Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 115,533 円 to pay you 1,012,800 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 3.96 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
35.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.1% tax rate now rises to 35.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 12,153,600 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 3,420,553 円. That means that your net pay will be 8,733,047 円 per year, or 727,754 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 28.1% and your marginal tax rate is 37.2%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of 100 円 in your salary will be taxed 37.15 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 62.85 円.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 629 円 of net incomes. A 5,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 3,143 円 of net incomes.
