Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 154,942 円 to pay you 4,478,392 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.20 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
40.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 38.5% tax rate now rises to 40.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 53,740,704 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 20,710,995 円. That means that your net pay will be 33,029,709 円 per year, or 2,752,476 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 38.5% 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.
