Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 136,949 円 to pay you 1,564,246 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
37.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.5% tax rate now rises to 37.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 18,770,952 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 5,907,838 円. That means that your net pay will be 12,863,114 円 per year, or 1,071,926 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 31.5% and your marginal tax rate is 38.4%. 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 38.42 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 61.58 円.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 616 円 of net incomes. A 5,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 3,079 円 of net incomes.
