Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 91,464 円 to pay you 623,078 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.07 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
35.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26% tax rate now rises to 35.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 7,476,936 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 1,945,015 円. That means that your net pay will be 5,531,921 円 per year, or 460,993 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.0% and your marginal tax rate is 31.2%. 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 31.15 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 68.85 円.
