From PAYE and Pension Reform Act contributions to NHF, ITF, and NSITF — Dapplon automates every Nigerian HR and payroll requirement on every pay run, fully NDPR-compliant.
Every Nigerian statutory obligation — calculated, remitted, and reported automatically inside Dapplon on every payroll run.
Nigerian PAYE follows a graduated scale (7% to 24%) administered by the State Internal Revenue Services. Dapplon applies state-specific rules (Lagos, FCT Abuja, Rivers, etc.), computes Consolidated Relief Allowance, and produces the monthly remittance schedule.
Mandatory contributory pension under the Pension Reform Act 2014 — 8% employee + 10% employer of monthly emoluments to the employee's RSA. Dapplon files the monthly schedule with each PFA and PenCom-licensed Pension Fund Custodian.
National Housing Fund (2.5% of basic), Industrial Training Fund (1% of payroll for employers ≥ ₦50M turnover), and NSITF Employee Compensation (1% of payroll) are calculated and remitted on schedule, with annual returns produced automatically.
Dapplon applies the Personal Income Tax Act with state-specific rules, computes the Consolidated Relief Allowance, and remits 8% employee + 10% employer to each RSA per the Pension Reform Act — every payroll cycle.
Beyond PAYE and pension, Nigerian employers must remit to NHF (FMBN), ITF, and NSITF, with NHIS health premiums on top. Dapplon calculates each contribution, produces the monthly schedule, and tracks annual returns — including the ITF threshold check on company turnover.
Every Nigerian statutory obligation and HR workflow — built in, updated automatically, zero manual intervention required.
Nigerian payroll is built on basic salary plus housing and transport, with Consolidated Relief Allowance reducing PAYE base, and pension/NHF/ITF/NSITF layered on top. Dapplon handles every component automatically.
