How we calculate this
Every naira figure on this page is our sourced naira exchange rate multiplied by a round foreign-currency amount — the official rate from Central Bank of Nigeria (NFEM official window), a parallel-market reference from Parallel-market traders (NgnRates / AbokiFX), and an optional live mid-market overlay. The “what it buys” figures are pure arithmetic over our staple food basket total and individual tracked commodity prices, each carrying its own source, “as of” date and confidence rating.
The ₦70,000 minimum-wage comparator is the statutory federal floor (National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act 2024, unchanged in 2026). The food basket is sized for a typical Nigerian household of about five; the comparison is an illustrative purchasing-power signal, not an official cost-of-living or remittance statistic. Actual transfer value depends on the provider's rate and fees. See the methodology for how each figure is sourced and verified.
