Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 29,805 円 to pay you 202,965 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 3.37 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
29.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 19.1% tax rate now rises to 29.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 2,435,580 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 464,298 円. That means that your net pay will be 1,971,282 円 per year, or 164,273 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 19.1% and your marginal tax rate is 20.9%. 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 20.85 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 79.15 円.
Bonus Example
