Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 44,719 円 to pay you 304,525 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 3.51 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
30.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20.4% tax rate now rises to 30.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 3,654,300 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 745,064 円. That means that your net pay will be 2,909,236 円 per year, or 242,436 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 20.4% 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 23.11 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 76.89 円.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 769 円 of net incomes. A 5,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 3,845 円 of net incomes.
