Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 157,848 円 to pay you 4,962,669 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.25 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
41.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 39.3% tax rate now rises to 41.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 59,552,028 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 23,390,432 円. That means that your net pay will be 36,161,596 円 per year, or 3,013,466 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 39.3% 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.
