Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 66,149 円 to pay you 450,450 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 3.85 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
33.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.8% tax rate now rises to 33.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 5,405,400 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 1,285,448 円. That means that your net pay will be 4,119,952 円 per year, or 343,329 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 23.8% and your marginal tax rate is 31.9%. 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 31.85 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 68.15 円.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 682 円 of net incomes. A 5,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 3,408 円 of net incomes.
