Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 141,251 円 to pay you 2,196,580 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.01 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
37.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 33.6% tax rate now rises to 37.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 26,358,960 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 8,864,790 円. That means that your net pay will be 17,494,170 円 per year, or 1,457,847 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 33.6% and your marginal tax rate is 41.0%. 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 41.01 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 58.99 円.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 590 円 of net incomes. A 5,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 2,950 円 of net incomes.
