Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 155,744 円 to pay you 4,612,140 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.21 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
40.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 38.8% tax rate now rises to 40.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 55,345,680 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 21,451,004 円. That means that your net pay will be 33,894,676 円 per year, or 2,824,556 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 38.8% 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 46.10 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 53.90 円.
