Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 92,751 円 to pay you 632,407 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.08 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
35.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.1% tax rate now rises to 35.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 7,588,884 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 1,979,882 円. That means that your net pay will be 5,609,002 円 per year, or 467,417 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.1% and your marginal tax rate is 31.1%. 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 31.14 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 68.86 円.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 689 円 of net incomes. A 5,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 3,443 円 of net incomes.
