NHF (National Housing Fund)

A contribution of 2.5% of basic salary to the National Housing Fund.

The National Housing Fund is a scheme managed by the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria. Employees contribute 2.5% of basic salary, which is deductible before PAYE. The NHF Act covers public and private sector staff, though many private employers do not deduct it. Contributions give access to subsidised mortgages.
