Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 49,377 円 to pay you 336,240 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 3.58 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.1% tax rate now rises to 31.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 4,034,880 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 851,586 円. That means that your net pay will be 3,183,294 円 per year, or 265,275 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 21.1% and your marginal tax rate is 28.9%. 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 28.89 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 71.11 円.
Bonus Example
