Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 125,311 円 to pay you 1,189,440 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
36.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29.5% tax rate now rises to 36.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 14,273,280 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 4,208,104 円. That means that your net pay will be 10,065,176 円 per year, or 838,765 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 29.5% 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 37.16 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 62.84 円.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 628 円 of net incomes. A 5,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 3,142 円 of net incomes.
