Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 151,159 円 to pay you 3,847,913 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.12 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
39.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 37.3% tax rate now rises to 39.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 46,174,956 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 17,230,678 円. That means that your net pay will be 28,944,278 円 per year, or 2,412,023 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 37.3% 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.
