Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 162,872 円 to pay you 5,800,000 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.31 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
41.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 40.3% tax rate now rises to 41.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 69,600,000 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 28,023,267 円. That means that your net pay will be 41,576,733 円 per year, or 3,464,728 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 40.3% 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 46.10 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 53.90 円.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 539 円 of net incomes. A 5,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 2,695 円 of net incomes.
