Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 135,114 円 to pay you 1,366,560 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.04 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
36.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.5% tax rate now rises to 36.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 16,398,720 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 4,997,794 円. That means that your net pay will be 11,400,926 円 per year, or 950,077 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 30.5% 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.
