Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 54,057 円 to pay you 368,108 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 3.67 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
32.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 22% tax rate now rises to 32.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 4,417,296 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 970,681 円. That means that your net pay will be 3,446,615 円 per year, or 287,218 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 31.85 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 68.15 円.
