Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 328,137 円 to pay you 33,344,294 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.61 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
45.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 45.1% tax rate now rises to 45.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 400,131,528 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 180,421,984 円. That means that your net pay will be 219,709,544 円 per year, or 18,309,129 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 45.1% and your marginal tax rate is 46.1%. 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 46.10 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 53.90 円.
