Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 150,387 円 to pay you 3,719,304 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.11 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
39.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 37% tax rate now rises to 39.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 44,631,648 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 16,522,809 円. That means that your net pay will be 28,108,839 円 per year, or 2,342,403 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 37.0% 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.
