Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 156,998 円 to pay you 4,821,137 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.23 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
41.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 39.1% tax rate now rises to 41.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 57,853,644 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 22,607,355 円. That means that your net pay will be 35,246,289 円 per year, or 2,937,191 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 39.1% 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.
