Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 162,933 円 to pay you 5,810,202 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 69,722,424 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 28,079,713 円. That means that your net pay will be 41,642,711 円 per year, or 3,470,226 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 46.11 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 53.89 円.
Bonus Example
