Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 85,246 円 to pay you 580,494 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.03 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
35.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.6% tax rate now rises to 35.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 6,965,928 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 1,782,564 円. That means that your net pay will be 5,183,364 円 per year, or 431,947 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 25.6% 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 31.86 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 68.14 円.
Bonus Example
