Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 147,184 円 to pay you 3,185,425 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.05 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
38.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 35.9% tax rate now rises to 38.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 38,225,100 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 13,731,982 円. That means that your net pay will be 24,493,118 円 per year, or 2,041,093 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 35.9% 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 41.02 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 58.98 円.
