Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 151,712 円 to pay you 3,940,040 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.14 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
39.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 37.5% tax rate now rises to 39.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 47,280,480 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 17,737,748 円. That means that your net pay will be 29,542,732 円 per year, or 2,461,894 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 37.5% 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 45.86 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 54.14 円.
Bonus Example
