Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 150,654 円 to pay you 3,763,764 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 37.1% tax rate now rises to 39.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 45,165,168 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 16,767,519 円. That means that your net pay will be 28,397,649 円 per year, or 2,366,471 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 37.1% 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.
