Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 123,961 円 to pay you 1,165,060 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
36.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29.3% tax rate now rises to 36.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 13,980,720 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 4,099,405 円. That means that your net pay will be 9,881,315 円 per year, or 823,443 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 29.3% 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.
