Getting the numbers right

In force now

Nigeria Tax Act 2025 — effective January 2026

Rule set 2026-01. Every figure on this site is read from it at the moment the page loads, so nothing here can quietly go out of date.
How do I know the tax figures are correct?

Every calculation runs on the Nigeria Tax Act 2025 — effective January 2026 in ordinary, tested code. No AI is involved in any figure. The same salary always produces the same answer.

We also show the rule-set version behind every result (currently 2026-01), and you can open the full line-by-line working for any employee and hand it to your accountant.

What happens when the tax law changes?

Each set of rules is frozen and dated. When the law changes we add a new rule set rather than editing the old one, so a payroll you ran last year still reproduces exactly the same figures if you re-open it. Past pay is never quietly rewritten.

Is AI used anywhere in the product?

Yes, but never for money. AI reads messy spreadsheets when you import staff, and answers questions in plain English. It is not permitted to perform a tax calculation — those come from the deterministic engine only.

My employees live in different states. Does that matter?

It matters a great deal, and it is the thing most tools get wrong. PAYE is remitted to the State Internal Revenue Service of the state where each employee lives, not where your office is.

A Lagos company with a staff member in Ogun owes Ogun that person's PAYE. We produce a separate, correctly totalled schedule for each state and show you the split before you approve anything.

The calculator is free

No account, no email wall. It runs the same engine the paid product runs — open it here.
I already keep my staff in a spreadsheet.

Upload it in whatever shape it is in. We work out which column is which, show you everything we found, and let you correct anything before a single record is saved.

Where a value isn't clear we leave it blank and flag it rather than guessing. A blank field costs you a moment; a wrong salary costs a lot more.

Will it file or pay anything on my behalf?

No, and it never will. Komply prepares the figures and documents; you review them, approve them and file them. That is a deliberate design decision, not a missing feature — it keeps you in control and in the loop.

What documents do I actually get?

A PAYE remittance schedule and a pension remittance schedule as clean spreadsheets, plus professional PDF payslips for each employee carrying your own logo. Documents are only produced from an approved payroll run.

Can my accountant see this?

Yes. Invite them as a read-only member: they can review every figure and download the schedules, but cannot change anything or approve a run.

What about NHF, NSITF, ITF and health insurance?

They are supported, and every one is switched off by default. Whether they apply depends on your size and sector, so we never deduct money from anyone's salary on an assumption — you switch each one on deliberately.

Money and data

Straight answer

Free to start

No card required to begin, and we will always tell existing users well before anything about pricing changes.
What does it cost?

Free to start, with no card required. Paid plans arrive as we open up to more businesses, and we will tell existing users well before anything changes.

Is the PAYE calculator really free?

Completely. No account, no email wall, no limit on how many times you use it, and nothing held back behind a payment. It runs the exact engine the paid product runs.

Who can see my company's payroll?

Only people you invite. Every record belongs to one company and is separated at the database level, so one business can never see another's figures.

Do you sell or share my data?

No. Your figures are yours. We use them to run the product for you and nothing else.
