Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 53,937 円 to pay you 367,293 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 3.66 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 22% tax rate now rises to 31.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 4,407,516 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 967,565 円. That means that your net pay will be 3,439,951 円 per year, or 286,663 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 22.0% and your marginal tax rate is 31.9%. 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 31.86 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 68.14 円.
