Simplify compliance
-
Deliver transparency in taxation
Renewed Hope Agenda
Reiterating his administration’s vision under the Renewed Hope Agenda, the President urged Nigerians at home and abroad to take ownership of the nation’s development.
“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,” he said.
