Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 149,348 円 to pay you 3,546,090 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.08 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
39.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 36.6% tax rate now rises to 39.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 42,553,080 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 15,569,433 円. That means that your net pay will be 26,983,647 円 per year, or 2,248,637 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 36.6% and your marginal tax rate is 45.9%. 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 45.87 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 54.13 円.
Bonus Example
