Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 32,326 円 to pay you 220,129 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 3.40 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
29.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 19.3% tax rate now rises to 29.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 2,641,548 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 510,989 円. That means that your net pay will be 2,130,559 円 per year, or 177,547 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 19.3% and your marginal tax rate is 23.1%. 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 23.12 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 76.88 円.
