Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 129,482 円 to pay you 1,264,803 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.02 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
36.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29.9% tax rate now rises to 36.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 15,177,636 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 4,544,110 円. That means that your net pay will be 10,633,526 円 per year, or 886,127 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 29.9% 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.
