Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 227,067 円 to pay you 16,499,304 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.54 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
44.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 44.1% tax rate now rises to 44.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 197,991,648 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 87,221,016 円. That means that your net pay will be 110,770,632 円 per year, or 9,230,886 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 44.1% 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 46.11 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 53.89 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.
