Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 878,331 円 to pay you 125,043,252 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.65 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
46.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 45.8% tax rate now rises to 46.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.40000000000001% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 1,500,519,024 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 687,779,462 円. That means that your net pay will be 812,739,562 円 per year, or 67,728,297 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 45.8% 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.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 539 円 of net incomes. A 5,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 2,695 円 of net incomes.
