Our Mission
PayrollGTM was founded on a simple observation: Nigerian SMEs are expected to navigate one of the most complex payroll tax environments in Africa — the Personal Income Tax Act, the Pension Reform Act, the Nigeria Tax Administration Act, the Employees' Compensation Act, ITF, NHF, and a constant stream of FIRS circulars — usually with no dedicated tax professional on staff.
The result is predictable: missed deadlines, incorrect PAYE remittances, penalties, and unnecessary compliance risk. Meanwhile, the information that does exist is scattered across government gazettes, outdated blog posts, and forums filled with speculation.
Our mission is to close that gap. Every guide on this site is written to give a Nigerian business owner or HR manager a straight answer to a real question: What is the current PAYE band? How is pension calculated for a contract staff member? What changed in the 2026 NTA that affects my payroll run?
What We Publish
Our library currently contains 11+ in-depth articles across four core categories, with new material added every week:
- PAYE & Income Tax — Rates, reliefs, filing deadlines, and the 2026 NTA reforms.
- Pension & NHF — Contribution rules, remittance obligations, and enforcement.
- Labor Laws — Employment contracts, termination, leave, and the Labour Act.
- Compliance Guides — Step-by-step walkthroughs for FIRS, PenCom, ITF, and state revenue portals.
Alongside our articles, we offer a free net-pay calculator that helps employers and employees estimate statutory deductions under the current 2026 rules. Like all our tools, the calculator is indicative only — see our Disclaimer for the full limits.
Our Editorial Process
Every article published on PayrollGTM goes through the same four-stage process before it appears on the site:
- Research against primary sources. We do not rely on other blogs. Our writers work from the Federal Gazette, FIRS circulars and public notices, PenCom guidelines, ITF and NHF official publications, and where relevant, judicial decisions from the National Industrial Court.
- Fact-checking by a qualified reviewer. Drafts are reviewed by a chartered accountant or tax consultant registered in Nigeria before publication. Numerical examples — PAYE calculations, pension contributions, NHF thresholds — are independently reworked to confirm accuracy.
- Plain-language editing. Our editorial team rewrites technical passages so that a non-accountant can follow the logic from start to finish, without losing any of the legal precision.
- Post-publication monitoring. Where a law changes — for example, following a new FIRS circular or Finance Act — we flag affected articles and update them. Each article shows its last reviewed date so readers know how current it is.
If you spot a factual error in any of our content, please report it here. Corrections are treated as a priority and typically reviewed within one business day.

Editorial Independence
Our editorial decisions are made independently of any commercial relationship. Advertising displayed on this site — including programmatic advertising served via Google AdSense — does not influence which topics we cover, what we write, or how we rate products and services.
If an article contains an affiliate link (for example, to a payroll software we have reviewed), this is clearly disclosed within the article itself. Affiliate relationships never determine our conclusions.
How PayrollGTM Is Funded
PayrollGTM is free to read and always will be. Our operating costs — writers, reviewers, hosting, and development — are covered through two transparent sources:
- Advertising. We display ads through third-party networks, primarily Google AdSense.
- Occasional affiliate commissions. When we recommend a product and you purchase through our link, we may receive a small commission at no cost to you.
We do not accept payment for editorial coverage, sponsored articles without clear disclosure, or "guest posts" that are really paid link placements.
