How to Check Your TIN With Your NIN in Nigeria (Plus a Simple TAX Calculator)

I just dropped a new YouTube video on my channel showing how to check your TIN using your NIN on the NRS website, and honestly, this is something every working Nigerian should know.

A lot of people have a NIN but don’t even know whether they already have a TIN (Tax Identification Number) or how to retrieve it. If you’re an employee, freelancer, business owner, or even just trying to stay compliant, this matters.

What is TIN and why is it important in Nigeria?

Your Tax Identification Number (TIN) is used for almost everything tax-related in Nigeria, including:

• PAYE deductions for salary earners
• Personal income tax
• Business and corporate registrations
• Some bank and government transactions

If you already have a NIN, you can do a proper NIN TIN check without stress. I showed the exact steps in my YouTube Short.

After Your NIN TIN Check, Know Your Actual Tax

Once you confirm your TIN, the next question most people ask is:

“So how much tax am I actually supposed to pay?”

That’s why I added a simple Nigerian PAYE calculator right here on my blog.

With the tax calculator, you can:

• Estimate your PAYE based on your income.
• See what your realistic tax looks like, not guesswork
• Understand how deductions affect what you take home

Whether you’re paid monthly or just trying to plan better, this PAYE calculator gives you a clearer picture of your tax obligations.

Why I Made This

Too many Nigerians either overpay, underpay, or avoid tax completely because the system feels confusing. My goal is to break it down simply, using short videos and easy tools anyone can use.

Start with the NIN TIN check, then use the tax calculator to understand your numbers properly.
