Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 152,079 円 to pay you 4,001,281 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
39.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 37.6% tax rate now rises to 39.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 48,015,372 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 18,074,821 円. That means that your net pay will be 29,940,551 円 per year, or 2,495,046 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 37.6% 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.
Bonus Example
