Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 152,891 円 to pay you 4,136,642 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.16 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
40.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 37.9% tax rate now rises to 40.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 49,639,704 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 18,820,140 円. That means that your net pay will be 30,819,564 円 per year, or 2,568,297 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 37.9% and your marginal tax rate is 46.1%. 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 46.11 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 53.89 円.
