Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 143,632 円 to pay you 2,593,480 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.03 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
38.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 34.8% tax rate now rises to 38.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 31,121,760 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 10,818,371 円. That means that your net pay will be 20,303,389 円 per year, or 1,691,949 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 34.8% 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.
