Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 202,440 円 to pay you 12,394,720 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.50 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
44.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 43.4% tax rate now rises to 44.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 148,736,640 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 64,510,928 円. That means that your net pay will be 84,225,712 円 per year, or 7,018,809 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 43.4% and your marginal tax rate is 46.1%. 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 46.10 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 53.90 円.
