Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 140,019 円 to pay you 2,001,754 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
37.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 33% tax rate now rises to 37.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 24,021,048 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 7,925,019 円. That means that your net pay will be 16,096,030 円 per year, or 1,341,336 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 33.0% 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.
